Proud to announce that I am - in the words of @classicslatin.bsky.social - a "Shark Mama"!

There's an oceanic whitetip swimming around the ocean oblivious to the fact that I'm now their Mum. But I know they're my child! #bigsharkpledge #sharktrust

Thankyou for a fin-tastic Xmas pressie!

You made my night with your delight. Look at him though, ooh couldn’t

I accidentally updated the iPhone iOS last night, despite weeks of refusing to do so, and it’s amazing how tech tech companies manage to make their products worse with every improvement

A mummy portrait from #Roman Egypt, depicting a young woman/girl. She is shown wearing several pieces of jewellery, some of which is picked out in gold. We don't know when she lived or died - but it is still amazing to look into the eyes of a real person from the ancient world 🏺 AncientBlueSky

My little pup had w/e at vet. She ate naproxen. Drips, anti-dotes, 24hrs observation but she’s home now. All clear.

I can’t stop watching her sleep, just as I did my babies. Love her.

Anyway, apologies now this is why I’m tired and grumpy tomorrow. 🤦‍♀️

You’re so good! I love these and every time I try and do them I instantly forget everything I’ve ever read. I’m literally a prod reader. 🤷‍♀️ Nice to see you again. Is everyone else here yet? ❤️

Lucy's last day: What the iconic fossil reveals about our ancient ancestor's last hours Fifty years after a fossil skeleton of Australopithecus afarensis was unearthed in Ethiopia, we know so much more about how this iconic species lived and died.

Been pondering this one for a while. Think I have solved it. Rest of world defines juice as "the liquid obtained from or present in fruit or vegetables". Scottish people define juice as any soft drinks, fizzy or flat! So this Peach Fanta bought and drunk in Scotland does contain juice! 😄

Sure, I go to the library for books, but also sometimes I go just to exist in a space that's welcoming, organized, comfortable, judgement-free, and run by knowledgeable, helpful people, because that energy is straight up medicinal.

I think about this a lot as I'm panicking in my shower.

For you…

Also, squinge? LOVE IT.
