BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

I do wonder if the rather generic sounding name held Guns of Fury back, it really doesn't sell you on the kind of fun you're in for.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

if it carries on like this the tories will end up MPs so pale you'll be able to see the colour of the wall behind them.

Perhaps if we give them all Vitamin D suppliments it will bring them back to sanity...

Everyone on the fence about A.I., there's something you don't realize.

It's purpose is to eliminate human jobs and human skills.

That's it. That's its single purpose. For companies to no longer pay people or train them in skills.

Right. Apologies for the delay. Really didn’t expect so much interest in a grumpy little Welsh owl so thank you for all the kind words - I’ve loved reading some of your own rescue stories.

Lots of you had rehab-related questions so thought I’d tackle the big ones here in one looong thread… 🧵

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
