Farage’s plan to scrap indefinite leave could collapse the NHS… Which would be incredibly good news for someone wanting us to move to an ‘insurance based system’ FYI the average American pays £480 per month for private healthcare Please wake up folks.

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

What an amazing cover of a Beatles song… 😍

Another great REM song 😍

This is so creepy. I mean even creepier than Kash usually is. 🙀

Brilliant. Now every mother of an autistic child is going to say “I took paracetamol!” And every mother of a “neurotypical” or not yet diagnosed child - “I took paracetamol but I was lucky!” And we can all forget about awkward uncles or misfits from our youth, because there was no name for it then.

Not reading books causes people to say paracetamol causes autism 🙃

Sadiq Khan’s response to Farage’s deportation plan 👏

The subject of my postgraduate dissertation was: “Translation doesn’t exist - what a Translator does is Transcreation.” To clarify- translating something word for word really doesn’t work as meaning, nuance, register can be lost. Google translate will never replace me!

Not going away, Donald.

Historically, the word 'nest' consists of two parts. The part 'ne-' is related to 'nether', while '-st' is related to 'sit'. The distant ancestor of 'nest' meant "place to sit down". 'Nest' is also related to Spanish 'nido' and its Romance relatives. Click my new graphic to learn more:

It's been an amazing week of sharing stories, blasting through the taboo of talking about childlessness and showing the world that we are not invisible.

"World Childless Week is here to support those who have felt the heartbreak of knowing they will be childless for life. We are here for you through the year, we get louder in September " worldchildlessweek.net

East Berlin, Alexanderplatz, 9 September 1959. I post photographs taken on my many Berlin visits in the 1950s, 1960s. 180 historic street images of East and West Berlin are in my book "Berlin in the Cold War" (Amberley Publ.). #Berlin #DDR #GDR

🤣🤣🤣

At first I thought this was an Escher painting! 🤩

I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."
