Brief stop back in London. 5 hours later and we've finally got our luggage. #StormEunice really did a number on baggage backlog! Now to head underground 🚆

My sister was trapped in #Ukraine. This is a thread about her incredible journey to reach #Poland. During her escape she experienced #racism, injuries, freezing temps and sleep deprivation. Her story is only one of the hundreds of thousands of people trying to get out.

Honestly, screw you Spectrum for your anxiety-inducing guerilla junk mail! Wasting paper for some BS "pre-approved" offer and getting people to open them quickly out of fear. At least this beats the red letters you sent out that looked like eviction notices!

Stoked to see the Cobalt2 theme by Wes Bos included in the Fig setup and becoming one of the standard themes in coding!

My Emoji-to-svg startup fav.farm now lets you click the example code to copy to clipboard. Enjoy!

Taking back control of our borders

Starting our move back to the UK! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿The Imperial system strikes again though. Baggage allowance is 23kg/50lbs. The thing is 50lbs == 22.6kg so between the two of us we miss out on 0.8kg in expected weight allowance. Alas, back to metric!

Such a blatant two-weights-two-measures. A clear royalty/peasant divide if I ever saw one. Who are the ones working for that wealth again?

PSA (A realisation that I'm sure most people looking for chair rollerblade-style wheels come to eventually): Despite listings saying they're a universal fit, 7/8" width stems won't work on Ikea chairs ❌. What you're after are 3/8" diameter ones 🤏🏻. Roll safe, folks!

Lettuce remains the reigning champion 🥬

Lettuce at 58p – a good buy Liz Truss at Number 10 – a goodbye

Any aspiring Geoscientists around #Glasgow University of Glasgow ? Thrilling talk happening today, open to all! Bring lunch, a friend and an apetite for science 🌏

[First blog post alert!🚨] I've written up a little deep-dive into Named vs Anonymous functions in Python - there's a few surprises in there, as well as a few (weirder) use-cases most might not typically look to lambdas for. Check it out! #python 🐍 medium.com/funding-circle…

Goodbye Fig, it's been a great run 🥲

How important is continental heterogeneity for subduction dynamics & overriding plate topography?🤔Pretty important as it turns out!👀Check out our NEW PAPER to find out more:sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #continents #subduction #topography School of Geographical & Earth Sciences, UofG🌍 University of Texas Institute for Geophysics UT Jackson School of Geosciences

A new paper from Dr Antoniette Grima (@geoniette) of School of Geographical & Earth Sciences, UofG🌍 and Dr Thorsten Becker of UT Jackson School of Geosciences uses state-of-the-art modelling to cast new light on the formation and development of Earth's continents.
