Older than all of y’all. She/her.
I squeal about the child. A lot.
I also post pics of things (mostly plants, bugs, the odd mushroom, sometimes birds) I find on my walks.
Often sweary.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PeacefulSolitude, a singular bird, in a peaceful setting. Our contribution is a Snowy Egret (Egretta thula) patiently waiting for its next meal at the edge of a lake. #birds #photography

Decided it would look better as a two-tone pattern, so i frogged the lot and started again.
It does, indeed, look waaaay better.

@robcrank68.bsky.social has set today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme as #CollectingFood, birds with food in their beaks. This juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron caught a Black Bullhead, but that was just the beginning of the struggle. Those fine spines are no joke! #birds #digiscoping

#CollectingFood is the #BirdoftheDay theme, and I've posted others of this lunch bite, but not this shot. A Great Blue Heron flipping the fish into the right orientation to swallow. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #Portrait. I found this #GreatBlueHeron on one of those impossible days that combined brilliant sunlight and rain.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #CollectingFood (birds with food in their beaks), so here is Larry, one of the local #GreatBlueHerons, keeping down the invasive goldfish population. (There are multiple Larrys, but no one will admit that.)

Wrote this for @migrantvoice.bsky.social on hostility of this government's changes to immigration rules for "earned settlement". We hear politicians talk about "British values", "integration" and "fairness". Labour destroys any concept of all three with its treatment of migrants through this policy.
"This reform [earned settlement] risks not only the wellbeing of migrant communities, but the fabric of British society. A system that rents belonging rather than grants it corrodes trust, weakens families and devalues people based on narrow definitions of worth"

We have been wondering about this for a while, so could y’all fix the video ALT?
Pretty please?
It’s not just people with screen readers who need the ALT, bbs.
But also, people are putting excellent ALT on vids, and we all deserve to be able to read it.

I got a question, so just in case anyone else is wondering...
Yes! My screen-reader does read out the alt text you put on videos, TY.
Dunno why you can't read it with your eyeballs tho!
It's not like SR users are the only people using alt text. So IDK why it's visible on images but not videos?
