A photo of a banana with a post-it note stuck on it that reads 'Pull in emergency' with an arrow pointing at the stem.

I found this on the bed beside me this morning in lieu of my partner – an 'emergency banana' in case I woke up before he got back from the gym and needed sustenance. Living with chronic illness sucks, but at least my partner has a sense of humour about it 😅

Congrats 🙌💜

As a Canadian living in the UK, I stopped booking flights home that went via US airports when Trump was first elected. I grew up less than 25km from the border, but haven't crossed it since 2015. Call me paranoid, but it always felt like this was the direction things were heading in...

This is so incredibly wholesome 🥹

Well this lefty thinks that new 4D-printed smart skin inspired by cephalopods is pretty neat and, to my knowledge, it's not destroying the planet *or* civilisation as we know it! (...yet) scitechdaily.com/a-new-smart-...
