A cynical little plastic geographer and Playmobil Perdita's less decisive sidekick. Currently taking a break from Geography but still eager to learn.

[Changing Faces @FaceEquality]

As new guidance around face coverings is announced, our ambassador Phil shares the challenges this can pose when you have a visible difference. So do wear a face covering if you can, and be kind to those whose condition may prevent them from wearing one.

Quite.

Fuck wearing yellow.
Fuck raising awareness.
Fuck celebrities and politicians encouraging us to talk.
We’re aware. We’re talking.
But there’s no funds, there’s life-threatening long waits for talking therapies, meds are running out.

Fund the NHS.

@guardian Doesn't seem like a very eco-friendly way of protesting :/

Oh wow! Amazing and unexpected. Now what?! #SupremeCourt

Happy birthday Bruce! You write about cars, girls and the American dream, which I don't 'get' at all. But as I listen, tears stream down my little plastic face. You write about life in a way I understand a little too perfectly. I feel it's important to learn from that.

Happy birthday Bruce Springsteen! The musician is entering his seventh decade at peak creative strength. Here’s @robsheff's tribute to his saga so far https://t.co/zGfmy5XRsE

@bbclaurak @BBCPolitics So what? Activism is as crucial as ever right now. Many politicians are completely losing sight of what matters, to the absolute detriment of the most vulnerable people in Britain. It's devastating. Personal stories (of which there are far too many) help to highlight that.

Just applied for vote by proxy from abroad! Important in these unbelievable times.

Not missing Exeter student landlords... our landlord here just gave us all of this food to celebrate Chuseok! He’s fantastic! Just what we needed after this morning’s 16km round trip on foot to a mediocre lake . It’s been an amazing first couple of weeks in Korea! 😊😊

This week is Face Equality Week! We see somebody's face before we know anything else about a person, but beyond that we can make a choice about how we treat people. See the wonderful @FaceEquality for more! #FaceEqualityDay

Would anything change even if the number exceeded 30 million? Maybe not, but worth a try given the approaching catastrophic, self-destructive tragedy of 'democracy'. #petitiontorevokearticle50 #brexitpetition #PeriditaandMaybeZara

Katie Hopkins thrives off this kind of attention,so I was going to continue playing my guitar rather than contributing.But giving her a forum to express hatred and misinformation also gives others an opportunity to challenge hatred and misinformation. #Exeter #PerditaandMaybeZara

Quick thread:

Special measures are in place in England and Wales to ensure that people sleeping rough are given shelter overnight, as temperatures drop below freezing. It's called the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP)

You know you're British when you get so excited about this much snow that you put baked beans instead of chopped tomatoes in your pasta sauce! 😳#snow #exeter #PerditaandMaybeZara

Today we learnt about the diversity of 'rurals' the rural idyll obscures. Today's #Gloucestershirelive article seems to reflect some of these! https://t.co/C28qogXdqL #PerditaandMaybeZara #Geography
