Absolutely wild that entire books on How To Be An Activist are being written by 21 years olds and not a word of the vast and complex histories of community organising is being uttered. Books written completely from the 'I' perspective. The individualisation of this has to staaaap

After his dance in the rain captured the eyes of millions, this 11-year-old Nigerian boy has earned a scholarship to study ballet in the U.S.

This month, I join 19 other activists, many of whom I deeply admire, on a special pull out cover of @BritishVogue's September issue. It's on newsstands this Friday.

replace the entire British curriculum with this TikTok

[Sophie Thompson-Semple @SophLThompson]

@sharmadeanreid Yes! Totally agree with and have felt all of this. FFs are also constantly asked for personal details and their personal life story to justify their start up, far more often than male founders I feel

[Sophie Thompson-Semple @SophLThompson]

@barnzzy I was just thinking the exact same! And Lime bikes

[Zing Tsjeng @misszing]

Please don't just post a black square. Write to your MP now with these demands:
- Immediate suspension of UK sales of teargas, riot shields + rubber bullets to the US
- Condemn Trump's use of force against his own citizens
- Release the delayed report into BAME Covid deaths

@VirginAtlantic @MartinSLewis just wondering if you could help or if you know anything about our rights here? @VirginAtlantic have said we are getting a refund over a month ago but now say they can't indicate when it will be processed. Seems like no urgency in getting it back to their customers!

[Sophie Thompson-Semple @SophLThompson]

@VirginAtlantic waiting on our refund to be processed from 2 cancelled flights to Delhi on 2nd May. Was told it would be 14 working days on 14th April so waiting a month now. Any news pls? Thank you!

[Sophie Thompson-Semple @SophLThompson]

@VirginAtlantic Ok thanks for letting me know. How many more days will we have to wait, please can you give an indication?

[Sophie Thompson-Semple @SophLThompson]

@NatWestBusiness @RishiSunak @BritishBBank @guardian @FT @thetimes It's insane that the only way to get a response is via Twitter! @RishiSunak pls can you advise which banks are effectively distributing emergency loans as per your scheme? Can you put out an official statement advising @NatWestBusiness customers which bank we should switch to?

[Sophie Thompson-Semple @SophLThompson]

@NatWestBusiness @RishiSunak @BritishBBank @guardian @FT @thetimes DM'ed you

[Sophie Thompson-Semple @SophLThompson]

@jessphillips Thank you @jessphillips for all that you do for us 🙏💛

[Sophie Thompson-Semple @SophLThompson]

@AyoCaesar @TwitterSupport What! That's insane 😥

[Sophie Thompson-Semple @SophLThompson]

@sharmadeanreid Yes!! Congrats ♥️

[Nathalie Vincent @awlilnatty]

There’s no way any women made this/wrote this/looked at this before it went anywhere. What a lot of patronising bollocks @NatWest_Help @StylistMagazine #mrbanker

[Sophie Thompson-Semple @SophLThompson]

@awlilnatty @NatWest_Help @StylistMagazine Urgh I totally agree! The whole thing makes my skin crawl. It actually really pissed me off this morning, @StylistMagazine, it's just so patronising #MrBanker
