i'm a simple man, i see crows, i think @mothninja
@amiserabilist @mothninja corvids make us look stupid. Granted, low bar

@amiserabilist YES! CORVIDS AGAINST HOSTILE ARCHITECTURE 😍 Fight the good fight, fabulous feathery friends! 💪🐦‍⬛

Thank you Paul, you have no idea how much your crow-posting cheers me up 💚

@mothninja

it is nice to associate people with animals, like dæmons in His Dark Materials.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A6mon_(His_Dark_Materials)

@MAJ1 a squirrel  

@Alice a naked mole rat  

@BlippyTheWonderSlug a slug

@LRRRonEarth an omicronian

@MamasPinkyToe a toe?

@JustaJason007 @alexpsmith parrots  

@ravensrod ferrets

@wendinoakland a dancing lobster 
etc.

good thing i never went to bari for the carnival.

everyone was busy, so he just had lunch with a friend.

Dæmon (His Dark Materials) - Wikipedia

@amiserabilist @MAJ1 @Alice @BlippyTheWonderSlug @LRRRonEarth @MamasPinkyToe @JustaJason007 @alexpsmith @ravensrod yes exactly! I always wanted my daemon to be a raven 🖤
I'm trying to think who would be yours - maybe a librarian ape, to mix the fantasy writers?

@mothninja @MAJ1 @BlippyTheWonderSlug @JustaJason007 @alexpsmith @Shelfie

Upon reaching adulthood, a dæmon permanently settles into one animal form that reflects the human’s mature personality, character, or profession.

lazy

moody

unemployed

Opossums are nocturnal creatures that love to sleep during the day. They are the epitome of lazy animals because they spend their active hours at night scavenging for food. Their slow, deliberate movements and tendency to play dead when threatened show just how laid-back these animals can be.

but i liked Lee Scoresby and Hester.

i used to have a rabbit.

maybe a rabbit then.

@amiserabilist
As long as they are a very knowledge-hungry rabbit with elite level lookup skills :)

@MAJ1 @BlippyTheWonderSlug @JustaJason007 @alexpsmith @Shelfie

@amiserabilist @MAJ1 aww yes perfect! This is how I shall imagine you from now on :)))))

@mothninja @MAJ1

this rabbit:

@amiserabilist @mothninja @MAJ1

I’ve seen skateboarding turtles, but I’ve never seen rabbit smoke two dogs.

EPIC.

@amiserabilist @mothninja @MAJ1
It does look like the whole thing was set up by some clout chasing morons. So while I applaud the rabbit’s efforts, I’d rather see the evil fuckers who staged this try and get away from those dogs, after they learnt they’d been exploited for clicks.

I’d boost that, but not this.

@blabberlicious

i never thought of that.

oh dear.

we have had small dogs go missing who they suspect were used in fights.

what a world.

at least it was a good outcome, and dare i say the rabbit looked like it was having fun.

@mothninja @MAJ1

@amiserabilist @mothninja @MAJ1
There were multiple drones in the air, you could occasionally see them bobbing into shot.

What a world, indeed.

@amiserabilist @mothninja @MAJ1

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Skateboarding turtles off the shoulder of Orion. I watched rabbits smoke dogs near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die"

@amiserabilist @mothninja @MAJ1 Seriously, I declare this rabbit to be my animal totem / daemon / spirit guide / whatever 💛💛💛
@amiserabilist @mothninja @MAJ1
Pfew, I was worried about the little guy.

@amiserabilist @mothninja @BlippyTheWonderSlug @JustaJason007 @alexpsmith @Shelfie I think you would make a great Librarian (of the Discworld variety obs!) Paul :-

“One such accident had turned the librarian into an ape, since when he had resisted all attempts to turn him back, explaining in sign language that life as an orangutan was considerably better than life as a human being, because all the big philosophical questions resolved themselves into wondering where the next banana was coming from.”
Terry Pratchett —Equal Rites

Also :-

“Darwin’s theory of evolution explains how lower lifeforms can evolve into higher ones, which in turn makes it entirely reasonable that a human should evolve into an orangutan (while remaining a librarian, since there is no higher life form than a librarian).”

Terry Pratchett — The Science Of Discworld

@amiserabilist @BlippyTheWonderSlug @mothninja @MAJ1 I've already made my wife agree to drive me around the town - day or night - when we hear that Trump is dead.

She will drive, and I will play my trumpet out of the window: "Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead".

It's not the best song to play on that happy occasion, but I think my neighbors will understand.

I might get a ticket, which will be a minor souvenir of the glorious event.

@grumble209 @amiserabilist @BlippyTheWonderSlug @mothninja @MAJ1 Be sure to have the video running so we all can enjoy!!!

@amiserabilist @mothninja @Alice @BlippyTheWonderSlug @LRRRonEarth @MamasPinkyToe @JustaJason007 @alexpsmith @ravensrod Morning all 👋😊

Happy to be amongst such magical company!

Anyone seen my duster BTW?

@MAJ1 @BlippyTheWonderSlug @ravensrod

https://days.to/until/spring

ah, just worked it out.

Dust was an elementary particle. It had different names in the different worlds of the multiverse: Dust or Rusakov Particles in Lyra's world, Shadows, Shadow-particles or dark matter in Will's world, and sraf in the mulefa world.

Dust

Dust was an elementary particle. It had different names in the different worlds of the multiverse: Dust or Rusakov Particles in Lyra's world, Shadows, Shadow-particles or dark matter in Will's world, and sraf in the mulefa world. Dust was an elementary particle responsible for consciousness, and was, in fact, itself conscious. Dust gravitated strongly to sentient species, like humans and mulefa, and attracted to adults in particular. Dust was produced by sentient beings by creative, interesting

@amiserabilist @BlippyTheWonderSlug @ravensrod Have you tried to wash Pledge™ out of fur! 🙄🤦‍♂️ 😆

Hah Spring is a myth - this winter is going to go on for Evvvvveeeeerrrrrrr!

@mothninja @amiserabilist

I would wear that T-shirt.
"Corvids against hostile architecture"
And it's a crow ripping anti-bird spike off of a ledge.

@Gurre @amiserabilist yes me too, great idea! Who can we ping with artistic skills and a t-shirt shop?

@Gurre @mothninja

birds against hostile erections.
