If anyone’s seen me recently they know I’ve been hobbling on crutches and was told I’d torn ligaments in my thigh. After it getting MUCH worse, a private MRI showed I have broken femur in my hip socket… great! Very lucky it’s not broken off clean but it’s not far off, so 3 months of rest for me πŸͺ¦

I do wonder why Labour are focusing on disability benefits when it’s known that less than 1% are fraudulent. They could save a fortune by making the application process more efficient. Paper forms, posting proof? Are they keeping this to put even more barriers in place for disabled folk?

Squinting at the charts on disability benefits this week it was hard to believe the scale of the numbers. Polly Toynbee dives into the circumstances of one family to make them real

Do you know about "wool science"? Did you know that it originated in Yorkshire, which was then a thriving part of the global textile trade? Listen to Monica Stenzel discuss this with @kingtekkers.bsky.social in episode 6 of The Science of 1875 open.spotify.com/episode/2Zc1...

Graphic for International Women’s Day is divided into two halves. On the left, a white background features a simple line drawing of a rose with the text "FLOWERS ARE NICE" in purple uppercase letters. On the right, a purple background displays a bold white and yellow feminist symbol with the text "EQUAL RIGHTS ARE BETTER" in uppercase, with "EQUAL" highlighted in yellow. The European Commission logo is in the bottom right corner.

How on earth is anyone managing to get Sabbath tickets? I’ve tried 2 presale and general sale today. Each time ticketmaster has asked me to authenticate my account (despite already doing this every time I’ve logged in) and then not let me in the queue! Fewmin

Things I love about Severance (the series):
-The Thom Yorke-esque piano theme song.
- the use of analogue tech like old tv’s (the type which would be wheeled into the classroom at school)
- the corporate dystopian hell we are shown as a distant concept, that we know we are already living in…

There are 3 more words before β€˜science and engineering’ you just can’t see. Β£3 bargain, I wanted some of the diagrams!

I often just fold the pages slightly at the top instead of use a book mark, so thank you β€˜the book shop’ πŸ“•!
