@onlinedotnet@CaelanConrad There's also an irony that the Sorting Hat says he should be a Slytherin and he chooses Gryffindor ultimately because it's cooler/Slytherin is bad. Talk about self-IDing due to social contagion...
@echomikeromeo Might be worth recording in any event (if participants OK) for posterity. So many of these small interactions of people seem inconsequential/humble but have the potential for a butterfly effect. If not documented at the time it's too late to rectify once significance realised.
@echomikeromeo This sounds awesome (though I'm from the Other Place, so I'm not eligible). Do you have plans to record/enable virtual attendance? If so I can think of a few alumni who'd be keen!
Tomorrow, a crucial piece of legislation around healthcare will be scrutinised by MPs.

@Felix_F_Fern It's possible to apply for VRR (https://t.co/THexCywtpQ) setting out the basis on which they're incorrect - but the authorities have sat on their hands so long that these offences legally can't now be prosecuted (6 month time limit). Fundamentally unsurprised - not my first rodeo
Mayor of London @SadiqKhan speaks out passionately in favour of LGBTQ+ rights at tonight's #PinkNewsWestminster reception: "When I share with you that one out of four trans teenagers tries to kill themselves, that should sensitise us when it comes to talking about these issues."

I grew up in a cult.
I struggled with bulimia for 20+ years.
I've jumped out of airplanes 16 times.
I spent 13 months in combat.
I overcame opiate addiction.
I sat in a bathtub w/ loaded gun to my head.
I asked my family to sit w/ me as I take my life so I don't die alone.
I'm dating a therapist and I've been telling myself it's okay to be weird around him bc he's seen it all with his job, so nothing will surprise him.
Then the other day he was like "with my job, I've seen it all, so it's unique to meet someone who surprises me, but you do."
