@MindRayder @crockpics Fashion designer, not stylist!

[Vera @Verushka]

@MindRayder @crockpics I forgot one am pleased to learn that an African American stylist, working at a time of immense racism and discrimination, was one of the contributors to Bowie's iconic style. Black excellence in the face of discrimination doesn't make me feel threatened for a second.

Packed house for #TheFoodConversation Summit, starting off with the most important conversation: a panel of citizens talking about their loved experience of a broken food system, chaired by @dan_crossley. @FFC_Commission @FoodEthicsNews

I'm only here to post stories that directly counter the otherwise divisive narratives spreading on this app. I've never wanted to join a Morris group more. #folkagainstracism #quwerasfolk #morrisdancing

@kimmoorepoet @ShareClaw Just spotted this in the Winchester Poetry email and signed up. I've got work or toddler commitments most mornings but used a 'pay-what-you-can' as I don't know how many I can attend. I hope that's ok!

Yes! My winter reading list is here! 🌿

@ATRightMovies I scrolled for so long for just one gay love story. Here's one love at first sight/slow burn.

A complex food system requires complex collaborative action. Craig Blundred @HpoolCouncil Director of Public Health gives overview of #GoodFoodLocalNE programme addressing key challenges facing North East communities through healthy and sustainable food. #systemsnerds

@Caltermole I've found that being a real human being and treating others, even those I haven't met in real life yet as I would friends, is just, not even a tactic, it's a nice way to be in life and people are nice back at you.

@ClayHarted Some people just don't want to live. I'm sorry she's so hurt she's taking it out on people, plants and joy.

Poetry Twitter ngl you're what's keeping me here. Please tell me if you're staying or going in the comments. Let's interact more in our last ditch effort to make this space more relevant and, dammit, beautiful. Pic because moody cormorants are so poetry.

@imlorijay @JessPected Ughhhhhhh had to wade into 4 month old comments with that one...

[Vera @Verushka]

@rhodeislander @imlorijay @AllieTheEditor @JFrankensteiner @TheUnhelpfulNPC Lemme be a ghost of 90s past for you since it doesn't sound to me like you were an actual girl in the 90s - women didn't talk (to you) about the shit they went through but the trauma and damage to self worth and relationships were very real. If I had a dollar for every Dave.

@shazzala @JessPected I mean... The royal institution is its own level of creepy? It's a "how to no longer human" for the ages.

[Vera @Verushka]

@Peritas68 @IFR65 @mrjamesob I'm just excited about all the Schrödinger's cat online searches spurred by this comment.

[Vera @Verushka]

@drbramwell What! Result. I never even got to promo it properly 🙈🙈

[Vera @Verushka]

The other thing I need to tell you is that I'm the opening act for @drbramwell's legendary Cult of Water, the performance/book that introduced me to the concept of being nerdy/mystical about waterways. Yes there will be PowerPoint. 5th Sept Brighton. Tix: https://t.co/wGaETbuUvq

This thread is epic and deserves an unroll, but also a public service announcement that this nerdy wild magic happens in Brighton/Lewes/Shoreham EVERY MONTH courtesy of @drbramwell's #CatalystClub. @kindofsquishy if you ever come to the UK...

For my birthday I asked everybody to come prepared with a PowerPoint presentation about any topic they wanted and BY GOD THEY FUCKING DELIVERED. These are just some highlights 🧵

@GoldingBF Will you remove your dangerously incorrect post? Have you seen the violence and suffering these false claims cause? Hundreds of people nearly died in the UK recently due to similar unfounded claims.
