This was a VERY enjoyable work day. Beautiful & delicious Pevensey Blue cheese, made by Hazel & Martin Tkalez, from milk from Court Lodge Organics. All part of the collaborative Farm Cluster where local farmers work together for nature

Here: Streeting and Labour invest £10 million into manufacturing the “evidence” they need to legitimise their cruelty towards Trans+ youth
Elsewhere, in the real world: Scientists - yet again - prove that access to Trans healthcare, including HRT, dramatically benefits Trans+ young people

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Transgender care saves lives.

A good thing about the napkin holder is it lets you take out your preferred number of napkins so long as you want either 800 napkins or a 3cm shard of one napkin.

Very nice write-up, @unchcrosswords.com!
With The Times and Sunday Times and our competitors each producing several crosswords a day, you might think there was enough grid-based wordplay to satisfy even the most hardened addicts. So who would launch a specialist crossword magazine into this crowded market — and a printed one at that?
