Just look at those massive weasels!

'The day marked several firsts: the project’s first otter release, the first time otters had lived in the wild in Argentina in decades and “the first worldwide comeback of this species in a habitat where it had been rendered extinct,” Tompkins Conservation said.'

I am not a GP.

I would even consider myself a poor substitute for a GP.

General Practice and Emergency Medicine are both specialisms that deal with the gamut of human disease, but at wildly different acuities.

Nothing can replace a properly funded and staffed Primary Care service.

Nothing.

Please know that you are loved devotedly and profoundly, imagine this squirrel offering you this nut as a symbol of the love that already exists for you, whether or not you're feeling it right now.

"As a knight," the king said, "it is your duty to kill dragons."

"Very well, my liege," the knight said. "Um. May I ask why?"

"Because they hoard wealth without sharing, and people live in fear of their capricious moods."

"Very well, my liege," the knight said and drew his sword.

When I asked how the night went you gave the tiniest of shrugs.

You: “I’m making it.”
Me: “What does that mean?”
You: *shrugs again*

You turned in bed a bit and I saw you grimace. It was fleeting but I saw it.

You were not okay.

A PhD student at CambridgeHPS has been putting “artwork signs” up all around our department next to “ordinary things” and they are brilliant. They unfailingly make me stop and smile and notice the wonderful strangeness of the world ✨

Best workplace spirit-lift hack I’ve seen in a long time 🙌

Lovely to hear people having a wonderful time watching Wicked at the cinema. It made me think of my favourite ever movie-watching experience

It’s a long, cheerful story, so I’ll have to do it over several posts… And, if you’re wondering if this thread is for you, it involves The Lego Movie 😁

I call this the "Fairy Tree" because it grows in Fairy Lake, here on Vancouver Island. It has been photographed by thousands of people, this is my version from 2016. On my second trip I went out in a kayak to touch the tree...

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.
