These tiny hydrological engineers create homes for wildlife, + porous banks that help slow the flow, reducing flood + drought risk.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

A good friend who was out before most of us tells me that R*pe Crisis Centres in the UK were accepting trans women victims in the 1990s.
They made a conscious decision to do so. So why have transphobes only started making a fuss over a quarter of a century later…?

Now, we get to the promotional outfit of the #PalaisGalliera's Worth: The Inventor of Haute Couture exhibit- this 1896-7 tea gown for Countess Greffulhe. It is an interesting choice, and I'm not quite sure of the logic behind it, with all the other glamorous outfits in this

A 13thC gathering of the Apostles at St John the Baptist, Cold Overton.
It's suggested it depicts them gathering at the death of the Virgin and if correct then it's a rare survival.
Only fragments survive but it's not quite as 'poor quality' as Pevsner suggests.
