Anyone in Yorks/Lincs/Notts/Derbyshire can see York Groundsel (and this stuttering groundsel enthusiast) making its TV debut on Look North at 6pm this evening. Interesting filming with the BBC today and seeing how they stitch together a jigsaw of shots to make a film.

I've been quiet on here lately, but I do miss the old days of the birdsite. Hopefully something of the science and nature community on here can survive (without all of the hellsite hell), but if not, thanks, it's been great! I'll keep an eye out for you all on the rest of the net

[Alexandra Burkitt @A_Burkitt]

It's all looking a bit interesting at the moment, isn't it? I'm joining the bandwaggon and giving mastodon a try;

do we have time for one last game? for your consideration, I present Last Days of Rome, a one page RPG about living in a doomed city with an emperor who is determined to burn it all down with everyone inside
