Imagine you live in the UK, where the 2nd half of Little Women was published as a seperate book called Good Wives

You pick up an old copy of 'Little Women', finish it, everyone's reunited, Beth recovers, Meg is engaged and you think that's the end of the story

Then you watch the film... 🙃

If you're interested in energy/climate you've probably heard the nugget that "kerosene/crude oil helped save the whales", by reducing demand for whale oil in lanterns.

I often see it said "animals don't have the same capacity for emotion, so they don't really 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 pain"

Second, even if many don't have the same experience of pain we do, emotion isn't relevant to defining pain in animals

Graphic design is my passion

Being a bit personal, the ol mental health took a nosedive the last few days, and with everything going on in the world catalysing things, I really needed some reinforcement

Thank you to everyone on this app, Star Trek community in particular, for just being your lovely hopeful selves
