London please help. I’m praying for a miracle, I’ve just got into the office and noticed my mums locket (in all these photos) that I wear every day has fallen off my neck on my walk in. My mum died when I was seven and her jewellery is most of what I have of her. I’m devastated

On the site of one of last night’s two strikes in central Beirut. This has terrified people - it’s seen as massively broadening the (civilian) areas that could be attacked at any time by Israel. There was no warning & rescue efforts are ongoing. At least 22 killed, 117 injured.

My favourite image I’ve ever taken. The peak of last night’s historic aurora display over Poolbeg Lighthouse.

Looks like a serious Photoshop job but is very much real. Going to need to print this seriously large.

You, reading this tweet thinking this is nothing to do with you because you don’t commit violence and you’re sure you’ve got no internalised misogyny.

All of it’s connected, you just don’t understand how.
