Since 2005 'And Tango Makes Three ' has been one of the most banned books in the US, and is still prohibited in some schools. It's a children's book based on the true story of two male chinstrap penguins who adopted a chick.
Sadly, I can't unban books; but I can paint penguins!!

@JerzyOrsel @ItaiYanai Interested to know @UKRI_News' thoughts on this. I recently went to a talk by UKRI and asked about the problems of short-term postdoc contracts. They replied “we know it’s a problem but most of you will end up in industry anyway so we don’t think it’s one that’s worth fixing”

Some vandalise Van Gogh's paintings by throwing tomato soup on them, I prefer to throw penguins into them...

Some consider Federer to be tennis' GOAT (greatest of all time). I'd suggest
PENGUIN (played exceptionally, never gave up, infrequently neutralised).

OK tenuous penguin link, I just wanted to practice painting humans...

@SharonKindleys1 @ElyCathedral @SpottedInEly Without a doubt the best review I've received! 😆

If all the world's emperor penguins were combined into one they would stand ~100m tall (according to my dodgy calculations).
This is that penguin @Ely_Cathedral

@ShappiKhorsandi @chunkymark Love it Shappi, if you ever fancy expanding your penguin collection to include some inferior (and generally more disturbing) works just let me know!
