Happy 100th Birthday to David Attenborough! 🎉🎂

#Bristol is highly regarded for its BBC Natural History Unit and its long association with David Attenborough’s documentaries. So, with that in mind, here’s a tribute to one national treasure from a local treasure, Morph, complete with camera, safari suit and wildlife. 🦜🥰

Please don't do this!!

It’s all fun and games until you realize you just uploaded a high-resolution biometric map of your hand to a third-party server.

Unlike passwords, you can’t change your palm lines or fingerprints if they get leaked or used to train unauthorized authentication systems.

This means your unique physical traits could become key to biometric spoofing. Someone might use them to bypass lock screens, approve fraudulent payments, or break into places that use hand-geometry scanners.

Your biometric data is what you’re really giving up.

@London_W4 That is indeed a Look. A bloody gorgeous one!

[Helen G @contrarywitch]

@rosamimosamoya Wow! I love the result. The colour is gorgeous and the contrast is really cool, makes it look designer-y. What skirt was it?

This cutie character has escaped from a Ghibli film, hasn’t it? 😍

Denby is the pottery equivalent of the Vimes Boot Theory in practice.

Can’t believe this company, which has been going since 1809, is under threat. 😢 It’ll be a real shame if it disappears #SaveDenby

If Denby doesn’t survive, I don’t know where to go for replacements. I’ve seen many similar things but nothing to match the combo of Denby style + sturdiness. Guess I’ll end up with cheap copies 😕 #SaveDenby

To all the mama sheep looking after their little lambkins (even when they are big) #HappyMothersDay

[peaklass @peaklass1]

Here's to all the hardworking mums out there! To the classic mums, the step-mums, the like-a-mums, the pet mums, and even the sheep mums, who hold it all together even when they just KNOW that the little ones are plotting dastardly deeds. Have a wonderful day today!

Happy Mothering Sunday! #mums

Am convinced this is actually a portal for tiny wee fairies...don't look too long, who knows what will come out!

The beauty we walk past or trip over. This beautiful knurled ‘growth’ on the ground. Part of the tree’s roots, surrounded by fallen leaves and bright green moss. It would have been easy to miss; but as I bent down to look at it today, I thought it was beautiful.

“Go a-mothering and find violets in the lane” is an old saying tied to the custom of gathering violets for Mothering Sunday, #MothersDay in the UK, kept on the fourth Sunday of Lent, three weeks before Easter.

To celebrate mothers everywhere, violets painted by Anne Cotterill. 💜
