Huge thank you to Caterpillar Lab for bringing many perfect babychildren for us to admire

Just got home to a roasting flat, the only ice in the freezer were a couple of massive 2 inch spheres, so I cheerfully dropped one into my pint of Ribena and splashed Ribena everywhere. Had to rinse my white top under the sink and have sat here in a wet blouse for an hour. But am a LOT cooler.

OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLOSE TO A DEAL WITH EURASIA

BREAKING: Indigenous white people commit riot and arson. Incompetent indigenous white police fire water cannon. Indigenous white politicians who fucked up our economy discuss "legitimate concerns" in lying newspapers owned by indigenous white tax evaders. Immigrants somehow remain the problem.

So we have full 2025 immigration stats - Total net down by 2/3rds in 2025 (3/4 from peak) - Small boat arrivals in 2026 down 40%. Asylum backlog down 48%; returns up 9% - Asylum seekers in hotels down 35% (down 48% from peak) YET PUBLIC PERCEPTION 49% think 2025 saw increase; only 16% know it fell

I have cleaned, reordered and filled in some gaps in my 30 year-old watercolours, and I am feeling SATISFIED. I now need to paint something…

This is excellent. Absolutely scandalous that GB News essentially has a licence to spread misinformation like this without OFCOM stepping in. www.thenewworld.co.uk/the-gb-news-...

It’s difficult to develop a strategy in the presence of an agent of chaos. Often the best that can be done is to react tactically to each new madness.

Wikipedia may have its critics, but it's a wonderful resource. If you have never contributed to Wikipedia, I encourage you to consider giving it a few bucks a year. It is worth supporting.

It wasn’t a Nobel Peace Prize that was gifted to Goebbels- it was a literature prize presumably

A not so talked about historical fact is Knut Hamsen novelist gave his peace medal away. Not familiar with the name? Perhaps the name of the man he he gave it to is better known… Dr Joseph Goebbels, in 1934… That certainly didn’t end well!!! History does repeat itself now and again.

#Taskmaster Champion of Champions has made me laugh so effing hard my husband *and dog* in the next room both had to check I wasn't having a coronary. But #wewuzrobbed Maisie Adams totally stole the show and is my new hero.

Argh. I'm trying really hard not to be a d!ck about The War Between the Land and the Sea, but I'd really really love it if Russell T Davies would learn just a *bit* of biology. #thewarbetween

I agree that the BBC should apologise to Trump for being misleading. Right after Trump apologises for the 30,573 false or misleading claims he made during his first presidency, or for each of his current daily average of 21 new lies per. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_o...

Ugh. Just walked past Robert Jenrick being interviewed near parliament saying “The country is divided” and “Mass migration has eroded the national identity.” If that’s true Robert, what exactly are you doing to help heal these divisions? Nothing. I suggest, in fact, that you are making things worse.

#Invertober2025 Day 30: Anoplognathus pallidicollis. Pencil. Verdict: Scarabaeoid if not Scarabaeid - nothing to improve upon, they’re brilliant. Fun to draw! I did start yesterday’s sea urchin but I felt my sanity on the verge of departing so to save everyone, I gave up. #Invertober #SciArt

Me leaving the house to socialise

#Invertober2025 Day 28: Chrysopa Perla. Watercolour. Verdict: lovely things will munch your aphids, wings a bit veiny but overall top-notch critter. #Invertober #SciArt

#Invertober2025 Day 27: Dermacentor variabilis. Pencil. Verdict: difficult to find the allure. Too many legs, not enough wings. #Invertober #SciArt

#Invertober2025 Day 26: Jorunna parva. Watercolour. Verdict: insufficient appendages and a very irritating un-erasable smudge at the last minute. #Invertober #SciArt

#Invertober2025 Day 25: Scutigera coleoptrata. Watercolour. Verdict: TOO MANY #Invertober #SciArt

#Invertober2025 day 24: Perna canaliculus. Pencil. Verdict: Surprisingly tiresome to draw despite total lack of appendages. #Invertober #SciArt

If i had any coding skill at all I'd try and make a version of Metazooa that pulled animal names from somewhere more comprehensive bc why on earth does it not have "okapi" ffs

#Invertober2025 Day 23: Cicindela albissima. Watercolour. Verdict: perfect creature, no notes. #Invertober #SciArt

#Invertober2025 Day 22: Clione limacina. PASTELS FOR GOODNESS SAKE. Verdict: if Eve from WALL-E were a marine invert this is the one she would be. Also haven’t used pastels since I was at school FOR VERY GOOD REASON. #Invertober #SciArt

Medlars very early this year - like all the fruit - but some already bletted on the tree when they’re usually all still rock-hard in November. Best haul I’ve had yet though. Now to work out what to do with them…

#Invertober2025 Day 21: Libellula saturata. Charcoal. Verdict: appendages excellent, antennae are a bit insubstantial. #Invertober #SciArt
