It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

Sunrise song. You'll want the volume up for this one, but not too high. Every coyote within a half kilometre radius decided to make themselves known this morning while I was enjoying the sunrise from the kayak. A truly magical moment. #mammals 🌿

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.” Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it. Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.

Neoliberals want to end the triple-lock on state pension They inflict low wages, consign millions to poverty. Govt spending on state pension as % of GDP in G7 countries. Italy 12.8 France 12 Germany 9.8 Japan 8.9 USA 6.6 Canada 4.7 UK 4.7 UK has one of the least generous pensions in the G7.

Over the last few months these guys made me proud to be British: kind, practical, profoundly moral, a testament to this island. Now they're targeted by the very worst of us. I just gave them a bunch of money. You should too. Show those fascist clowns what's what. rnli.org/support-us/g...

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis.

Brace yourselves. I have found the most annoying thing on the Internet. Behold: fridge styling. Frankly I think we might as well let our AI overlords finish us off.

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible

He's worked out how to use it now, too - well, sort of!!

One more time: Inheritance tax *is not unique or even uncommon* in being "double taxation". The coffee I just bought was paid for with wages on which income tax and NI had been levied, but was also subject to VAT. Just stop it.

My 4th ever quilt! Self drafted pattern made up of 9 patches and friendship stars, rn she’s 72x96”, fit for a twin! Time to baste, quilt and bind, hopefully before Saturday and the county fair deadline!

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

In Danish folklore, Hyldemoer, the Eldermother, lived in or beneath the elder tree and avenged harm done to it. Elderwood was best avoided in buildings or furniture, for those who used the forbidden wood risked being plagued by mysterious hands pulling their legs! #FolkloreSunday
