Will follow back! 😊

There’s never a quiet moment with Mr Bean around—especially when he thinks he’s not getting enough attention! Our little warthog orphan has mastered the art of dramatic protest, and today, his competition is Bibi the buffalo.

Cue hilarious standoff of jealous glances.

Absolutely delighted to catch the drake ring necked duck - a rare visitor from America today at Victoria park

It looks similar to a tufted duck especially when asleep and hiding his beak

This is foreign interference at this point and if the countries he attacks in a way or another do not find a spine and take measures, this guy is only going to get more aggressive. Musk was voted by no one in the US, and nowhere else for that matter. So how about the press ignoring his rants?
Elon Musk called for Britain’s prime minister to be jailed and flirted with a US invasion of the country as his online feud with its Labour government cranked up a notch today.
Musk says UK’s Starmer should be in prison
Trump ally keeps up his feud with Britain’s center-left government — and asks followers if America should ‘liberate’ Britain.

A sweet Robin at RSPB Greylake this weekend. 😍
You can't beat a Robin can you... especially during the Christmas month! 😀

Actually left the house for the first time in a very long time today for an optician appointment. As other #pwme know it's hard to decide if something is worth risking making your condition worse. Anyone else with M.E get blurriness & flashes in your eyes but your eye test results are OK?

New Video: @georgemonbiot.bsky.social describes the treatment of #MECFS as "The Greatest Medical Scandal of the 21st century". The video explores the impact of ineffective & harmful treatments & how they were defended by the scientific & media establishment.

Anyone having trouble accessing certain feeds? The art one never works for me, it always shows this error message.

Harvest mouse loved to find a comfy spot just to be sometimes. A comforting calm in this ever spinning world.
Climbing her cotton stem till she found that fluffy perch was totally worth it. She could snuggle in and enjoy the view from her little sanctuary.

In my opinion, sparrows are underrated. Hot take - American Tree Sparrows are THE most photogenic sparrow. I took this yesterday at the same location as the Tufted Titmice #sparrows #birds #birding #birdphotography

My timeline isn't full of adverts, trolls, spam. I love opening the app and seeing what I actually want to see.
It also has a much calmer feel to it at the moment.

Bookmarks and trending topics would be good additions.
Let's discuss...
What is better here than on Twitter? 🤔
What part of Twitter would you like to see introduced here? 🤔

For me, the big plus is no algorithms here... although that is bound to change as Bluesky grows unfortunately..
A trending topics page would be good here too.

New starter pack, "ME/CFS advocates": "Here are some interesting accounts of #MECFS advocates to follow that are perhaps lesser known but nonetheless very valuable"

Honoured to be included by @mecfsskeptic.bsky.social who I consider one of the most insightful advocates

One of my favourite facts 🌱🌿🌼

The old English for daisy is dæges ēage which means "day's eye". Simply because the daisy flower opens in the morning and closes at night.

Beautifully eloquent 💃

These are some of my daisies during #nomowmay this year 💕🙏

I loved #Joan on ITVX. Never a dull moment and a great 80s soundtrack 👌 Well worth watching if you haven't already.

Bluesky seems very pleasant so far, I hope it stays this way!

No new photos to post at the moment but here's a couple of flowers from the summer 🌺🪻
