Stellar political leader, rubbish plasterer, apparently.

In years gone by I felt no need to add the following picture to my lessons on the inheritance of sex, but here we are I guess.

Jesus College is home to a remarkable collection of medieval and early modern manuscripts, and early printed books. We spotted this delightful marginalia in our Shakespeare Second Folio, doodled perhaps by a love-sick student many moons ago…

Ancient global warming was amplified by widespread forest fires and soil erosion 56 million years ago the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a period of rapid global warming, occurred. Within the span of a couple of millennia, temperatures rose by 5 degrees, triggered by a huge release of carbon. Due to its likeness to present-day warming, the PETM is often used to test the long-term environmental response to large-scale perturbations, making it a very scientifically valuable climatic event to study.

New research shows that global warming during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum was amplified by widespread forest fires and soil erosion, which occurred within as little as a few centuries after a huge amount of carbon dioxide entered the atmosphere πŸ”₯

Fixing Broken Things Standing Up For What Matters In Gorton & Denton

38 years ago today, Ian McKellen of Burnley, Lancashire spoke vs. Thatcher’s homophobic Clause 28 to 20k Mancunians. Now Reform carry the banner of homophobia. Sir Ian & his fellow Attitude 101 LGBTQ+ trailblazer, Green leader Zack Polanski, will stop them. open.substack.com/pub/lewiscal...

They have normalised austerity and hardship - so we accept it as normal.

It isn’t.

The sixth largest economy in the world, and record food banks.

Something is dreadfully, dreadfully wrong with that picture.

Well done lads. You've successfully invented a ski race that incorporates the absolute worst thing about skiing - carrying your skis up a flight of stairs. Brilliant #olympics
