49 years ago today, Martin Luther King’s mother, Alberta King, was assassinated while in church. 6 years after her son was gunned down in Memphis.
Alfred Daniel King, brother to MLK, mysteriously died in a swimming pool, 15 months after his brother’s assassination.
This is a particular dress. It goes from beige to pink under sunlight. Photochromic garments use a dye that make them react to certain types of radiation, in this case, ultraviolet

I worked with a family once who wanted to give their children a truly screen-free upbringing. They had gone to extraordinary lengths to do so. They moved to the countryside and surrounded the children in mud and wooden toys. 1/
Using two telescopes and over 280,000 individual photos, I captured my most detailed image of our moon. The full size is over a gigapixel. Trust me, you’ll want to zoom in on this one.
@pigletish John Lewis has some great ones. They also do wooden sushi and pizza and all the wooden food “essentials”. Melissa and Doug is classic and anything Little Dutch is pricey but pretty.
You probably remember this picture of the baby who spent 128 hours under rubble after an earthquake in Turkey. It was reported that the baby's mom died.
Turns out, the mom is alive! She was treated in a different hospital. After 54 days apart and a DNA test, they are together again.

@pigletish I read an article once (I wish I could remember its title) that was about the pipeline from natural birth to anti vax. Sure, there are a lot of problems with the medical industry and I understand why mistrust develops but to write all modern medicine off? Wild.
Are they allergic to the word rape? Call it what it is. An 11 year old child cannot consent. That little girl has been through enough, at least give her dignity in how you tell her story.
My thoughts exactly. The new childcare announcement has the potential to be excellent. But it also has the potential to expand all the problems with current “free” hours system.
A man can literally commit mass murder and his troubled past/mental health will be used as a reason to deserve empathy
A woman goes missing, we don’t actually know what happened to her and they release personal details like this as if she is to blame

@pigletish That’s so sad. It’s easy to have a bad day as a parent and shout or handle something badly, but when it gets physical like that in public and they act like it’s normal it just makes me think what on earth happens at home when they lose their patience
@pigletish People do things to children that would literally be considered assault if they did to an adult and for some reason that’s socially acceptable. It makes no sense.
@mamamorgann Everyone tells you your 2nd will be a really hard baby but honestly mine has been so much easier. Sickness is unavoidable if your first is in any kind of childcare but even then my 2nd is still a happy easy baby
Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day, I'm thinking about this little boy, the same age as my kids, proudly showing a flower to another child, outside a gas chamber at Auschwitz, where they were all murdered moments later. It is so important for us all to remember what happened.
