just put in my notice at work and my boss was like, "oh, so do you have another job lined up?" and i said, "no. i just don't want to work here anymore." and reader, when i tell you how loud the silence was after that....
Town is absolutely chocka!
A sea of colours, culture and kindness in the sun.
Don't let anyone tell you this city isn't the best in the world because it is!
P.S. Bring back the Mathew St festival. There's no excuse for it not to happen!

The fight to fight. Total respect for this woman the indomitable @JaneCouchMBE First interviewed her 25 years ago. Sometimes we forget the battles for equality - we should never do that #Boxing
For anyone who doesnโt have TikTok: thereโs a trend at the moment where people are romanticising their lives by editing them like Wes Anderson and itโs honestly so creative and wholesome
๐งต๐ Here are a few of my favourite ones
Just watched the last part of #TheHuntforRaoulMoat. Just heartbreaking what that vile human did to poor Christopher, Samantha and David. May he rot in hell
"Today I went out for lunch & I saw this elder lady coming from afar so I waited to hold the door for her, she was very thankful & sweet.
She then told the waitress, "table for one", so I waited & hesitated but then I walked over & said,
โI'm eating by myself too, would you like to have lunch together?" She was ecstatic! Come to find out she spent the last decade living with her mom who recently passed away & her aunt who recently was put into a nursing home, so she has been having a hard time being alone.
We had a wonderful talk, she just kept smiling & saying thank you for listening to me, which made me smile too!
By far the best decision I've made all year!!!
Her name is Delores & weโll be having lunch every Thursday from now on."

We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.
In 2009 I was paid ยฃ15/hr as a pool lifeguard.
In 2023 I have a BSc, a masters, a medical degree, surgical postgrad exams and teach junior doctors.
They pay me ยฃ19.10/hr before tax.
Many operations don't take the full hour to complete.

I'm at BBC HQ in London where there is a statue of George Orwell and his words
"If Liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."

. @GaryLineker asked to step back from hosting a FOOTBALL show because he has a personal opinion on something important.
Let's talk RICHARD SHARP, current BBC Chairman under 2 dodgy investigations for giving Tory party ยฃ400,000 in donations and organising ยฃ800k loan for Johnson ๐
The UK is the 6th richest country in the world, yet 1 in 4 children live in poverty.
The first mission of any government should be to end this grotesque inequality plunging millions into despair.
Itโs time to wake up to the crises we face โ and offer a more hopeful alternative.
