@stephenmcgann.uk Well... if this isn't the cutest thing I've read for a while...
"Mice seem to assist pregnant females when they get into difficulty giving birth, with experienced mothers being the most helpful. This is thought to be the first official sighting of such assistance in non-primates, and so expands our knowledge of caregiving behaviours across the animal kingdom."
Mouse 'midwives' help their pregnant companions give birth
Scientists have observed mice helping each other when they encounter difficulties during birth, prompting a rethink of caregiving among rodents and other animals

One of the manifold annoyances of #planespotting - when one of your favourite planes ( #Airbus A380) flies by your window and your attempts to view it are crushed by cloud.

Is Climate Change Denial / Free Speech Bullshit just a big extension of Consequences Denial?
Are those the two political viewpoints now? The Consequences Group and the Fuck It You Can’t Stop Me Don’t Tell Me What To Do Group?
So we’ve got er… grown ups… and babies, rather than left and right now?

@stephenmcgann.uk My mother just had to endure the sound of me shouting a rude word at Mrs Midgley. I blame my own tendency to get rather passionate in defending the midwives.
Hope May's story in 2 weeks' time is nothing but positive. No more officialdom doom and gloom, please! #callthemidwife
