Elite sex-conspirators list their names and crimes in emails and birthday cards to one another.

At least Dan Brown had the church disguise its dark secrets by jumbling the letters up and doing mirror writing and lemon juice.

A lot of folks like to treat it like the other, much bigger, much longer established platforms, with advertising money... bsky team is a tiny group of nerds trying to do something better and different. and they see what you say about them, and they care.

I'm on holiday. In the spirit of @pombalstoat.bsky.social "photos without context" travel journalism, you're getting, surprisingly enough, travel photos without context. Guess the country! (No reverse image search 🧐)

An astonishing story
This reminds me of the story of our temporary lockdown cat, Wassail.

Buckle up.

Back during COVID, we had no pets, although our girls dearly wanted one. We were spending more time in the garden just for the fresh air, so imagine their delight when a very friendly cat started visiting 1/x
Okay. So. Amazing scenes playing out at the vets when i arrived to pick up Napoleon.

Names changed/removed. But get ready for a lost kitty story with a happy ending.

It starts late last year, when the elderly neighbour of a young couple went into a care home /1
