Two birdies, actually. And the thingies on their heads and below their birdie chin definitely make them look like chicken.

Sandra Schwab @scribblingsandy.bsky.social · 22h

It's definitely a birdie.

But to be fair, it's a really large chicken.

I'm sorry, but for budget reasons, your chariot to the afterlife is scheduled to be pulled by a chicken.

She offered to row the old wizard and the young king out on the lake. When a hand emerged from the water, holding a sword aloft, the king took the sword. And she took hold of the hand, let herself be pulled down, down.

The Lady of the Lake breathed air into her lungs with a laugh.

"You again?"

Wie widerlich ist das denn? Queerness zu instrumentalisieren, um einen Genozid zu rechtfertigen - als ob es keine LGBTQIA Menschen in Gaza gäbe und als ob diese nicht auch durch die Bomben der israelischen Armee ermordet werden würden. The frigging White audacity of Müller and the Queerde crowd!

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?” 🧵

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

I've already gone and emailed like 50 people about this a while ago. Everyone who bothered to reply to me is against Chat Control (Greens, Liberals, Social Democrats mostly), so it might be good to put more pressure on parties/MPs right of centre now. They're the most likely to still support this.

Are you in the EU? Then check this out: There's a proposal to scan ALL of our private digital communcations, including encrypted messages and our pictures. This basically means mass surveillance of all EU citizens and severely undermines our rights + democracies.

It is a deliberate policy: for two years now, Berlin’s mayor has chosen not de-escalation units but riot police – officers known for routinely unleashing extreme levels of violence against anti-genocide protesters; week after week, day after day.

"What they propose is in effect a mass surveillance free-for-all, opening up everyone’s intimate and confidential communications, whether government officials, military, investigative journalists, or activists. For all of Europe’s talk of sovereignty, this is a bizarre cybersecurity decision"

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...
