People of science! Is this long story-advert that came into my feed, snake-oil? Or is there any truth to the magic of castor oil and lymphatic drainage? (It was really long so I just cropped this bit). Also, should we be discussing scams more? I feel like the internet will have us back on leeches.
Where are all the air-conditioned places you guys are taking your kids? 👀❤️
“Mummy, is the original actor who did the voice of Micky Mouse still alive?” (This part of the job never gets any easier. I don’t know how the police do it)
Internship 👀 see below !
Captain Hurley 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️⚧️🇪🇺@zoonie.bsky.social · last mo.@catiewilkins.bsky.social there's a summer internship, paid, going at this lovely charity based in Bedford (plus an actual job if you know anyone relatively local). The internship is 80% home based - know of any parents of late teens/students reasonably locally?
Admiring the capybara craze from afar, fearful the backlash approaches.
Did a super fun multi-Schools zoom yesterday and one of the students asked: “Would you rather never write again, or never read again?” And it was fully the hardest question I’ve been asked in my whole life.
So incredibly thrilled to make the short list for the #Lollies2026 funny book awards for Ages 9-12. FUN FACT: (for all the FACT FANS) @katieabey.bsky.social has been a judge on the Lollies, but she was NOT ALLOWED to judge 9-12 Age category - for obvious reasons. Vive funny books for kids!
I am re-naming that Sandman show on Netflix “Goth Dr Who”
A day late with the picture quiz this week, we must be ring rusty! Can you identify 4 of the incomparable @catiewilkins.bsky.social ’s 5 Hellish tracks from these visual teasers? If you can’t all you need to do is listen to this week’s pod!
❤️❤️❤️

The Yeongno, is a Korean mythical creature known as a "celestial eater of the rich," this dragon-like monster seeks to consume 100 corrupt politicians, the wealthy, the powerful, etc in order to return to heaven. A cathartic symbol of social justice.
