Had an amazing vegan birthday lunch today at Mallow in Canary Wharf. Big fan of Mildred's, so this place has been on our list to try for a while. Didn't disappoint. I had a vegan burger and fries, my partner had a thalli, daughter had French toast, and we shared dumplings, kimchi and home fries.

Today was all about making olive leaf extract. This should last a while, although a fair bit of it will be given away.

I've been watching this surge ahead all afternoon, and it's been most satisfying. Sometimes it's not about achieving some end result, it's about sending a message. I really hope this goes on to break some records.

Petition: Call an immediate general election
The Prime Minister should call an immediate general election to allow the British public to have their say on how we are governed, we should not be made to wait until January 2025

Is anyone really surprised? When a government leads with hate, then this is inevitable.
Trans hate crime rises 11% in past year in England and Wales
However, the total number of hate crimes has fallen in the past 12 months in England and Wales.

I feel like the single best practical example of the failure of markets is that we don't develop new antibiotics because their best use is very limited, which means they won't be profitable. So everybody loses. By choice.

More archeological evidence that trans people have existed for thousands of years, this time from Anglo-Saxon burial sites in England.
The burials that could challenge historians' ideas about Anglo-Saxon gender
Skeletons found with items that don’t align with their estimated sex are usually excluded from research – but that assumes a 19th century view of gender.
