TV, history, music, Sean Bean & very much into birdwatching nowadays. Leaving X soon. Find me at marcia_dom2000 on Threads or @birdbluemd.bsky.social on Bluesky
Swifts have lost more than half their pop in 20 years. A simple Β£35 brick in new builds could help save them. Labour used to support this β now theyβre planning to backtrack. Sign the petition to show them the public still backs this nature-friendly fix: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/swiβ¦
Iβm not going to lie, when I read the headlines: American Pope, my heart sank. I havenβt heard his name among the papabile, I thought of all those reactionary Trumpians and I was like: βwhat??!!β. Oh me of little faith, right? I shouldβve known better. May God bless Pope Leo XIV.
Most people think theyβre just decorative guards in funny uniforms.
But the truth?
Theyβre trained killers whoβd take a bullet for the Popeβwithout blinking.
Let me show you what 99% of people miss about the Swiss Guard.

#popefrancisfuneral As a practicing Catholic Iβm used to the order of the mass and I really enjoyed the Deanβs homily (speech) about Pope Francis but the bit that got me teary was the Byzantine choir. So beautiful and spiritual.
#PapaFrancesco
L'annuncio del Card Farrell: βCarissimi fratelli e sorelle, con profondo dolore devo annunciare la morte di nostro Santo Padre Francesco. Alle ore 7:35 di questa mattina il Vescovo di Roma, Francesco, Γ¨ tornato alla casa del Padreβ.

The UKβs driving culture summed up in six seconds. The motorist wonβt even stop for Paul McCartney on the Abbey Road zebra crossing

Iβm taking part in #BigGardenBirdWatch with @Natures_Voice ! It only takes one hour of your time between Friday and Sunday to help save nature β letβs make it count ! rspb.org.uk/birdwatch PS Better done with a vegan hot chocolate and cake !
A few absences from my regulars (dunnocks and great spotted woodpecker, Iβm talking to you!), but definitely an improvement from my first time, four years ago when I had only a coat tit and a carrion crow in one hour! π @Natures_Voice#BigGardenBirdWatch
Are you taking part in the @rspb Big Garden Bird Watch this weekend? We thought we'd share some of the different species of songbirds you might see in your garden. #Gardensforbirds#BigGardenBirdWatch
Spent the morning checking the people I follow here and like are either on Threads or Bluesky. The great majority is in one or the other. Freedom is within sight β¦
The moment we were all dreading but sort of knew it was coming has arrived β¦ in the most unexpected way.
Our good-will and sympathy for him is over!
Let him feel the weight of a thousand vengeful souls β¦ and hurting fans. π¦
