Rogue gamekeepers killing #birds of prey, says RSPB

More than 1,300 protected #BirdsOfPrey – from hen harriers to golden #eagles - have been killed across the UK over the past 15 years, according to the RSPB.

It described the deaths as a “national disgrace” and blamed the majority of incidents on rogue #gamekeepers trying to protect stocks of pheasant, partridge and grouse on countryside #shooting estates.

Why we need to be honest with children about the brutality of nature

It can be hard to explain the realities of the natural world to children, but we need to acknowledge the suffering of wild things, says Richard Smyth

Hello #CallOfCthulhu #GameKeepers  

I am in the initial stages of planning my first ever session running a #ttrpg and am excited but pretty nervous. I have really enjoyed playing Call of Cthulhu and love the game and the universe (minus the racism) generally.

I've settled on #TheLightlessBeacon as the scenario I will run and have watched a few reviews on YouTube. But I would LOVE to hear how others have run it especially if it was your first time. I would love to hear from players too, things that worked and your experience of it as whichever character you played.

So please, if you're up for it, let me know how it went for you? And please boost if you wouldn't mind so I can meet and learn from other Game Keepers and players in the #fediverse
