It's one of only two zoos in the world that breeds the critically endangered Livingstone's fruit bat, which is a species I've previously contributed to conservation efforts for. Was lovely to be able to check in on them!

I just really like Bristol Zoo, innit. It's a nice area of relative calm in the middle of relative chaos. I love going for walks around at night and just hearing all the animals. And I really love being able to hang around with the bats! D:

Bristol Zoo Gardens, the oldest municipal zoo in the world, and one of the oldest zoos in the world in general, is being closed.

That news is... surprisingly hard for me.

I don't even know how, but for the last couple of days my brain has consistently mixed up the names of John Mulaney (comedian) and Tom DeLay (Republican House Majority Leader, 2003–2005) and C'MON BRAIN THEY'RE NOT EVEN SIMILAR.

I hope Peter wins. Mainly cuz he reminds me a lot of Andrew from series 7 and he only managed runner-up after doing so dang well.

While stalking it on FlightRadar24 I also noticed this Airbus from Cote d'Ivoire recently landed in Bristol. TU-TST. Seems like it's stopping off on its way to long-term storage (probably in a desert somewhere).

An RAF Chinook helicopter just flew real low over my house. This is normal.

DuckDuckGo is trending because people are switching to it en masse. 👍️

The people who are switching are doing so because they think Google is anti-male and suppressing pro-conservative search results. 🤮️

misgendering, transphobia 

A cis guy gets a small taste of the trans experience

Just like polls, audio tweets, and whatever mysterious gubbins they’ve since invented, don’t expect me to be using “fleets” because Twitter has locked third-party clients out of ever supporting them.

Apparently this map is mean and carved out a huge chunk of Virginia to represent the District of Columbia, which is why there was one left over. Such deceit.

I spent a bunch of time lately staring at presidential election maps so I figured I'd try and label every state from memory for funsies. How'd I do?

(I'm not American and have no formal education on US geography on this plz don't laugh.)

I finally did the thing.
I finally listened to 100 gecs.

AP and Reuters both called PA for Biden basically simultaneously. I’ll call that a done deal.

Biden wins.
