I'm sure it's a long shot, but if anyone in the Watford area found a grey M&S tote bag containing two aqua blue to pale peach gradient yarn cakes, a partly completed shawl, and a pink and white crochet hook in the last two weeks please get in touch. I left it on the 322 around 9AM on October 27th

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

I am autistic and here's my view on Musk's weird arm gestures:
Nazi salutes.
You people defending Elon as "being weird because he's on the spectrum" need to realise that being on said spectrum also include... 1/2

I have no phone, it's completely dead
I dropped it one too many times
I don't know if I'll survive until the new one arrives (hopefully tomorrow but it's at the mercy of the Royal Mail)
I'm being dramatic, I do have WhatsApp on my laptop
