My mum was homeless growing up, and the knock-on effects were lifelong. This is a completely horrendous statistic.

Lewis Goodall @lewisgoodall.com · 2h

New figures from Shelter show that the number of children homeless or in temporary accommodation in England has reached its highest level since records began.

172,420 kids without a permanent home of their own- an 8% increase in a single year.

A profound rethinking of the history of #biodiversity.

"In new view, plants did not colonize a barren wasteland, but rather world prepared for them over eons by the ancient and persistent activity of the fungal kingdom."

Earth Was a Fungal World Before Plants Existed

Fungi arose long before plants, shaping Earth with early soils and nutrient cycles. Their hidden legacy shows they may have prepared the world for life to flourish on land.

Went to have my blood pressure checked this morning, and came out with a bonus flu jab.

Arm is really starting to hurt now.

It does look gorgeous in that colour. Probably my favourite colour choice of yours so far for me.

Frankenstein: Why Mary Shelley's 200-year-old horror story is so misunderstood

As a new film starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi is released, why is the message of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel still overshadowed by its success, more than two centuries on?

I deliberately chose to do a rubbish city and guilds to avoid doing English lit GCSE. I doubt I would have passed an eng language level. I have a science degree. It was easier for me than English.
