The Quaker style funeral of Lindsey Stewart. Lindsey sung with the Moorheart Threshold Choir who sing to the dying. Here they are singing to her.

Just had a flash back to preteen times and visiting my grandfather.
When offered a biscuit out of his tin, I was occasionally surprised to find that not only was there was a sugar lump, but that no-one else had taken it. It amused him enough that he never told me why it was there.

Since everything is awful and it’s nearly Christmas, who’d like some pictures of ship’s cats? Don’t worry dog lovers, a canine thread’s coming soon! Let’s start with Tiddles, sitting in his favourite spot on the carrier HMS Victorious in 1943 (he liked playing with the bell rope)

My god. It's full of stars.
This sparkling #JWST stellar scene is Westerlund 2, a young star cluster only a few million years old and containing some of the hottest, most massive stars known.
Westerlund 2 is situated within the Gum 29 stellar nursery, and is around 20,000 lightyears from home.

Reminded of when, during lockdown, the Princess Bride became an actual folk tale, to be retold, lovingly.

I do not have the skill set to do this but one thing my parents did ingrain in me is that the purpose of these groups’ door knocking is not actually to convert- the leaders know that doesn’t work. It’s to teach members that they will be ridiculed, ostracised, despised outside the cult
