Matthew 19.

14 but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs."

I can’t find where Jesus put any restrictions on the types of children eg LGBQT+. Therefore all are welcome.

Note the citrus fruits - which are still zesty stars of winter cooking and eating all these hundreds of years later.

The largest dinosaur weighed around 85 tons.

Some male blue whales weigh as much as 200 tons.

A blue whale's heart is 6 feet wide and weighs 400 lbs.

The largest animal that ever lived.

With Humanity’s actions that may cause their extinction 🙁

Inside the mother of all Neolithic tombs ... Newgrange in Ireland. This photo, from excavator Michael O'Kelly's book, shows the chamber (with spiral carving) that is illuminated via the famous roofbox opening at winter solstice. A 5,200-yr-old celebration of the return of the sun. #TombTuesday

Yes, we have donkeys. Four years ago, we welcomed Edward, Muffin, Dolce and Nutmeg. It was a truly special day.

A beautuful thread about Rob Reiner.
I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

A stunning image of a monstrous stellar factory: the Tarantula Nebula, measuring nearly 1,000 light-years across.

It is thought to contain more than half a million times the mass of the Sun in gas, and it hosts some of the most massive stars known.

I was lucky enough to see this amazing medieval tiled pavement on a recent tour at Exeter Cathedral with the Devon Buildings Group.

Uncovered in the room above the chapel of St Andrew and St Catherine during work on the roof.
