Text over abstract quantum physics background with glowing orbital patterns. The text describes the progressive teaching of atomic models from childhood through education: starting with solids, liquids and gases; progressing to ball-and-stick molecules; then solar system-style atoms; then quantum probability clouds and quarks. Each stage is punctuated with dry British humour noting how each previous model was wrong but useful. The post concludes: 'Anyway. This is a post about the complex biology of gender.'

Bald man with glasses and a vibrant purple beard wearing a purple hoodie, outdoors in a garden and holding up two jars of Garner's pickled onions - "Original Pickled Onions" (traditionally hand peeled and pickled in a rich malt vinegar) on the left, and "Pickled Shallots" (traditionally hand peeled and pickled in a spiced malt vinegar) on the right. Behind him is lush green foliage with trees and shrubs creating a natural backdrop. His expression suggests he's about to deliver his considered opinion on these artisanal preserves.

Bald man with glasses and a purple beard wearing a black t-shirt, holding up two jars of Funky Food Co. pickled onions - Marmite pickled onions in malt vinegar (left jar with white label featuring the distinctive Marmite branding) and Guinness pickled onions in malt vinegar (right jar with black label). Behind him is his familiar home office with shelves of collectibles, framed artwork, a bright blue door, and a rubber duck visible amongst the memorabilia. His expression suggests he's about to embark on what could be described as either a culinary adventure or an act of madness, depending on one's tolerance for bold flavours.
