Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

If you suffer from pogonophobia (a fear of beards) then look away now.

A man from San Francisco is breaking the boundaries of facial hair fashion and gravity with his fantastical beard styles.

Self-confessed beard enthusiast Isaiah Webb has been sharing photos of his 'beard dos' online, posting a different style on his Instagram profile every Monday or 'Monbeardday'.

Webb, who is also known as Mr Incredibeard, has experimented with every style imaginable from curls and waves to making his beard hold a burger and fries. There is also a shot of his beard completely straightened and another in which it has been fashioned into a bowl containing noodles.

The 29-year-old explains on his blog that his wife helps him to put his hirsute styles together with a little extra help from various hair products. Most recently Mr Incredibeard has been applying The Bearded B******'s Woodsman Mustache Wax and Beard Oil.

On his blog, the lustrously bearded Webb also shares tips about maintaining beards and advice on replicating his wacky looks. Jeremy Paxman take note.
