Some say that Ukraine should be grateful for everything.
The truth is exactly the opposite. The rest of us should be grateful to Ukraine.

Little My, character in the Moomin books by Tove Jansson first appeared in 1950. She is small, determined, mischievous & fiercely independent, & based on the author herself in a kind of characteristic self-portrait #WomensArt

So hard. Have a nap day if you can x

Greetings from Kyiv and
a rare moment when lights are shining from everywhere.
As it should be.
Generators are resting.

Friday evening.

Sometimes I can’t even imagine how different our lives are – yours and mine.
Perhaps I’ve already forgotten.

Just ordered a book from my local Waterstones. Click and collect so I’ll get it on way home tonight. As cheap as Amazon. Also bought an instant camera earlier this week from Argos, cheaper than on Amazon. It’s proving very easy not to use the evil billionaire’s website. More of you should try it.

Feb 17, not sure where it will be visible

A humorous illustration titled "How Time Works" by Becky Barnicoat. The image depicts time as a roller coaster track with months labeled along the curve. The "You" is positioned at the start of the ride, near the bottom of the first steep drop, representing the experience of time speeding up as the year progresses.

This feels true...

A vibrant, composite portrait of the brilliant Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977–2017), the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal. She is shown in a close-up head-and-shoulders view, facing the camera with a gentle, thoughtful expression—short brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a calm smile. She wears a navy blue fleece over a teal/green collared shirt. Overlaid transparently behind and around her is a dense blackboard filled with intricate handwritten mathematical equations in white chalk, featuring complex expressions involving binomial coefficients (e.g., n! / (k!(n-k)!)), factorials, summations, powers, and terms suggestive of hypergeometric series or combinatorial identities. The equations partially surround and frame her face, symbolizing her deep immersion in advanced mathematics, particularly in hyperbolic geometry, Teichmüller theory, and dynamical systems, while evoking the creative, exploratory nature of her work as a Stanford professor and groundbreaking researcher.

Remembering Dr. Maryam Mirzakhani on #WorldCancerDay.

Dr. Mirzakhani was first woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in #mathematics. She died in 2017 from #breastcancer at the age of 40.

Oooh I dont really read scary books or watch scary films but this sounds interesting...

I hate curly kale and nothing will persuade me otherwise. Bleugh!

I loved this story too, such strength, such courage, such love for his mum and sibs and such good fortune to make it to shore.

Words fail me. Stay safe, find a way to stay warm. Thinking of you and everyone x

My veg garden is also in year two of long covid rewilding, sadly there is nobody to take it over. I wish I'd moved tools and clutter out before it was effectively abandoned after the last time I cut back the raspberry canes - I had no idea disability was calling my name.

You dont win 'em all! Reform's Matt Goodwin in Sunday Times: 'Most .. people criticising me are nerds.The last thing I want is to be at some dinner party table with Nick Robinson & Mary Beard. I'd rather shoot myself in the head'. Hang on, I'm not THAT bad!Nerds sometimes have a (thoughtful!) point.
