@setoacnna The mental gymnastics of this.. reminds me of a right wing conspiracy theory that "the elite" use male gendered drag queens who are 'secretly' afab and transitioned to men in order to 'trick' everyone into being gay 😂

@Paula_Bowles I set up artboards in Illustrator or Photoshop as 1080x1080px squares flush next to each other and then place the image across those, then export individual artboards as pngs. Not sure if there's a better way, but that's how I do it :)

Please don't cut back ivy if tidying your garden! At this time of year in the UK, its flowers are a great late season pit-stop for struggling pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies and moths. Then the berries will feed hungry birds in winter 🐝🌿

If you are a member of the National Trust, please take a moment to do this and help prevent a tory hate group commandeering another national asset as part of their 'antiwoke' agenda. Info in this thread here

They want to shut down and harass women using these legal services.

Though they can look very similar, here are some quick tips to check.

But always always always cross check with different sources, websites and books. If not 110% sure ask an expert or just don't eat it

Seeing 100s of these guys popping up at the moment. Worryingly also seeing people sharing pics of them online saying they've found 'chanterelles'.

‼️These are false chanterelles and can make you really ill‼️

Found a great example of the gross but fascinating stinkhorn fungi. Its spores are spread by flies with its sticky stinky ooze.

The Victorians were said to be so embarrassed by this fungi that they would attack them with cudgels lest any impressionable young ladies see them 👀

@CatFinnie It really is :(
