Al-Wakwak, or Al-Waq Waq, is an island of women mentioned in medieval Arabic literature. Located east of China, the island is ruled by a queen, and is so rich in gold that the women wear gold-woven tunics. Children grow on a tree, so men are not needed to reproduce. #MythologyMonday

while I mostly agree that the best viewing experience is not binge watching, I don't think that's true for The Pitt.

The peak viewing experience is back to back for as long as you can manage

the thing about Ireland is that it's extremely hard to register at a dentist but a brand new one just opened

"IM SO EXCITED TO BE HERE. THIS IS MY TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT." I said to the dental assistant, in a very normal way.

When people say NYE is always an anti-climax, they are clearly not referring to having dinner inside the Crystal Palace iguanodon, which is obvs the best thing ever
Well, if it’s 31 December, it’s... yes, of course: 172nd anniversary of the dinner Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, creator of the Crystal Palace dinosaurs, gave for 21 leading academics and other VIPs inside the Iguanodon
