I remember that eclipse. I don’t think it was total all over the UK. I was in Wales and it just went a bit dark - I watched it on TV in a caravan!

And here’s a snake-based campus fiction that particularly resonates with my life. If you haven’t enjoyed such things up until now, I hope you can enjoy them now

Everything is so horrible. Most people have family or friends whose immigration story they could tell. Until we can have a statement that humans are inherently valued what can we do?

I can’t click the link. But maybe also Japanese people refuse to talk to BBC journalists about sex and they made assumptions? This seems weird.

If there are sausages in need of homes they would be very lucky to live with you.

Good luck, I hope one comes soon.
When we tried unsuccessfully to adopt a dog I did notice that sometimes the photos were cleverly taken to avoid objects that could give away the size! Surprise dog as big as your house could be difficult.

Did you specify a breed or are you open to mystery dogs this time?
November 15, 2025 at 1:54 PM
OK I may be convinced!

Horror might be one for @azaldua.bsky.social!
I am working on the assumption that ghosts are on the whole nice, just as humans and animals are.
But maybe in a different reality that would need to be understood.

They could well do. My dog is on hyper alert for threats such as vans 3 streets away closing their doors.
Or maybe animals see a lot of ghosts all the time so they only alert to different ones? Maybe ghosts are just floating there but we don’t realise it.

Does this mean animals are better at seeing ghosts than humans?
That also could have something to do with being able to see different frequencies/wavelengths?
Maybe dogs can smell ghosts.

Have you seen this film?
Not everyone seemed to like it but I thought it was really good

Imagine ghosts of bees! There must be loads. 🐝

Thank you for all of these answers, this is really cool.
I like the idea that the “scary” ghosts might just be one idea, and then there could be this whole parallel world of ghosts that is just happening.
I suppose I find it actually unlikely but I also like to think about it.

I’ve seen quite a few episodes but maybe not in order (because I’m rubbish at telly). It’s pretty funny.

I think I could have more questions about ghosts soon.

Do ghosts fade away with time?
What is their half life?

If ghosts don’t fade away, is the world getting more and more filled up with ghosts? Especially ghosts of animals that there are a lot of?

If it is true that ghosts remain at the geological strata where they originated, do the lower down ones only see rocks and things, or do they also see the ghosts of things that used to be there, like trees?

Do plants have ghosts?

Relatedly, even if animals can only see the ghosts of their own species, living animals can see each other. So in that case could ghosts see ghosts of other animals, even if living animals can only see certain ghosts?
November 14, 2025 at 5:48 PM
Are there ghosts of all animals or just humans?

Can animals only see the ghosts of their species? So do humans only see human ghosts, while cows only see cow ghosts? Or can all animals see all ghosts?
