And there he was, sitting on a cushion in the living room, completely dry, looking at me like "where did you go with my treats?" He was also helped home once by a guy who saw him roaming, followed him home & rang the doorbell for him 🤣 I have no idea how he got out. He was a little asshole.

Ahahahahah. Fuck off.

Itvx headline; Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak offer advice to incoming PM Andy Burnham. The picture is a candid shot of Boris Johnson that has caught his hair looking like Marilyn Munroe's skirt in an updraft.

I'm not falling for that hot take. That's clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at. I refuse to participate in that kind of perversion.

Watching Disney's #RobinHood after the chatter today. Started watching a VHS recording uploaded to Archive org on my phone & then remembered I get Disney+ free with my bank account 😅 Gabby knows a wrong'un when she sees one.

In the background is a TV showing Prince John (a lion) and Sir Hiss (a snake) from Disney's Robin Hood. In the foreground a brown chicken appears to be giving Prince John some side eye.

How, little earwig? How?? She was completely stuck and very weak. I managed to very gently tease her out, but in not wanting to squish her I held her too loosely and dropped her into the straw 😖

A close up of the underside of a padlock. Sticking out of the little hole beside the keyhole is half an earwig. She seems to have wedged herself in very tightly.

Police; we haven't ruled anything out yet. Weirdo media; police investigating left-wing terrorism!! We told you!! We are innocent victims of left-wing extremism!! What the police actually mean; we don't know anything & if we say it was terrorism we get to hold onto people longer.

A screenshot of headlines.

Itvx; ann Widdecomb killed in "targeted attack" say counter-terrorism police.

BBC; Review of MP security needed says Burnham.

The Independent; police "considering oeft-wing motive" in killing of Reform politician.

BBC again; Police say Ann Widecombe killed in targeted attack as motive investigated.

The Telegraph; The let's constant demonisation of Reform was a ticking time bomb.

All is forgiven and I guess apple is still on the menu. She is still taking her favourite snacks. Particularly sunflower seeds, oats, coconut oil. Good for calories, but not a nutritious diet, even with a the odd bug she forages. #Chickens

Madeleine is moulting. It makes her feel so miserable she can refuse to eat. Moults take weeks. If she's not eating I have to tube feed her. Which is not fun for anyone, especially when the tube shoots off the nozzle & splatters liquid food everywhere 😩 The indignant noise she made 😆 #Chickens

The head of a brown hen, with runny beige food splashed across her beak and comb. She looks rather annoyed.

Last one. I just love this pic of Madeleine. She's 10 years old, boss of everyone, has laid about three good eggs her whole rescue life, survived horrific peritonitis, a two hour op, AND a fox attack. So she's allowed to sleep in the rabbits' bed if she wants.

Aerliss@aerliss· Jul 5

They're so curious. I dunno what she thought she was about to do with that "gonna fly to a perch" stance... 😬

They get supervised outside time, and their run is large, covered and has a dirt and straw floor, so they have plenty of chances for outdoor fun. But honestly they love being in the house. I try to restrict them to the kitchen, for floor cleaning purposes, but they've worked out they have wings..

Gallery of Horror (1967) was fun. Also terrible. Accents? Optional. Wardrobe had no era notes. Acting? Also optional. The final twist of the last story was very good though. It's like the shoddiness throughout was a setup for the final shock. www.imdb.com/title/tt0062...

See horror from beyond the grave!

A new horror fright.

See strange terrors beyond belief!

This! My house as a kid was always cool downstairs (granted we never got 40c temps), and I only recently realised it was because the roof was weird. Also the sun never blocked out the TV. Not my house, just a similar example.

A semi detached house where the slanted roof comes down past the upstairs windows and comes to an end over the ground floor windows and door, so that there's a couple of feet of overhang.

Please put water out for wildlife. Including overnight for our native mammals, especially hedgehogs. Even if you've never seen one, trust me; they're there. A large baking tray makes a great bird bath. And don't forget a shallow saucer, in the shade, for our pollinators.

Today’s Metro ad...

Obsidentify thinks they're shield bug nymphs. Either common green, hawthorn, or box bug. We do get green and hawthorn, but I've never spotted a box bug. Also you don't see a lot of boxwood around. I have hawthorn in the garden though.

Spotted something interesting on one of my kuffiyeh.

A red and orange striped keffiyeh, with some strange little green orbs, the size of round pinheads attached to it.

A closer look at the green orbs on the kuffiyeh. They have antennae, and wiggly little legs. Also an orange spot on the their backs.

Cheezy really, really needs a bath, but he's 23 and I fear he'll lose his last whisker, at best. He's already lost all his plush 😭 .

And old TY Beanie Baby mouse plushie. He was once white but is now a murky grey, with tiny pink paws. He is sitting up on his bean filled haunches, and pointing at a fake cat skeleton that is holding a giant eye in its mouth.

About to see a ballet performance...

Photo of a programme for a performance of Dracula. Tag line is "ballet at its darkest". The image on the cover is of Dracula standing by alone in a pool of red light, back arched and yelling.

I am very amused that Tumblr has chosen a deranged AI with dentures for a head over Very French Lestat. Also, Kinger won his round against someone from Psych. Lucifer & Vox lost their rounds but Alastor won his... against a duck 🤣🤣🤣 #TADC #IwtV #HazbinHotel

Unfortunately I must defend the USians here. www.etymonline.com/word/aluminum

A screenshot from the Etymonline app. It is the entry for "aluminum";

1812, coined by English chemist Sir Humphry Davy, from alumina, alumine, the name given by French chemists late 18c. to aluminum oxide, from Latin alumen "alum" (see alum). Davy originally called it alumium (1808), then amended this to aluminum, which remains the U.S. word. British editors in 1812 further amended it to aluminium, the modern preferred British form, to better harmonize with other metallic element names (sodium, potassium, etc.).Aluminium, for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound. [Quarterly Review, September 1812]Aluminum foil attested by 1859; popularized in food packaging from c. 1950.

My work notebook stickers speak for me.

Stickers on a bamboo notebook cover. At the top is Dazai from Bungo Stray Dogs. He's looking a little chibi, and as if he's collapsing backwards, or falling through the air with his arms outstretched and head thrown back. Below that is Chuuya, also from Bungo Stray Dogs. He's screaming in horror and/or anger, and his eyes have flashed white. Slightly over him is the Vessel from Hollow Knight. They have collapsed on the floor. A little speech bubble says "nope", and below them it says "not today".

I found out what they are. Teeny, tiny baby ladybirds 😍🥺🥰

Underside of an apple leaf. It has two moth cocoons made of silk attached to it, and a small group of hatched insect eggs. Around the empty eggs are ladybird nymphs, barely 2mm long. They are black, with elongated oval bodies and six legs.

Aerliss@aerliss· May 21

Pseudoscorpion in my compost bin!

A tiny little scorpion like bug. It has an oval body and little nubby head, 8 small legs and 2 massive pincers. Like a scorpions they're segmented and jointed.

Aerliss@aerliss· May 20

Gorgeous close up of an apple leaf miner grub from here; www.dorsetnature.co.uk/pages-moth/b... Look at this blobby little cutie! How gorgeous is that?

A very, very closeup view of a tiny green caterpillar living inside an apple leaf. It's body is segmented into 12 very clear circles, like a children's toy shrunk and brought to life.

Aerliss@aerliss· May 20

I also asked obsidentify to ID some insect eggs, which it can sometimes do. But these were too generic... or just too blurry. Look, it's hard taking photos in the dark, on the underside of leaves, without disturbing the bugs on the leaves 😅

A higgledy piggledy cluster of tiny yellow insect eggs on the underside of a leaf.

Really thought it would struggle with this, but it matched the pupa pictures taken by others and boy do I have a lot of the adults flying in my face at night, plus lots of tracks on the apple leaves. Apple leaf miner; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyoneti...

A little cocoon made of webbing, on the underside of an apple leaf. It's about 8mm long, and attached by four corners to the leaf with more webbing.

Aerliss@aerliss· May 20

Next was a green caterpillar on my apple tree. You'd think that would be a bit more difficult, but again, obsidentify was 100% confident. I'm excited to see them as adults. So pretty. Hopefully the blue tits don't find all of them. Green silver line; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoi...

A small green caterpillar on a twig. It has silvery lines running the length of its squishy body.

Aerliss@aerliss· May 20

Spotted three new-to-me crawlies in the garden. I thought they might be a challenge for @obsidentify.bsky.social but it was very confident on all three. First up, this kinda blurry brown moth was ID'd as a clouded bordered brindle; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apamea_...
