Do not visit the US. Even if you’re a white granny in her 60s who loves cross-stitch and jigsaw puzzles, there’s a risk – small but there – of very unpleasant consequences. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/21/karen-newton-valid-visa-detained-ice

We are a rogue state. Decent people will shun us.

Pictured: Two jigsaw puzzles a certain granny got for her birthday, plus a partly finished embroidery of a cicada.

Two jigsaw puzzles. One is a brightly colored microphotograph of a neuron. The other is a brightly colored microphotograph of a mycoplasma.

A partly finished embroidery of a cicada. What’s finished is a part of the thorax and part of a wing. Unrealistically colored.
