@GroheUK having a horrible time fitting a Grohe Minta single mixer kitchen tap. Fitter mystified by tightening system. Can someone help please?

@SoozUK Was good to see you too. Never thought I'd voluntarily pay to see a Y2K, Dot Cotton, dressage mashup and come out smiling. 🤩

This week’s riots aren’t happening in a vacuum. We’re living and breathing on platforms that billionaires have optimised for outrage. This is the world that social media made.

@OwenJones84 Can't help but sending solidarity. I still don't quite know how (undiagnosed ADHD) me got hitched at all. Your guests will forgive a little chaos. Congrats. 💕

“it’s orwellian”
“it’s dystopian butter?” 😭

@unikunka Possibly going to be my best line of 2024. 👌

My fear is Labour are going to respond to the Reform surge in their seats by escalating anti-migrant bashing.

This is wrong in principle - but you can see what happened in Europe when “centrists” tried the same strategy.

Spoiler: it legitimised and fuelled the far right.

Everyone knows Labour are going to win the election, but if you’re feeling like there’s no point in voting as the outcome is a foregone conclusion, I’d like to draw your attention to something really radical that is on offer tomorrow: 1/8

Completing the worlds longest form ahead of my wedding hair and makeup trial

The form included question about HIV.

I wrote this. Hope it won’t be awkward next Sunday…

@ahhwhatishappen @gracepetrie May have had something in my eye...

[Grey Calico @Goldhalva]

@TimEdwins7 @gracepetrie Yes it was!

[MrMustard @MrMustard]

Saw the absolute legend that is @gracepetrie in Islington tonight. Do yourself a favour and listen to this now: https://t.co/bb1xaLqp4u

POV: Just accepted voluntary redundancy but @gracepetrie gigs exist and friendly small cocktail bars. Can't say I'm not trying to live my best life. #BuildSomethingBetter

@lazy_stripes Yum!!

[Sacha Coward @sacha_coward]

Do you remember when a few conservative so-and-so's were like 'by the year 2027 the pride flag will probably look like this, lol'?

And the queer community was like 'Ok😍'

@the_tweedy Understanding that what we share across the various forms of neurodivergence is often difficulties with different types of executive functioning. Understanding that a challenge for me is related to working memory, for example.

@stephenwhittle I feel you. Ours is also broken and been ghosted by person due to fix it just before everything stopped for Xmas. Heated blanket is amazing!! Hope it's fixed soon. 🥶

[Grey Calico @Goldhalva]

Thanks for keeping me company on the commute @normandyfmshow @seamoosi & @shepardcdr ❤️

if you become a step-parent to a kid who already has two active and involved parents, consider taking on less of a “parenting” role and more of an “extra adult who loves me and I don’t need to worry about pleasing” role.
