For the last few days of 2024 I'm going to share some of my favourite snaps of the year. Instead of doing a standard Top 10 or whatever, I'm gonna choose a single photo as a favourite from each month. Here's May, a portrait of the charming @briggsalexa.bsky.social shot on Phoenix 200 35mm film.

Giving a kidney to a stranger? Researchers call it 'extraordinary altruism'
Only about 300 to 400 people a year give a kidney to someone they never met. It's an act of generosity so unusual, a neuroscientist studies the people who do this.
