A special #TwigOfTheDay today, Exidiopsis effusa ,Hair Ice , growing along a crack in a twig. The white candy floss in itself isn’t a fungi but a waste product of the fungi consuming the tree bark. Temperatures have to be below freezing, like today in Northumberland,for it to form into these dense hairlike white strands #fungi

It's becoming increasingly obvious that evangelical theologians have lost the plot when they invoke #nazi tropes to further their arguements against #LGBTQ people.

As for theology:

"Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything."

[Robert A. Heinlein]

It's absurd how many of these I own, given I've never lived in a country that uses them. As much as I am a convert to the UK plug design (versus the Australian one for sure) I think the UK should transition to the EU standard just for general sanity. (Yeah, not gonna happen any time soon… I know. Should be a condition of rejoining the EU 🤣)

I reckon things should simply stop shopping with cables. I don't need a million VGA cables either. I don't even remember when I last used one.

It's #NationalShowerWithAFriendDay! 🛁

If showering with a friend is impractical in the confines of your bathroom (or you just don't want to see your friend naked), consider using an emergency drench shower!

These safety gadgets are found in embalming rooms to quickly rinse off formaldehyde or other dangerous chemicals that have splashed onto the embalmer's skin.

Don't stay in too long though - drench showers are plumbed into cold or tepid water only.

Teachers in republican Florida are hiding books to avoid being arrested.

Any questions?
