Good morning and welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday

All you have to do today is start.
Don't worry about how far you'll go.
Just start.

Feeling my art history education rise to the surface like the Lady of the Lake with King Arthur's sword when I'm in the vicinity of a Medieval Times

Knowing no one could ever call me a grifter and have it be credible because I was making stop motion animations at 15 with pictures of sand on the ground and I'll probably still be doing it if I reach 80

It sucks that everywhere I live celebs want to be my friend... not helping the living a low key life goals :/

A cyanotype photogram made by Atkins which was part of her 1843 book, Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions

English botanist & photographer Anna Atkins (b. #OTD in 1799) is often considered the first person to publish a book illustrated with photographic images.

Rat Trail Can you find the 12 rats hidden in The Museum of English Rural Life?

These well-dressed rats will be going into our galleries from 28 March as we reimagine and update our very popular Rat Trail: a challenge for visitors to find rats hidden throughout our displays.

Each rat represents a different experience of rural childhood.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

Be kind.

People are often trying their best, even when it may not look or feel that way to us.
Some, most, are working far harder than we will ever know.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.

"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

Getting to be neighbors with one of my best friends in Paris and having dinners with her will always be one of happiest memories ❤️ So many photos to go through

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday

We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone. 🧡
A small act of kindness can reach places only compassion can heal.
Never underestimate the power of simply being gentle, present, and kind, you might be the light someone needs today

Love it!

Happy belated birthday, Pokey! ❤️

A beautiful girl!

I did synchronized swimming for 10+ years and was so addicted to this song I tried to pitch a Shinedown themed show. Never happened but it really is so beautiful www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbsD...

I love women. And I hate a**holes

It's sad how many times you talk with women who have stopped something they loved and how many times it's often because of a creep in their industry. Things have to get better

The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

A white sheet of paper with black text which says "Zehra n'est pas seule Zehra se lève au matin, Sans papiers, sans lendemain. Mais son regard dit : « Je vis », Et sa voix dit : « Je tiens ici. » Zehra, Zehra, tu n'es pas seule, Ton chant rejoint mille autres voix. Dix-huit ans d'injustice, ça suffit, Nous sommes là, debout, pour toi. On t'a promis, on t'a menti, On t'a jugée, on t'a trahie, Mais sous la peur, sous le froid, Ton courage parle pour toi. Zehra, Zehra, tu n'es pas seule, Ton chant rejoint mille autres voix. Dix-huit ans d'injustice, ça suffit, Nous sommes là, debout, pour toi. Zehra debout ! Zehra courage ! Nous portons ton message. Zehra debout ! Zehra demain ! Le droit de vivre, c'est le tien ! Zehra, Zehra, tu n'es pas seule, Ton chant rejoint mille autres voix. Dix-huit ans d'injustice, ça suffit, Nous sommes là, debout, pour toi." Out of focus in the background are color printed photographs of Zehra and her friends on the side of her tent

After 7 months on a hunger strike for her right to asylum, my friend Zehra's deportation from France has been cancelled. Her hunger strike is now over
