    I cuffed off and deleted my twitter a fair while ago because it degenerated in to just hate and bigotry instead of pictures of bikes and stuff i actually cared about. Ive just got bluesky and im struggling to get my head around how it works for feeds. Any suggestions of good tags thingys (probably not the right name for em) to follow?

    I always refer back to the cat care manual "the unadulterated Cat" by Sir Terry. Never name a cat something you arent comfortable shouting outside at 2am while banging a tin with a spoon.
    A fantastic read by the way and i fully recommend.

    Having come here for advice after i readopted my old cat when the grandkid was discovered to be allergic. Its with a heavy heart i must report that Claymore, scourge of Alsatians and neighbourhood kids, has passed. Poor old sod had a low weight when i got him back and began to pile the beef back on. But a sudden weight loss and he stopped eating and was drooling excessively. This meant a trip to the vets and a diagnoses of kidney failure. So I'm likely haunting this feed to get my cat fix. My son helped me clear out the cats stuff last week and its surprising how much he accumulated in 6 months ish which my sister has accepted for her moggie.

    Saw this in the thread and find myself liking the idea of running commuting for work when its reasonable distances. Like 2-3 miles as I'm old and lazy.

    Now ive fallen down the rabbit hole of not only running backpacks for this but also the ReOmm website for some decent camping stuff for on my bike.

    Is that the cat equivalent of an asbo bracelet on their collar? Gods what did they do?

    Yeah I know. But a lot of my gaming and hobby groups use it to organise :(

    You'd think people have seen at least some of the light after the thugs torched buildings etc. But on my FB I'm still seeing people in my local community group giving it "I'm not a racist, I'm just concerned for my country and the mass influx of immigration"

    Honestly the most depressing thing is seeing folk justify this behavior as patriotism. At least it made it easy to know who just drop from my friends list in the next FB cull.

    So this is the "please dont send me to jail" apology. Bet theres a few more of those appearing in social media over the next few weeks.

    I hope its true and hes had a moment of epiphany and realised how his actions impacted others. Most likely he realised how it will impact him.
