#sassenachAsylumSeeker living on the Black Isle (weirdly not an island) in the Scottish highlands

Exploring local foods, beer & whisky - need to focus more on the food #metabolicallyDelirious
Felt like time to update my profile pic from a fat penguin to something more topical, it was either that one or this…

Blue skies on the Black Isle, calm before the storm hits the highlands

Allegedly every cell in our body dies and is replaced within 7 years - I moved to the highlands 5 years ago, so does that mean 5/7th of me is Scottish? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

…expecting at least 60% no (& 40% swear words) 🤣🤣

Anyone else using the www.bsky.app website on their tablet instead of the mobile app?

Not found an ipadOS app yet that gives a better experience, do @bsky.app have plans for an official one yet?

Clumsy post from govuk on threads, and their website doesn’t mention Scotland and it’s devolved support until the 2nd subpage from the link to landing page on gov.uk

Lived here nearly 5 years now and my inner monologue has developed a highland accent - sometimes I hear my brummie/staffordshire voice in conversations and look round to see who’s talking 🫢🤯

Threads new custom lists has a feature not on here 😱

If you want to add someone to a new list you can create without needing to leave their profile, go to main feed, tap the hamburger menu, then Lists to create the new list…

…before then trying to find the person you wanted to add to the new list‼️

Weirdly contented with current bsky app glitches, apparently due to >1m new folk joining today.

I blame @martinlewismse.bsky.social, everything was fine until he announced he was joining - where can we complain about him?😇🤪

I’ve just realised that my Bluesky personality compassionately hopes my Facebook personality receives the healing it obviously needs, while my Xitter personality hopes they/we both burn in hell

New delivery of 100% pasture fed mutton from the wonderful Kat at Achpopuli Farm

So lucky to have so much local high quality food here in the highlands 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Is there a commonly used short-noun or acronym for Bluesky yet?

I’m tempted to use “bsky” pronounced like a toddler asking for a biscuit - but dont want to appear as stupidly dumbed down as my Facebook persona

Plenty of you have asked for a way to support our darling, baby podcast. Which is lovely. And now we have one!

A monthly sub, to help us buy equipment and build our own little studio. Or a one-off "thanks" for our work.

Pretty self-explanatory & totally secure.

My monthly delivery of Wild Isle bone broth arrived in enough recyclable padding that not even an evri courier could damage it.

Try to buy locally but the return drive & ferry journey from NE highlands to Outer Hebrides is a wee bit too far 😇
