Elizabeth Chudleigh showed up nearly naked at a royal masque. She married a Duke *and* an Earl and went on trial for bigamy. She seized every chance to be the center of attention at a time when women were supposed to be models of gentle virtue. My latest newsletter: buttondown.com/charliejane/...

"The UK government has no plans to tackle chemicals in period products, even though previous studies have found heavy metals such as lead and arsenic in tampons." "chemicals absorbed through the vagina directly enter the bloodstream, bypassing the body’s detoxification systems" Nice.

A lady asked me if I really needed the glasses I was wearing to see. I said, “No, I just wear them so I can take them off and rub my eyes with my palms in exasperation when someone says something really stupid.” I then proceeded to take off my glasses and rub my eyes with my palms in exasperation.

Is this like the old ice bucket challenge? “I would like to challenge me mate Jonathan,” and then I have to dump a bucket of mosquitoes over my head and make a charitable donation?

It was two years later when someone handed me a cassette tape (which for all I know may still exist in a box in my closet) that had the OpIvy album on one side, and Skankin Pickle's debut album on the flip side, telling me I was too into NYC ska & had to learn about west coast ska... Great album.

NBC: The Kremlin pushed back at Trump’s comments that dubbed his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, "crazy," mulling whether the American leader was suffering from "emotional overload." Sounds like mom and dad might get a divorce. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsARussianAsset #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Still obsessed with the cutest nesting strategy going. 🧪🐡The Eastern Snail Shell Mason Bee (Osmia conjuncta) is a small North American blue bee which makes nests in suitable empty snail shells! In my linocut I show this adorable little pollinator with a Cepaea shell. #linocut #printmaking

Do you want to join us on a trip? You've heard Scarborough is nice at this time of year? Ah, it's not that sort of trip. In fact we are not leaving the building - it's the roof space of the Committee Room. Still want to come? Okay but a bucket and spade is not really necessary...

If you can identify the woman below, who was driving the jet ski that killed Ava Moore, please email us immediately at [email protected] or call grapevine police. Not only did the woman kill a young girl she ran afterwards & hit cars in the parking lot trying to escape.
