My 14-year-old son has brought this home for me tonight. It’s his art project.
Needless to say he won’t be doing Art GCSE.
I have absolutely no words…

Recently, I pitched a story about the very weird tradition of competitive worm charming. This was a bit of a tumbleweed pitch — mostly silence from editors and a few bemused rejections. (1/8) 🪱

Just woke up to the fact that I’ve been referring to “trichotillomania” as “trichomonaisis” for the last, oh, ever, and I cannot stop laughing. 🤣🤣

@greg_jenner I loved Rogue One for starting to get into that grainy detail and expanding the Star Wars universe in a real way, exploring what rebellion and empire really look like, and I'm so here for Andor.

Hi, all! I wanted to share again this project, perhaps the most significant of my career. #lesslethal weapons may not reliably kill people, but they certainly have the power to destroy lives.

@TrueCrime_s Yes! I’ve had a collection of broken blood vessels on my cheek since I was a small child, cause unknown. It has led to some funny stories and random not-doctors diagnosing me with lupus is a theme (I don’t have lupus). I think I’m too old to bother getting it removed now!

Less-lethal munitions getting their day in (a Texas) court soon. Listen to @OPBTOL talk with @LongLead's @LinRod about her six-part, multimedia feature on these deadly police tools, "The People vs. Rubber Bullets."
