Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.

People might not know that if you're experiencing abuse you can speak to your doctor, or if you're a person of faith, a trusted spiritual leader like a chaplain might be able to give advice. Libraries can also offer help finding resources. You are not alone, and you are worthy of help and support. 💙

My favourite ever was when I was in a noodle place in Edinburgh, dining alone, and another old woman came in to dine alone and she ordered sake. She asked if I wanted to share it. I said yes please. We didn’t speak other than that. She paid for the sake. It was wonderful.
Please quote this with stories of your minor interactions with non-celebrities, e.g. “I once accidentally bumped into a man in the Wellingborough branch of Holland & Barrett”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

Another mass Twitter exodus! Welcome, followers - old and new.
If you ever wondered what would happen if you needed a leg amputated in 1832, or if you had a toothache in 1765 - look no further.
From the weird to the wonderful, I'm your gal for all things medical history!
