Them: Your costume is too small to be a harp.
Me: Are you calling me a lyre?

@CCochard @drandrewv2 I've always felt it's more about train sets and having mates who are landlords, personally. I can see why you think they're potential bigots who don't communicate, though. 🤷
@Ecosaurian @drandrewv2 Flipping heck.
@drandrewv2 😂 I think you're spot on with this. Sure there is some value in being present in the design office (where my experience lies) but it's slight, and only really applies to very early careers.

Dave Dawkins (D. Harrigon)Deer deliver in the strangest of places! If you find a fawn in your yard, leave it alone, do not touch, move or feed it. They have no scent and predators cannot find them unless humans interfere. Mom leaves during the day for 2 primary reasons: to feed, and to keep her scent away. Mom will return, but not until dusk and not if humans are around. If you discover the gift of a fawn enjoy the experience, and let the Mom do what comes naturally. Please share, thank you. #wildlife

Good. Not a moment too soon.
Dr. Emma L Briant🐕🇬🇧in🇦🇺Oh my God! “Around 440 people appear to have been left adrift after the coastguard sent no rescue vessels to 19 reported boats carrying #migrants in UK waters” Union representing the coastguard: “No government that cares about #humanrights would allow staffing levels to drop so low that it endangers human lives” We don’t know how many people drowned because the Agency “refused #FOI requests for the details of outcomes, relying partly on an exemption for “vexatious” requests.” #refugees
