OMG! You GUYS! You can get a pigeon picture just for doing a thing you're probably already doing or considering doing!
I want to unload some of these pigeon paintings so all the ones in this thread are available for best offer prices (min $50) in donations MN mutual funds, the Immigrant Defense Project, or AABB.
DM if interested!

#PigeonSky Passing a large building in the city centre today, on the way home from work, I heard juvenile squeaks. I looked closely, and saw a very large (almost adult), fluffy pidgeolescent under some of the stonework. I took a couple of pictures (still in camera just now).

Have you thought of renaming yr blocklist 'Transphobes', bcos its current title is frankly pretty offensive. Most British ppl aren't transphobic: you're using the stance of a loud-mouthed, well-funded minority to libel all of us.

Today we celebrate Zack Polanski! A British politician and, as of Sept 2025, leader of the UK Green Party. Jewish, gay, and vegan, he’s spoken out for gay and trans rights while focusing on Gaza, the climate crisis, and the cost-of-living crisis.

The 1992 film is good (Juliette Binoche as the mother & daughter Catherines); 1978 BBC serial (now on iPlayer) is excellent - multiple episodes allow the whole story to have room. There's also a brilliantly spooky 1988 Japanese version, 'Arashi Ga Oka', set in mediæval Japan.
