A siskin, Carduelis spinus. According to RSPB, the siskin is a small, lively finch, smaller than a Greenfinch. It has a distinctly forked tail and a narrow bill. The male has a streaky yellow-green body and a black crown and bib.
Not sure when it happened, but my backyard bird feeders seem to have gone viral on SiskinTok. I used to get one in a blue moon, now I'm seeing them daily.

I enjoyed this film! Have you already seen it on the small screen? I would have liked to see it in the theatre.
Someone I was talking with said she has JOMO - "joy of missing out" and I was like, omg, finally a word for what I am constantly feeling!
A tiny dog's nose and one paw peek out from a fuzzy brown blanket. The dog is lying in a grey dog bed.
My dog was standing by her bed whining at me and I couldn't figure out what she wanted, and then I noticed her blanket wasn't in her bed so I went and got it and she was like FINALLY and laid down and I tucked her in and now she's happy π

Ministers are exploring triggering the break clause in Palantir's NHS contract. I've signed the open letter to Wes Streeting calling on him to get Palantir out of the NHS. If you're in the UK, please sign too.
Have I mentioned I love Sophie Hunter? Because I do.

More like this please. But really, domestic abusers should be jailed in the first instance. Not only after they drive their victims to suicide.
Scotland, can I ask you a question? How is it possible for it to simultaneously be true that it is sunny outside and yet STILL RAINING????
More like this, please
True. We're not imprisoning them. Or shooting them in the face.
Reminder: Margaret Thatcher died 13 years ago on this date!
I propose to raise a toast on her behalfβa G&T, obviously. (And good riddance to bad rubbish.)
As Frankie Boyle said, "The problem with pissing on Margaret Thatcher's grave is that you eventually run out of piss." I'm going to be borrowing that line for a great many people who are way past due to be joining the choir invisible.
Can't wait for my upcoming trip to the Isle of Mull. I've booked a tour to Staffa and Treshnish to see the nesting puffins. SO looking forward to it! π #puffins

Another Nazi Barbie defenestrated. Poor, poor Pammie. The latest one to find out that being a loyal footsoldier for Trump is a loser's game. See you at The Hague, Pammie. You'll look great in orange.
These are amazing π Read the whole thread
You know, it regularly chaps my entire hide that there are so many of the very worst people in the world still alive and staggering around this earth doing horrible things when we've lost people like Octavia Butler, Molly Ivins, and Paul Wellstone way before their time. WTF, Universe??
Was it a fishnet-stockinged leg topped by a fringed lamp shade? Did the box it came in say "Fra-GEE-ley"?
I quite enjoyed "The Lost Cause" by Cory Doctorow. π
Firefly was kind of ruined for me when Joss Whedon turned out to be a sex pest and Adam Baldwin joined the misogynist Gamergate monstering. Hard to look the same way at the series after that.
this is so comically hamhanded it has a real chance of boosting Kat over the finish line in what is an incredibly close primary
thereβs a lot of bad money floating around elections but some of it is very stupid
Dark money groups are paying influencers to spread attacks about our campaign.
Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate our election.
This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nationβs services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.
jfc. We are living in the most excruciatingly stupid timeline of all. Seriously, this is The Bad Place.
After her disastrous mistake of voting to confirm the murderously incompetent Sean Duffy, Baldwin votes AGAIN to further Trump's agenda? I have always voted for her since her 1st run, but I swear, if she is primaried from the left, I'm voting to replace her. Enough is enough, @baldwin.senate.gov.
