I forget I have ADHD until moments like just now where I stepped onto a bus and the driver was playing ‘This Love’ by Maroon 5 full pelt on his phone. Threw me so much that I just stood there blank-headed, looking at the poor bus man like a 90s Furby ready to instil fear into an unsuspecting child
A photo of a purple shoulder bag with Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh printed on it. It also has a little stuffed toy Eeyore keyring attached to it. It’s a gorgeous bag which I spent many a time looking at in the 2000s Argos catalogues.
For World Book Day this year, I will be dressing up as one of my favourite characters from the 2000s Argos catalogues - Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh shoulder bag collection.

Image of the radio details on top of a photo of the seaside, somewhere between Llanelli and Swansea I believe.

I’m just a big fan of the ‘Fidel Castro and dairy’ Wikipedia page - that man was so interested in upgrading the human/ cow experience

Fidel Castro would’ve loved this post.
Me versus Cupid and any blooming cherubs this Valentine’s Day:
I wish I could communicate with spiders and tell them that whilst I’d prefer they didn’t hang out on my bed or on me, the attic is all theirs. Truly, they could build a spider Pizza Hut up there if they wanted. Have massive spider orgies or do spider Hyrox competitions for all I bloody care.

A photo from London Euston station showing a little cubbyhole under the stairs. It’s got barriers on the side where people walk past, making it feel like a lovely safe pen.
I love this cubbyhole at Euston so much. Whilst everyone else at the station’s banging about like fleas in a tin can, I’m tucked away safely like a car in a parking spot.
My favourite way of saying “we’re on it” or “we’ll take care of that for you” is the Dutch we zullen dat varkentje wel even wassen. It means “we will certainly get that piglet washed.”

A little armored one / turtle rabbit in the wild
The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”
A middle aged man helplessly holds an alligator’s tail as it steals his hat
In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊
Cover page of UK Government document titled "Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security: A national security assessment." Features the HM Government crest and an abstract design of overlapping coloured circles in pink, orange, green, blue and muted tones. Marked "UK OFFICIAL".
The UK Government just released its national security assessment on #biodiversity loss: an actual intelligence assessment using the same frameworks as military threat analysis. The conclusion? #Nature is a foundation of national security and every critical #ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse. 🧵
This week, Govt quietly published a 'Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security assessment' after an FOI forced their hand.
It is a deeply concerning read for anyone who cares about our future.

What appears to be a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field is actually a normal sized praying mantis that's actually sitting on my windshield
Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.
