I honour her for her vehement support of assisted dying & for establishing Childline www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq...

Dame Esther Rantzen, broadcaster, campaigner and charity founder, dies aged 86
Rantzen, who fronted the BBC's That's Life for two decades, went on to found Childline, and in recent years had been a campaigner for assisted dying.

There's a new Dickens film out with Johnny Depp. I'd never watch a film with him in it. Are people supposed to have forgotten what sort of person he is?

Mourning but make it fashion. Whilst this c1820 gown is indicative of loss written into the very black of its seams, it also demonstrates an awareness of prevailing style with puff sleeves & gauzy layers. Is this a grieving wife or a Merry Widow? @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Absolutely beautiful from @askamanager.org - huge love to her. Mum was lucky she could choose to stop dialysis a couple of weeks ago - but she berated the consultant that he couldn't give her "all the drugs" to then die immediately

The #AutumnEquinox, when day & night are of equal length, is today. This is a time that offers a hedgerow harvest of blackberries, rose hips, crab apples, hazelnuts & seeds. Many creatures take advantage of this to build up reserves of fat for migration or hibernation  📸 Alan Price

I dislike the gendering of cat ownership not only because it means fewer cats get adopted, but also because it makes it harder to find cat-themed menswear. Below are some I've come across over the years. Brands and descriptions are in the alt text. Also a mug at the end that I like.

"It had been known earlier to women." I love this understated line from the Online Etymology Dictionary, on the clitoris.
The anatomist Mateo Renaldo Colombo (1516-1559), professor at Padua, claimed
to have discovered it ('De re anatomica,"1559, p. 243). He called it amor Veneris, vel dulcedo "the love or sweetness of Venus." It had been known earlier to women.
