Milkshake the duck & Dumplin the miniature cow are inseparable best friends, in Louisiana. Milkshake refuses to swim in the farmyard pond unless Dumplin is in the water with her, often waiting for her cow companion before taking a dip.

My favourite grasshopper fact: Grasshoppers first appeared on the planet 250 million years ago.

Grass did not appear on the planet until 40 million years ago

Imagine it: 210 million years, hopping around on any random surface you can find, waiting for the grass that will make you truly yourself.

The rest of us are also alarmed, less quietly….

Yep, it’s a euphemism, borne of stigma. We don’t refer to someone who has just had a heart attack as having “cardiac health”…

“when compassion appears only when it suits our alliances, our politics or our convenience, it stops being compassion at all.It becomes theatre.” 🎯 😕

No words, really 😒

Yes, quite weird - less cruel than fetishising horses going round and round though, which the country grinds to a halt for every spring …

So true, never see a nurse or physio in heels at work! 😁

I think it’s time we redefine for ourselves what is acceptable office workwear for women - beyond feeling like we’re in drag (drab suits) or uncomfortable in high heels. More power to those women who genuinely prefer those options. Personally I’ve decided that colourful sneakers are totally fine 😄

Definitely did when I was younger! I was quite tall quite young, looked older than I was, and experienced a lot of unwanted attention …

The way my height has affected me is I’ve always been the one being asked to help others lift things down from the top shelf in supermarkets 😁 … oh and finding pants that don’t resemble ankle-freezers on me

I love this so much 🥰 watching the bat “fly” while being held by his carer is priceless

This Heron was humming to itself, Joni Mitchell's song 🎶

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Really these things should be acknowledged every day of the year, through meaningful action not tokenistic statements …. The idea of one day of the year to make us girls all feel a bit special has always felt a bit patronising to me but maybe I’m just being difficult 😉
