Don't like my tweets if you're a terf.

Oh, the terfs are mad at Etsy now? It must be tiring to be so mad!

Now is a great time to summer prune your Wisteria 💜

Cut back the whippy green shoots of the current year’s growth to 5 or 6 leaves after flowering in July or August to encourage it to form flower buds 🌿

Okay - that's it. I'm doing #100DaysOfCode! Today will be my first day, but I'm still at work...so...maybe later! I need to keep this up this time, so happy to meet and chat with fellow #coders to keep up motivation!

@ianvisits @sciencemuseum I have had this on my to-do list since I saw it advertised when it was just temp but was never able to go - definitely going to treat myself now.

[Mercy @mercyreads]

@kateweikert @luluusaysthings Oh, not just me then! I picked the first one as it looked the closest to the copy I've had since I was 16 - and therefore partial to!

[Mercy @mercyreads]

@luluusaysthings @kateweikert @shehulking Interest to you?

[Mercy @mercyreads]

What's the best way to stay motivated when doing the #freeCodeCamp? I got a few projects in and stopped and now I want to get back into it but am worried I'll just lose interest again. #Coding #BeginnerCoder

@NathenAmin @thetudortimes Very looking forward to this!

@ENortonHistory It's actually really interesting, in a strange way, how there seem to be quite a few people who believe they are genuinely related to Henry VIII through Mary Boleyn - when there's no proof C Carey was H8's daughter. It's possible, of course - but no proof!

@2xKildCatherine @uberbikegeek @DanaMUA @weredawgz 'I-I do bite my thumb, sir!'
'Do you bite your thumb at ME...sir?'
'Is the law by my side if I say 'aye'?'
'No!'
'No sir I do not bite my thumb at you sir, but I do bite my thumb, sir!'
'Do you quarrel, sir?'
'Quarrel, sir, no, sir!'

Someone with a claim to being the first gynaecologist in the world was a woman: 12th century physician and author Trota of Salerno.

But the healer's name was forgotten for centuries and her legacy almost lost. Here's how Trota was lost and found again.

It's hard to believe these beautiful parks and gardens are just a short stroll from the South Kensington museums! Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens are a wonderful #lunchtime escape from the bustle of London life! 🌳
