On his last day our local bin lorry driver brought two-year-old me a miniature red dustbin and I still have it. 🗑️🥰
Absolutely loved exploring the Spitting Image exhibition @theul.bsky.social. Very entertaining, & fascinating to see the puppets up close, and 'behind the scenes' of their construction and operation. Catch it (for free) before it closes on Sunday 17th February!
So glad I caught #beyondthepage at MK Gallery on its penultimate day. Learned a lot about the South Asian miniature tradition and its ongoing influence on contemporary artists. It closes tomorrow so hurry to Milton Keynes!

Almost the same pattern in the UK. About a quarter of STEM grads go into STEM-related jobs. Otherwise, it's mostly business, finance, etc. This *might* be helping the economy but might not, and certainly not in the way policymakers imagine.
“But there is a problem with these massive investments: Most STEM grads don’t work in STEM jobs. The Census reported in 2021 a paltry 28% of STEM grads work in these supposedly in-demand, highly paid & important STEM jobs.” (& the reasons why aren’t what you think…) www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
