Adding alt text to this because this is fucking amazing and everyone deserves to read it.
Saved by Stoppard Sir, In 1993 my wife and I went to see the first production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (obituary, Dec 1), and in the interval I experienced a Damascene conversion. As a clinical scientist I was trying to understand the enigma of the behaviour of breast cancer, the assumption being that it grew in a linear trajectory spitting off metastases on its way. In the first act of Arcadia, Thomasina asks her tutor, Septimus: "If there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?" With that Stoppard explains chaos theory, which better explains the behaviour of breast cancer. At the point of diagnosis, the cancer must have already scattered cancer cells into the circulation that nest latent in distant organs. The consequence of that hypothesis was the birth of "adjuvant systemic chemotherapy", and rapidly we saw a striking fall of the curve that illustrated patients' survival. Stoppard never learnt how many lives he saved by writing Arcadia. Michael Baum Professor emeritus of surgery; visiting professor of medical humanities, UCL

Wide, wet and serious about this bath.

A brown bird with an orange breast is mid bath in a shallow stream. It faces the camera with an incredibly serious expression and has all its breast feathers puffed out so it looks enormous.

Little owl sketch in graphite and ink on moleskine
Drawing of a simplified little owl in pencil and a bit of ink on moleskine paper. The owl is looking to the viewer's left, head slightly tilted down, but eye looking forwards. The background is plain. Monotone warm tones.

"Every soldier is taught from week one of basic training that the Constitution outranks any individual. And they learn, early and often, that their duty includes refusing unlawful commands—even from senior officers, even from civilian officials."

Doodles for Hong Kong 🇭🇰

In response to the tragic Tai Po fire, I'm doing charity commissions. Anyone who puts over £25/250HKD into "Feeding Hong Kong" or Hong Kong SPCA can request a coloured doodle of any prehistoric animal 🙏

Hey, Kristi Noem's Norwegian "forefathers" didn't "build" the Lakota hunting grounds into [the very cosmopolitan] Sioux Falls and Pierre jusy so some deplorable **immigrants** could show up there & act like they owned the place.

One of my favorite pictures of me and Krissy, from three years ago. At the time I captioned it "When Hobbits get ambitious."
Krissy, on a pool lounger, looking down at me, smiling. I am nearly out of frame, making me look rather shorter than I really am.

Seth Moulton is right: if we still believe in justice, human dignity, and real American leadership, then we have to demand answers about what’s happening in the Caribbean and Venezuela. Accountability isn’t negotiable. No more secrecy. Expose the truth!
