Happy St David's Day😊
Today is St David’s Day: patron saint of Wales, of course, but also of vegetarians and poets. He was reputed to have helped introduce bees to Ireland. He is famously quoted as saying “Gwnewch y pethau bychain”, meaning “Do the little things”. Small changes and good choices matter, especially now.
Wishing everyone well - but particularly all Polar Bears - on International Polar Bear Day!
James Marion Sims, known as “the father of modern gynecology," achieved his breakthroughs by experimenting on Black girls and women, without anesthesia or meaningful consent.

This case is insane:
ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*
The young man they killed had no criminal history.
All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.
We don't know officers' names.
We don't have footage.

I sense a disturbance in the Sausage.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Thought for the day: ‘You never know when life might end and it’s not where you started but what you did along the way and where you ended up that matters. So pave the way for others with love joy and happiness always leaving a positive impact’ ❤️❤️

The Power of Poetry with things falling apart and anarchy let loose, it was only poetry, he found, which had any use, so he reached for his copy of The Complete Works of Yeats and bludgeoned the President of the United States Brian Bilston
Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

Two orange cats standing upright on a bed, with a framed photo of children on the wall in the background. A bright light through the window is reflected on the wall.

Another vertical format small watercolour. This one shows All Saints' Passage in Cambridge (1999). On the right you can see the sign for Ray's Barber Shop. Cambridge has always had wonky old lamps (some of them used then to still be gas lit)
