“For a company that claimed not too long ago that it was ‘working hard’ to increase oil production, handing out $75 billion to executives and wealthy shareholders sure is an odd way to show it," said White House spokesperson Abdullah Hasan.
It will never cease to amaze me that we said, "hey, actually, it *does* matter if Black people live or die," and that made white people lose they muthafuckin mind.
Here is another two images of the Lesser Redpoll I saw for the first time this morning. Love the little red dot on their head. So pretty.

Tried two different places this week for my #LunchSpot and loved both. This one was the new Italian deli and cafe. Truro is so well served with good places to eat and it just keeps getting better.
Pictures show an olive tree growing in a huge pot, a top down view of my lunch (pizza) and a close-up of the mosaic tabletop.
A good lunch out is my main self-care in a stupidly stressful and difficult (impossible!) job, so it's really important to me and in an ideal world I'd eat lunch out every day. A good week is when my job is still stupid but I get five good lunches. Came close this week!

Since Mastodon leans techy, I’m hoping the message gets to the people who need to hear it:
Stop using a single indicator light that switches between red & green to indicate states. It’s meaningless to red/green colorblind people like me. Do multiple indicators, consider blink vs fully lit states or whatever.
Anyone fancy a bungalette? There are some lovely details in this advert from c1933. Two power points. Not two per room, but two per house.

I've never really had imposter syndrome, but wow, sometimes I feel like I know nothing about animal anatomy.
What keeps me from feeling like an imposter is I'm pretty sure virtually no one does. It's lost knowledge that we palaeozoology sorts are trying to bring back.
Discovered today that my shoes uniquely make an incredibly LOUD ‘Squeak-Fart’ (Squart?) noise on the polished floor of my local super market.
It was early, it was quiet – too quiet, there were shoppers on every isle. What I needed was a few hundred steps away at the back of the shop. I took a step. ‘SQUART’. What to do?
It didn’t matter how I placed my weight, ‘sQuArt’, or altered my gate, ‘SQuArT’.
I went slow, ‘Sqquuaaaarrrt…’, I went fast ‘SquartSquartSquart’.
Disaster, no good options.
Sweary and opinionated. It's best not to take it personally. Also hilarious but that might be less obvious.
