The Witches 🧙‍♀️

I loved the Marvel TV series 'Agatha All Along' on Disney - some great fun with a lovely diverse cast led by the hilarious Kathryn Hahn, the witch without a coven.

This was an interesting and crazy read on how to deal with witches. The Malleus Maleficarum, or The Hammer of Witches, is one of the best-known texts on how to identify a witch and how to punish them.

"Many of the so-called witches in Kramer’s guide were ostracized female members of society - widows, elderly, alcoholics, mentally ill, or outspoken. "

That describes most of the brilliant women I know! 😂

A purring chicken! 🥹

She purrs like a cat! It's the sweetest thing you've ever seen from a T-Rex relative*.

Butterflies 🦋

This animated chart of butterfly species is one of the most beautiful things I've seen. Exquisite work by Eleanor Lutz.

Longstorming 🌳

This is a pretty cool concept, "Venturing into breathtaking outdoor spaces helps us step back, slow down and think in the long term." My new snorkelling adventures in False Bay over the past year (even in the freezing months) have really given me this, in that moment nothing else matters, all that matters is what you're looking at and experiencing.

Speaking of dinosaurs* 🦖

🥁 What did the sushi say to the bee? Waasaabi!
