This is my new jumper. It has a back story. In June last year, my mother gave me a magazine she had saved for me because it included a knitting pattern she thought I’d like. She was in hospital at the time and we had a lovely chat about it. I told her I’d make it. 1/7

Not the first to say it, but there was something really lovely about the gang at Twitter. Good people. Will always be glad to have had the chance to work there (and to count them as a client more recently). 💙💙💙

When photographer Alison Pollack at these iridescent slime molds growing on a leaf, she sees nurturing humans, like a parent and child or a brother and sister. It's one of our favorite images from @NikonSmallWorld. sciencenews.org/article/niko…

I shared these images on TikTok and people are losing their minds insisting that it's a lie - it's wild how indoctrinated people are about abortion theguardian.com/world/2022/o…

What a pregnancy actually looks like before 10 weeks – in pictures

In 13 US states, abortion is banned even in the earliest stages of pregnancy. But we rarely see what such tissue really looks like
