Sigh, every time I see a Stevenson Screen I am reminded how much I want one 🤩
Check this out! Meteorologists measure air temperature in the centre of large ventilated, white screens at 1.5m above ground. If your garden thermometer was hanging on a fence (even in the shade) it will not be purely an air temp. Everything gives off heat like mad… #heatwave

If this tweet freaks you out, read the thread
Your regular reminder that if you see someone stealing baby formula, nappies, bread, milk, pasta, ready meals, you didn’t see a fucking thing mind your own business and thank god you’re not so desperate for your own or your babies survival that you’d risk a criminal charge for it

Headlines like this are unhelpful 🙅♂️
Ridiculing construction workers for talking about their feelings only serves to further stigmatise mental health and self-care in an industry where people are three times more likely to take their own lives. (1/4)

I genuinely do not think a lot of cis het men fully understand the power that them simply telling their friends ‘hey, that behaviour is not ok’ can wield.

Seeing a lot of goths about again, which is bad news.
Goths are the harbinger of recession whether its the 2008 recession, the 1980s recession or 5th century Rome and the collapse of the empire.
They may not be the cause but they are the warning we should heed

Think I need a bit of Keanu. Here it is in case you do too
Before he was a Hollywood actor, KEANU REEVES worked for CBC and did a news report on a Teddy Bear convention in 1984.

I carried & raised, not one, but two #rape babies. I was forced to marry my #rapist @ 13-yr-old. Pregnant again @ 14. When I escaped the marriage @ 16 & w/ two toddlers in tow, the state refused to help us. Shelters turned us away. How is this humane? #ReproductiveRights #poverty

Well, looks like I'm going to be popping over to Wells again & adding a trip in here too.
I wouldn't usually go in somewhere like this due to the pandemic (just get some fish & chips and stay outside) but this means I'll be able to have a browse too

Last year David sent me this. Probably the last time he drew Mr Benn.
A few days before he died, his son drove him down the coast road in Nice, past the great hotels & beaches. It was indeed Mr Benn's last adventure...
