@ferrous @cassolotl for me it's got a bit of "ee" flavour (as in "bee" only very short)

Hey, you! Do you want to open a door for a fish?

Utrecht has a river where fish swim upstream to spawn, but they have to keep the boat locks closed, which blocks the fishes.

So they set up a live stream + doorbell system. Join the live stream, watch the underwater camera, and ring the doorbell if you see a fish!

🐁 *holding ice against crotch* Dad, how come girl's bikes don't have the bollock-mashing bar
🐺 no need for it lad, they've got nae bollocks
🐁
🐺 not much point putting a bollock masher if there's nae bollocks to mash is there
🐺 be a bloody waste of money

2020's
πŸ€ *holding ice against crotch* Dad, why
🐁 You know, I asked my dad this when I was your age, and his answer doesn't really fit in this decade. You probably know a couple of girls with bollocks. Maybe a boy with no bollocks. Either way, girls with bollocks get to ride the bikes without the bollock-mashing bar, and boys with no bollocks can ride the bollock masher, in a lot of ways it's a more enlightened time
πŸ€ Dad what
🐁 I mean these days girls can ride the bollock mashing bikes too
🐁 So can non-binary folk, bollocks or no
πŸ€ dad
🐁 Anyway times change is what I'm saying
🐁 The important thing is squashing the bollocks

Organic cotton tote bags with either abstracted designs by me, or watercolour birds (with or without text) are available at my online store, kaminenmosher.com/store along with mugs and t-shirts.

These tote bags are sturdy and useful, as well as artsy. My cats have inspected them too (my samples, not the whole supply chain) and pronounced them good for feline naps.

@dan Why do you have a litter box that's wired to alert you when it's used?

@ergative it's hilarious that the fish doorbell people call Utrecht "a small Dutch city" -- I wouldn't call it small, it's the 4th largest city in NL with about 370K inhabitants!

@quidcumque @halla Extremely weird; it makes Western Palm Sunday fall so relatively early that I had to dig up the troparion for the children's procession in a book I otherwise wouldn't look at for weeks yet, and the Annunciation fall on the Monday right after that Sunday instead of being a bright feast in the middle of Lent.
