Eid Mubarak to those celebrating! Here’s some vintage cards from Pakistan @presentcorrect.bsky.social
Two cards. On the left: A simple light blue card with a thin gold border. Embossed are two birds flying in gold - maybe swans or storks? At the bottom, also in gold is some possibly Arabic or Sindhi which translates to Eid Mubarak. On the right: A light coloured card with a good leaf oval border. The background is a light, almost leopard print pattern. In the middle of the oval it says Eid Greeting in green, where Eid is in a slightly fatter font. The G in Greeting is large and encompasses Eid into it. The dot over the I in Greeting is a crescent. Very nice font!

Not sure what’s this in the Brent this evening but it had a nice sheen on it @brentpollution.bsky.social no birds in this stretch tonight.
River with a dirty sheen on it. The same river with a bit more of the sheen but also some brown discharge. Not sure what it is

Confession:

This week, I snapped

For the third time in a week someone said “it’s a shame DrownedinSound is not still going” 🤦

But it is as a podcast & newsletter, so I need your help to reconnect to the 3m who read DiS

Remembering #Low's Mimi Parker today. I've uploaded a video of her singing Laser Beam at the Scala, almost 20 years ago. youtu.be/WzhnvtqMZbk.
Black and white photo of Mimi Parker behind her drum set during the Scala gig in November 2004. The mallets in her hands are a blur as the photo is snapped mid movement.

When brands forget to add alt text on their posts vs. when they ask how to make their content accessible.
Meme of popular "Doge" dog with showing two different expressions. The top half shows annoyed Doge. It has it's mouth open, like it's shouting. The caption reads: "When we see a brand not using alt text on their social posts!” The bottom half shows a calm, slightly smug Doge with its paws crossed, giving side-eye to the camera. The caption reads: "When they drop us a DM wanting to learn about making their posts accessible."

Haven’t updated my #ProofofCat for ages. Also check in with your friends when they’re ooen enough to let you know that they’re not doing well.
A tabby cat lying on a large patterned red rug, with his head on his paws, looking unimpressed. The background is a mix of red and yellow fabrics.

#proofOfCat is this guy wearing a makeshift Sindhi ajrak collar.
Picture of cat wearing a little printed fabric collar tied at the side, looking up, presumably at some treats.
