At a Japanese aquarium, these baby otters have an end-of-day routine: clean up the toys with grandpa, then collect their well-earned ice cube reward.

All children should have a full hour of choral singing Monday to Friday in primary and secondary schools. It helps improve breathing and definitely makes people feel a part of a community.

Your very existence is vital to the Universe. All that you see could not exist without you! Pretty special, aren’t you?

In the words of Tom Cox, “I know I buy far too many books but I like to think that lining my house with them wards off evil in some deeply important way.”

English and Latin have a hidden connection that no one notices.
If a word begins with ‘f’ in English, it begins with ‘p’ in Latin.
Take the word “father.” The Latin for father is “pater” — with a ‘p.’
And that’s just the beginning.
It’s crazy, but here’s how it works… 🧵

The British Museum relies on moisture from visitors’ breath to increase humidity and stop their wood and bone artefacts from cracking. During the Covid lockdowns, some items had to be moved to climate-controlled storage.

Primary school teacher. Also have a side-gig as Santa in the Christmas holidays. My favourite children who visit the Grotto are deaf kids. Because the surprise & joy in their faces when they see Santa knows sign language too makes both the kid's & their family's Christmas better.

I firmly believe that time spent reading books should not be subtracted from your lifespan. You should be able to step aside into Book Time, spend as long there as you like, then resume Ordinary Life Time at the same point you left. Clearly a superior arrangement.

The fact that homelessness has to be managed & funded by charities is absolutely criminal. Homeless people are still citizens & still have the same rights as the rest of us. The government should be managing & helping & homing them, just like they do in Scandinavia.

As we enter the final few hours of #DisabilityPrideMonth I wanted to leave this really important subject to the end. One that doesn't get spoken about enough when young disabled adults are growing up - fertility and specifically in males with spinal cord disabilities. 1/6
