Someone crocheted me a pangolin! Time, you thief, who love to get Sweets into your list, put that in! Say I’m weary, say I’m sad, Say that health and wealth have miss’d me, Say I’m growing old, but add, Someone crocheted me a pangolin!

Of course, this overlooks the fact that it's actually cheaper again in many bookshops that actually pay taxes and don't have workplace practices that Egyptian pharaohs would describe as 'a bit much' hive.co.uk/Product/Dean-B

Amazon, for reasons known only to themselves/their algorithms, have decided to sell Emotional Ignorance at 15% off. amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/178335 Why? No idea. But you might as well buy it before they realise it's actually worth triple that in terms of quality #Books #Emotions

I'm very pleased with these pictures of a moss spore capsule - you can even see a few spores ☺️#moss

A moss spore capsule. The capsule is reddish brown, with thick yellow hairs partially blocking the exit.

My youth pastor used to tell this story about his early work. He was leading a summer camp service, and asked the kids if they knew who had a ringed tail, dextrous hands and a little mask. One tot piped up, "It sounds like a raccoon but I know it must be Jesus."

Oldest was complaining about the way their school is so predictable: it’s gay history month so…it’s Alan Turing Month (both children are big Turing fans —it’s the frustration that he is now clearly seen as acceptable face of gay history)… It’s like gay zombie Marie Curie

Representation in clinical trials is very important. Because of previous medical racism, lack of trust, bad healthcare experience, poor access et al, Global Majority people are wary of participating. Conversations/strategies must continue to gain trust. Needs diverse leadership 2

Oh shit...it might be one of ours actually...

A picture of the alleged 'Chinese spy balloon' currently menacing America: a white, spherical envelope with some unidentified black machinery hanging from it, against a deep blue sky. I have crudely sketched two eyes and a little circular mouth on it, making it look like a slightly worried small robot.

I’ve shared before that my mother died when I was 19. She was only 47 and had acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a blood cancer. I found out after she died that clinical trials for AML treatments enroll very few Black patients.
