Thank you! I have a variant of it with a woman taking a photo, and can never decide which I prefer!

I’ve never seen it used in that way here, but you can’t be too careful 😂

How Many Complaints About Trans Women Using Toilets? - TransLucent Data from local authorities representing over 16.5 million people reveals that complaints about trans women using toilets are virtually non-existent

Oh look it's an entirely invented panic, and being used to further marginalise and harm a tiny minority who just want to live.

A bleak and chilly scene of a flat landscape under a hard frost as a pale sun behind thin cloud gives the sky a brown tinge

“suspects” - “threats”
Two little boys, 8 and 11 yrs old

“Earlier today, IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, conducted suspicious activities on the ground, and approached IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them.”

My world is a much happier place without the former bird place.

White cliff is in distance. Sandy beach scattered with stones. Blue skies and clouds to the right.

Looking towards Flamborough Head last Sunday. Sunshine but rain incoming.
#TidesOutTuesday

A coastal view at low tide on a sunny November afternoon. At Mawbray Banks, Solway Coast National Landscape, Cumbria, England. Looking across the Solway Firth with the tide far out to Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland and the distinctive shape of Criffel Hill. In the foreground is a brown sandy beach with patterns in the sand from the movement of the tide. Behind this in the middle of the scene are some very shallow pools of water and rocks in different sizes and shapes. The beach appears to continue to the horizon. The sky is pale blue with a line of white clouds on the horizon above the land in the distance.

The tide is out, it looks as if you could walk across to Scotland

A large red sanded beach at low tide withe reflections of cliffs and the tiny bits of lighter sky on the sand.

Thou Shalt Not Murder Fishermen While Pardoning Drug Lords This is evil.

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

Until a few months ago I was doing weekly collections from a Lewisham food bank for someone who is disabled; one of the other people who was regularly in the queue was someone who brought the tools of his trade to collect food - an insulted Deliveroo box.

Waves and sea. Clouds and headland.

is like doing jigsaws with people all day never knowing when you're going to run out of your own pieces.

A fairly jagged series of rocks stretching out for 800 metres or so with (not visible) cliffs below them. They fall away sharply to the left to a valley floor with a road. Beyond is the sea and more distant cliffs. Yellow gorse in the foreground.

Exmoor National Park - Valley of the Rocks

The whole team looked exhausted from 60 minutes onwards. Other than centre midfield and using Canvot at the back, there is so little rotation so it is hardly surprising.

Teams come out at Selhurst Park

Edinburgh viewed from the top of a large hill just outside the city - the castle and cathedral are clearly visible. The foreground is the rough grass of the hill.

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.
