Day 7 #artAdventCalendar my #linocut horseshoe crab (Tachypeus gigas) in grey, blue-bronze and dark brown on 8” x 8” cream-coloured Japanese paper with bark inclusions. 🧪🐡 They get their name from their horseshoe like shape but they are not crabs; they are chelicerates, more closely related to 🧵

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

Dear Ronnie,
Just a quick note to say, remember not to wear those terrible cheap joggers pulled up to your armpits, with your shirt and tie.
Best wishes

These small embryo nests are created by queens that survived winter.

I used the facilities during a trip up Seattle's Space Needle. Every time I see it (and there are a lot of Frasier repeats), I like to mention that I've had a wee up that. If I'd been to SPACE I would be simply unbearable
Going to space for 10 minutes because I want to piss up there. Not really interested in the cosmos otherwise

Last year, the eggs sadly didn't hatch and the parent eagles dejectedly abandoned the nest for a while. They're back now, and two chicks are growing. Give yourself a moment
Need a moment of calm? I can recommend watching this bald eagle sitting on her nest in the snow www.friendsofbigbearvalley.org/eagles/

I love the reuse of rural British phone boxes as tiny libraries so I’ve decided that every time I see one, I’m going to top it up with a few of my books.
