If you've never been inside the RAS, it is worth going to have a nose around today. Burlington House is 362 years old and has some wonderful nooks and crannies – the RAS library is particularly fantastic. And while you're there, you can also walk into the Royal Academy next door for some free art!

Draft and edit constantly as I go, plus edit and revise after. Whether I'm writing a book, an article or anything else. I tinker with words throughout the process. Makes final revisions far less painful and messy.

Thank you Mike! It is a fascinating part of the world, and well worth a visit, although stargazing is still a very new tourist offering there, so you need to be patient and intrepid about it!

The links between light at night and cardiovascular/heart disease are becoming more concerning with new research coming out all the time saying basically: artificial light at night, especially blue light, is bad for your heart. www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/nig...

Just a reminder that I coined the term 'starwashing' and actually coined it well earlier than 2025 but it was on Twitter, now the posts are long-gone. Someone else is claiming to have coined this term this year, and I want it noted for the record that I made up this terribly derivative portmanteau😂

Happy publication day morning to me!! Dear friend @chrislintott.bsky.social said on record that it was "Truly unique! Sparkling with charm and interest & uncompromisingly clear". In person he said "I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but it was surprisingly good" 🥳 Major compliment! 🤗🧪

"Sparkling with charm and interest".

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.

A proper rainy day – finally! The cat came in, soaked, at 7am. I just want to drink tea and cuddle a blanket and SNOOZE.

Aw no! You do need at least 2-3 hrs to transfer. Mercifully I've never had any problems in-flight with KLM (apart from being stranded in Lima once), and in fact they saved me after a Virgin cancellation last year, but their website is HORRIBLE.

Megan Eaves-Egenes @meganeaves.com · 24/08/2026

Every time I book with KLM, the pre-flight experience is worse than the last. Their website is almost unusable at this point. Either it won't log you in or doesn't send you a code in time or won't recognise a PNR to add your booking or it just stares blankly back at you when you try to do ANYTHING

Thank you for reading. It is a piece of writing I am very proud of, and am tremendously grateful to the people of Tanzania who welcomed me for research.

During a phone appointment with my cardiologist yesterday, I mentioned I try to do strength training because I'm middle aged and that's when bone loss starts in women. He openly scoffed and said, "You're not middle aged." I'm 45. Sir, I AM. But thank you. 😂
