Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

On Boxing Day we adopted this lovely chap. His former elderly owner has passed away and the cat sanctuary knew I was looking for an older cat and called me. Still a bit shy, and is anxious to noise, but loves my bed. #catlover #AdoptDontShop #Cats

I'm 53 years old but during the last working week before Christmas it still feels like a damn imposition that I have to work and not, for example, cut snowflakes from paper and cover them in glitter, eat mince pies, sing carols in the hall, or put a towel on my head and be a shepherd in the play

It’s a very weird feeling approaching the end of my #PhD journey. 6.5 years of using my annual leave, my evenings and weekends to pull together my thesis. Full of dread and relief. I am looking forward to breathing over this Christmas period.
