This caturday, our two little beans hiding from the trafford heat in a bush, like the powerful wild panthers that they are.

Drosera update: our carnivorous plant has flowered! 💐 one flower opens per day, terribly cute and polite, each one having a few hours in the sun before closing back up and leaving room for the next.

I'm an Irish immigrant to the UK, and it honestly seems bonkers that you can just go to the shop to buy fireworks here. You cannot do this in Ireland! We're not to be trusted! And our cats and dogs are caaaaalm little beasties. Anyway if you think the uk should just say no, down with this sort of thing, then fill in the consultation form xx
My electric toothbrush just failed, i've pried it open and some water must have got in, some of the componants are rusted and it's no longer turning on/off reliably, so i'm not going to try to repair, just recycle the bits properly.
So to a new electric toothbrush.
#AskingFedi Is there a toothbrush out there where I can
a) easily replace the battery
AND
b) buy biodegradeable replacement heads.
I'm generally coming up with one but not the other.
Am in the uk

not me, clutching at straws, white knuckling straws, listening to old episodes of ed milibands podcasts, hoping that he might actually do some of the things he talked about.

@robinince this is exactly what I've been wondering also. Thanks for linking to the post, and thanks for standing up for our trans siblings! x
my jaw hit the floor and will never recover. The internet is complete! that's it folks, we can close it up now, it's been perfected. Shell t-rex is the peak.

just listened to the most toe curling bit of interviewing of angela rayner on bbc 5 live, asking her about her favourite alcoholic drinks, does she still drink a snakebite or whatever, what nightclubs she used to go to, getting people to call in to say if they know about the nightclub and what people got up to there and did they ever see angela. Christ almighty it felt maddeningly 90s, oi oi ange, type of stuff. I'd want a stiff bloody drink after it, i'd be raging!

Thanks to everyone who's responded, these are fantastic! They will help my partners' patients to also remember to take their meds (and help us take ours).

@baoigheallain @clickhere a bell doesnt fit on my new handlebars, and ive taken to saying a cheery 'hello, beep beep!' as if im shooing little tots off the cycle path. Generally works

@Yfkysf@stranger.social yes, its exactly that 'reminder blindness' that we're trying to design against. I work in a loft at the moment, and now that the weather is warmer I have the velux windows open. But its manchester so it rains a lot. I put a big sign at face height by the stairs to remind me to check 'are the windows closed?' before i leave, and it worked for about a fortnight before the sign simply blurred into the background and i started to ignore it😅.
No rain spills so far tho

@sheddi@mstdn.party yep, thats the toothbrush I had. I watched that video to help me get the toothbrush apart and once I saw the word unsoldering I was like nope, theres gotta be a better model.

Anyone watch 'The Other Bennet Sister' on the iplayer at the moment? I feel like they're coding Mary as autistic. Overall the show wasn't amazing, like, the writing is a bit cartoony or something. But then other parts genuinely moved me to tears, where Mary is gaining more acceptance and insight in to her (possibly autistic) needs. I found parts of it truly graceful.
