A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:
โItโs a strange thing knowing youโre going to die young.
At 26, I thought I had timeโฆ
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.
But cancer doesnโt care about plans.
Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.
Iโm not writing this to scare you. Iโm writing to remind you: really live.
Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day youโll wish you had appreciated it.
Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.
Spend less time chasing โstuffโ - more time making memories. Donโt skip moments with people you love.
Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.
Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.
Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.
You donโt need to have it all figured out. You donโt need a perfect body, or a perfect life.
Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.
And please - donate blood. I wouldnโt have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories Iโll hold closeโฆ forever.
Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.
And maybeโฆ weโll meet again someday.โ

Absolutely horrific night in Ukraine last night - 44 ballistic missiles and 659 drones fired from Russia. Deaths in Kyiv, Odessa and Dnipro. Not even bothering to hide the fact that it is residential areas under attack. Barely on the news outside Ukraine. And @JDVance says he is proud that USA has pulled its support so the aggressor can keep aggressing. Disgusting. But Europe has to do even more now
Nothing like the imagination of teenage boys. They can't manage to keep their rooms clean, but they can come up with and execute this perfectly.

Somebody sent me this, which I think might just make your day. I don't know who to credit it to, I'm afraid, but whoever filmed it, thank you.
Happy Easter
This is absolutely brilliant ๐๐๐
Passengers on a flight captured the #Artemis rocket launch on camera through the plane window ๐๐๐๐๐๐
Imagine seeing that from up there, unreal ๐ณ๐
Every year on the anniversary of D-Day, French citizens take sand from Omaha Beach and rub it onto the gravestones of fallen soldiers to create a golden shine. They do this for all 9,386 American soldiers buried there. ๐ฎ
"Trump, the Mar-a-Lago golfer, is the only bull in the world who walks around with his own china shop. When a clown takes over the Palace, he doesn't become King. It's the Palace that becomes a circus"
French senator Claude Malhuret once again nails it. You won't hear a better indictment of Trump and his Gulf war than this. Well worth 5 minutes of your time

This is incredible.
This machine is capable of cleaning up 100 million kg of plastic ocean waste, and as of 2025, it has already collected about 500,000 kg of plastic.
It aims to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.
