#Mucking

It's mucking day. The horses, chickens, and rabbit all need fresh bedding.

One stall done, I need a break before the second one. Sherman dug what I've named a 'diva ditch' in the front of both stalls. I'm stripping everything I can out, refilling the holes, and moving the stall mats forward before refreshing the bedding. He's hanging out in the other stall for a bit while I gather energy for the next one.

Chickens don't require a lot of heavy lifting, so I decided to get them taken care of before dumping this load and heading in for water and a bathroom break.

They are getting their big kid feathers and getting very indignant at my audacity to mess with their brooder. Lots of practice hops and flaps now, so I had to cover part of the top so they didn't have a chance to jump out.

This is more digging through the archives and finding photographs shot on the last walk I went on in Thurrock before upping sticks and moving down to Keynsham in July 2022. It is interesting looking back on these images and realising just how bleak it could get down on the Thames estuary, even at the height of summer. This makes me appreciate what I have on my doorstep here in Keynsham:)

I become consumed with jealousy every time I look at mudlarking instagram pages.

Translations of each of Martyn's power cards in his episode!

(originals done by @cherrifire; I've omitted her character art, if/when she posts the full card screens those should be what you rb, this is just to get some translations out there in the meantime)

So I saw a few drivers talking about Colapinto’s start, and here it is.

It’s crazily impressive how he dives into the first corner

Well it's literally going to be so cold for the next few days that the kilns aren't going to be able to fire to temp, so that's fun.

They're all waiting...

Elon Musk is doing an incredible job at educating the American people on how rich people do not care about them and will ally themselves with fascists if it makes the number go up

I was digging through the archives and found these four images from at least fifteen years ago, shot in the winter as the sun was going down. With some cropping, I thought they would make an interesting composite. However, I wasn't really happy with the colour quality of these old images so, I starting playing around with the colourising filter and, this is what I came up with:)

Bruce knows Jason is dead. But when he sees a shockingly familiar looking figure in Crime Alley, one who made a comment implying he’s died before, he can’t help but hope. The boy doesn’t seem to entirely recognize him, but who’s to say having returned from the dead couldn’t have rattled his memories?

Danny is deeply torn. He’s been living on the streets of Gotham City ever since he ran away from Amity, and it sucks. He doesn’t want to exploit his powers for personal gain, but that was looking like it might be his only real option. Just using them to avoid conflict doesn’t put any food on his plate or get him any closer to a job.

Then this situation popped up, offering a vaguely-more-legal way forward. There’d be no way it could last, but it’s his first real chance at getting a proper meal and real bed to sleep in at night.

Except that in doing so, he’d be taking advantage of what is clearly a deeply grieving father. Even though the man is beyond rich (he may not be from Gotham but even he knows who Bruce Wayne is) and likely wouldn’t notice any monetary cost he spent on Danny, it’d be morally wrong to exploit his loss like that.

But Ancients if it isn’t tempting…

enough "it's bad writing to portray evil characters sympathetically" and more "i'm uncomfortable sympathizing with characters who do evil things"

discomfort does not warrant censorship, it warrants self reflection. it's good to be challenged by the art and media we consume. the world is messy. fiction should be, too.
