📚I remembered I had backed up this graphic novel on Kickstarter (or something: I'm ageing), but I hadn't checked when it was due,so it was a lovely surprise to get it today. It's really wonderful, @colleendoran.bsky.social you did such an awesome job! @goodomensnews.bsky.social #pratchett #goodomens

For my continuing series featuring #Critters in my #garden, here is our latest acquisition. I'm guessing it's a she because she's rather large, no less than 8cm. I've read that the presence of #prayingmantis means the garden is healthy and #biodiverse, is it true? I'd never seen one in over 50years!

Listening to Jeremy Vine's show on BBC2. Don't you just love how the first way Conservatives in the UK propose to save money is to cut help to people with depression and mental health issues? Robin Hood in reverse 🤢

Forgot to post this yesterday for the Rum thingy over at @dwcon.org - here's a nice little hot drink they have here in the Austrian mountains 🥃 I guess it might be Nanny Ogg's nightcap 😂 #discworld #nannyogg

🧶 So today I pulled out a pattern I've had for years and never tried - and of course I had to make it in a *totally different yarn*. People, let me give you the Willendorf Venus!
(I just slightly re-engineered the headdress and added a subtle physical detail)

My husband @ocramipp.bsky.social got our gecko on camera yesterday ❤️ Gecko's been living with us for three years, I love to see how much he's grown. Or she. Anyway, I call him Douglas and I love to see him around!

🧶 Today for the wonderful Crochet feed here I'd like to introduce you to my latest pattern mod - a cool Flying Cow!
My son asked me for this for his friend's birthday (apparently it's based on a running joke they have) and I made the wings and sunglasses 😎. ⤵️

Donald Trump continues to aggressively take over government records. Sources name conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt and far-right journalist John Solomon as potential replacements for National Archives head.

Seems that everyone is posting owls for #SuperbOwl, sorry to be late to the party but here I am with this pic I took 10 years ago at The Bird in Hand in Leicestershire where we were holidaying. Still one of the best AirBnbs I've ever been! This was one of their owls.

Short-eared Owl taking a short break from hunting over the marsh at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, DE.

Always give owls space, don't trample sensitive ecosystems to get the shot, and never post nest locations on social media.
