I think it's because (1) it's something we can't physically see, so you can't truly assess whether or not that supplement you've been sold is impacting your microbiome and (2) it's something that we've been told we can actively control in an "easy" way (so if you're ill, it's your own fault)

First up - the time Why Aren’t You a Doctor Yet? did a live recording at the Royal Institution for Angela Saini’s book launch for Superior

wrong.

those needles are too precise and the yarn is being expertly moved.

my creation has more of a “oh god why did i even start this i could have just made a coaster” vibe going for it

that requires a little thing i like to call “competence”

i can do chunky squares (useless coasters) and chunky long squares (scarves)

it’s called “pull the yarn as tight as you can until you realise you cocked up”
