@hasmis probably because it's not annoying enough for them. I wouldn't care that much if a seagull nicked my apple, but I'm mad as heck when they steal my pasty/chips/lobster roll 😂
Standing next to mum watching a squirrel on the deck eating an apple I put out yesterday.
Mum: "do they eat apples?"
Me: "well, yeah...I mean, he's literally eating it right now"
Mum: "well, I wasn't sure they did"
Me: "Mum, they eat McDonald's fries what makes you think they wouldn't eat an apple" 😂

Nice! Just realized my 30 year old #guava #tree has #fruited for the first time in several years!

Over on Twitter it’s like the Penguin is in charge of Gotham.

Another nail in my twitter coffin. My account has been locked for selling counterfeit goods... for a tweet mentioning no goods, linking a tweet mentioning no goods (from an "official" account no less)
@trinsec I know, right? 😂 7 is a wonderful age.
He's got such great responses to things. The other day i asked him: "what's the first thing you would do if you woke up in the morning and you were suddenly a grown up?"
His reply? "I'd go to the doctor because it can't be normal to sleep THAT long!"
😂😅😂
I expected "eat chocolate rocks for breakfast" or "drive your car" or something. More fool me 😅
@trinsec he did. Actually he seemed to think that made much more sense than if Santa could actually see you - because if he can see you why can't you see him? Lol.
Funny #santa conversation with the kiddo:
Me: "Finn, can you get your pajamas on before you start playing that game?"
Finn: *gets up and gets pj's on*
Me: "That was very good. You didn't complain or argue you just did it. I think Santa was watching that"
Finn: "He waa watching me just now? When I waa naked 😳?!?"
😂🤣💅
Me: "well when I say he was *watching* it's more like he gets a *sense* or a feeling when someone does something good."
Me: *phew* I think I dodged that 😅😂
@krisSacrebleu yes!! That's why I deleted my account, too, the day after Elon did this (waited 24h only to give my friends a heads up that I was moving to Mastodon). Even though, as my husband said "Trump probably won't return" - NOT the point. He opened the door.

I love you Jack White.
“trying to help a fascist have a platform so you can eventually get your tax breaks. I'm a believer in free speech but wouldn’t let the KKK hold a rally at our record label’s performance stage.”
Jack White kills Twitter acct over Elon Musk welcoming back trump, other conspiracy theorists and white supremacists.

Women are spending more time in the metaverse than men & are more likely to spearhead metaverse initiatives. Yet funding & CEO roles go disproportionately to men. In orgs shaping metaverse standards, 90% of leadership roles are held by men.

Just putting this out there to support #BlackMastodon since #BlackTwitter needs a new home... ✊🏾
@kasey @Kurzgesagt@quey.org @kurzgesagt yeah I'm hoping they come back, if either one is....seeing as "the other place" is such a disaster.
Guys, @kurzgesagt is on here! I love #kurzgesagt and my son does too. He begs to watch a video at bedtime. Some of the best #sciencecommunication out there. And....I love that duck 🦆😁
Damn...someone just drove a car into the #AppleStore right near my house. Multiple injuries. I was just at #DerbyStreet yesterday - it's a small store and it's so busy at this time of year. Really not good. Hoping that there are no fatalities. This is very shocking. #Hingham
