Yeah, this.
Wincing at Michael Gove describing Kemi Badenoch as ‘feisty’ and ‘sassy’.
Do not use adjectives to describe a woman’s character which you would not use to describe a man’s. It sounds patronising and screams sexism. Urgh.

@dartmouthears.bsky.social scientists mapped the landscape beneath the Antarctic ice sheet by correcting satellite data based on the physics of glacial flow. They revealed high-relief alpine valleys, scoured lowlands, and deeply eroded ice stream troughs! 🧪

Excellent to see the Scottish Government increasing investment in Scottish Canals to ensure their canals remain a valuable resource for biodiversity, active living and tourism.
There's a lesson here for England and Wales.

Early stroll. That dropped sock is a foot long. Blue bins like geometric representations of summer sky. That parked car is usually facing the other way. Birdsong’s vivid aubade. If I name that ill-lit bus shelter as weird it becomes weird.
