After finding the secret herbal garden of Prester John, picking mint sprinkled with dew in the deserts of Inner Mongolia and soaking the tomatoes for three full moons in the lapis lazuli from the slopes of Tien-Shan I have cooked the Ottolenghi pearl-barley stew.

I’ve just finished this - I don’t know how long it took you to write @ottoenglish.bsky.social but I am in awe. It is so well researched and detailed but also wide-ranging and humorous. I liked the references back and forward in time to link other chapters, and I lapped up the WW2 chapters…

Very very upset at the University of Cambridge higher ups. I don’t think their remaining in situ given this week - in court and with Arday - is remotely tenable.

If you want a completely different book that will twist your mind, order this. It sneakily captures you and draws you in. I didn’t realise how much until I welled up at the end, and I haven’t done that in years! (Funny too)

THREAD. In her exclusive interview in today's Daily Telegraph Magazine, the actor, influencer and designer Philippa Islington-Smythe (pictured) discusses the price of fame, her controversial new perfume, working with Margot Robbie and how becoming a parent changed her perspective on the world...

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Foster house guest #70! Meet Luigi. Horrible back story, and I think he will be with us a while, but he’s had a good long sleep, discovered roast chicken (paws up to that) and is getting used to the quiet.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

As a foster mum for dogs, I think this raises excellent points. I would add the broken vet “market” which means people suddenly can’t afford the care their ageing dogs need (don’t get me started on insurance)
