A portrait of a short eared owl face
All of our wildlife patients this year so far have been owls, but this is our first short-eared.
You can help prevent car strikes like this by obeying rural speed limits and not throwing any litter out of cars. Even organics like apple cores attract rodents to roads, which attracts their hunters. πͺΆ

Today I want to talk about Jessβ Rule and Marthaβs Rule, two new initiatives across NHS England that I think are really important and you should know about.
Tl;dr: if your symptoms are not improving or getting worse, at home or in hospital, you have the right and Drs the responsibility to review.

Check out The Unbroken - <b>On the far outreaches of a crumbling desert empire, two women--a princess and a soldier--will haggle over the price of a nation in this richly imagined, breath-taking sapph...
Excitingly, itβs worth noting that The Unbroken ebook is on sale for $2.99 in the US! Maybe in other places, too. And while yes, that means it is on sale at Amazon, it is also on sale at bookshop.org! So if you havenβt started the trilogy that includes straps, threesomes, and crumbling empiresβ¦well!

We're still trying to teach my one year old cavalier that he physically can't sit on people's shoulders anymore (and hasn't been able to since he was guinea pig-sized) but the need to be As Close As Possible is difficult to argue with lol

people don't need free training sessions on fucking AI bullshit that no-one wanted anyway, they need free training on how to use their email, how to reset their password, how to spot a scam, and most of all how to fill out online forms that you have to do to navigate almost any part of life now

I bought some dried mango as a treat to nibble throughout this week, forgetting that I loose all self-control when its presence.
Which mean I have. uh. significantly less dried mango that I did when I opened the packet. Ten minutes ago

I think at this point the UK has accepted Paddington as the Death Bear, collector of souls. So, I think as a nation we should start smearing marmalade on the eyes of the dead and whisper βfare for the crossingβ. Itβll feel weird now but, in three of four generations, no one will question it.

People think that anyone can do the job of communicating to the public but the fact is the profession of telling people stuff and doing it a way they understand, process, and engage with is actually an incredibly highly skilled job that many, many people lack the training and ability to do.

Despite the baffling floorplan and the horrendous boat and the peaky blinders loo and the animals, I somehow can't totally dismiss it? Some of the interior design is genuinely doing it for me. My eyes are bleeding, but it's doing something. I'm going to be thinking about this for the rest of the day
