Surfers in Santa Cruz, California, have been victims of a crime at sea: boardjacking. The culprit is a 5-year-old sea otter, who has a knack for riding the waves after committing longboard larceny. Now wildlife officials are hoping to apprehend her. 🦦 nyti.ms/3XP8KLN

This is Bama, Dinco, Elphaba, and Argus. They've been trying to take a family photo for the last 45 minutes. Really hard to remember if it's tongues out eyes open or tongues in eyes closed. 13/10 for all

A brief reminder this morning of the expression 'hingum-tringum' (19th-century): barely presentable and just about hanging together.

Cis woman here, 100% here for trans rights.
What Ellie says - I'm a cis woman, 100% here for trans rights. I've seen the arguments, & I remember them all being used to fuel gay panic & other right wing movements that 'other'. Sod that. My feminism is intersectional & always will be. All of us have rights, or none of us do.

Mental-health crisis from pandemic was minimal, study suggests bbc.in/3ZA0EHd
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The headline's statement that impact was "minimal" may be misleading, as the article states that the cited study does not focus on those most likely to be affected. bbc.com/news/health-64…

No tomato shortage here - but I’m in Kherson, a frontline Ukrainian city that gets shelled by the Russians daily, not a British supermarket.
