Hello everyone on W. I'm comedy writer Steve B from Bluesky. I post funny stuff from other people, my own tat, and support outstanding investigative journalists. Also otters.

Varna Necropolis, Bulgaria (Варненски некропол) - the oldest gold treasure and jewellery in the world, dating from 4600 BC to 4200 BC. Intricate Thracian artefacts displayed on dark cloth, including solid gold bangles and intricate necklaces. The immaculate condition and level of craftsmanship is breathtaking. Could well be craftswomanship.
Bright yellow warning sign in the middle of an empty field that reads "CAUTION this sign has sharp edges. Do not touch the edges of this sign". And then in very small letters underneath, "Also, the bridge is out ahead".
A central character in 'The Morne Mystery' - a complete book-length novel by Lebbeus Mitchell. Or is it? Could it be Anna Zeiter, CEO of W Social? That's the mystery...
The W Social verified icon, found beside the name of W users. It's a dark blue box with a turquoise border. Within, a turquoise disembodied torso with a black face, next to an = (equals symbol) which, to me, makes the whole thing look a bit like an ID card. When you click on the icon, it brings up a box which says "You are a verified human - This account has been verified as belonging to a real person by trusted sources."
NASA FIRMS: Fire Email Alert: 25 fires/hotspots detected during the most recently processed satellite overpass (lat:47.60, lon:-128.40, lat:51.90, lon:-116.50) / View map image on NASA FIRMS server / NOTE: Cloud cover might obscure active fire detections. / This email was generated on 2026-07-21 19:49:03 UTC / NASA FIRMS Data Source: MODIS Collection 6.1 NRT.
NASA global real time email/text fire alert setup page (screen grab). The example here covers a box-drawn selected area (not shown) covering a large area of British Colombia, Canada including: Vancouver Island, inland across to Banff National Park and south over the border into northern Washington State in the US. I would recommend a smaller selected region focusing around your area of interest, otherwise you'll receive a lot of alerts in fire season. // The Canada BC selected area in the image above was not available when I tried to set it up. So I selected my own boxed area to cover instead which was accepted, although I didn't take a screen grab during the process. This is my first test of this resource, so I can't yet vouch for how well it works.
2013: UK Houses of Parliament, Westminster Palace. Upstairs, above the House of Commons, where MPs and Lords hold meetings of various important committees, and stuff about their own pay. The view shows a wide, elaborate corridor lined with dark glossy antique carved wooden panels, a plush carpet of dubious choice, a fine arched doorway at the end, and a distinct lack of security at that time. Hence these photos. 1 of 4.
The tiniest, cutest baby otter being gently held in caring hands. A caption above reads "Here is a small otter. He is so small he's probably still learning how to otter properly" - originally posted by In-Otter-News.
This is our serious sorting shit out vehicle to strike fear into all those who misbehave. It's a photograph of our dark green tiny three-wheeler police bubble car. Single wheel at the back. For extra intimidation. There's a blue flashy light thingy on the roof. And it says LANDESPOLIZEI in ominous friendly white letters on the side. And just POLIZEI on the front because it's not wide enough, but written the right way round so that drivers in front can't read it in their mirrors. How terrifying is that?
An otter - his name is Steve - is at a little red piano with his front paws on the keys playing the most byotterful music you ever heard. Steve's head is tilted towards us, his eyes gleaming ready to burst into full accompanying song... a one, two, a one, two, three, four...
Four images of the Reflecting Pool in the US capital looking slimy and a vile green colour. Also, a cute little furry duckling paddling in the filth.
