We all spend much of our time buried in our phones, keeping up with what social media has to offer. But the good stuff can get lost in the mix. So we wanted to share with you some of the better posts we’ve seen this week. Some went viral, others had less attention, but all are worthy of a second look.
While we’re at it, make sure you’re following us on Twitter, Facebook and, now, Pinterest so you don’t miss our new output.
A note on that wall
Trump visited the US border this week & said rock climbers tested his wall & agreed it cannot be climbed.

A lot of Scots having a say on the climate
Our first estimates suggest that over 40,000 people in the whole of Scotland went on strike for the #GlobalClimateStrike. Which means that approximately, 1 in every 125 Scots striked on Friday. Now, that’s pretty cool! @GretaThunberg @Fridays4future pic.twitter.com/KPmJRPmvMZ

An undefeatable message
A comedic take on Brexit preparations
A morning word
I always celebrate the day I can use this word again: ‘apricity’ is the warmth of the sun on a chilly morning.
