I have a constant need to air my opinions about things I know nothing about. Hence, I tweet. | If you're a travel site/bot following me for my handle, don't.

Good to know this is what brought me back to Twitter.

Dropping every Ted Lasso episode "early" at 9pm all season long, and then deciding to drop the finale at midnight, is just the perfect way to ruin my evening. I was all set to live text my rage and reactions to @IreneIdler... What am I supposed to do now?

[a traveller @a_traveller]

@maith_i @tantanoo @_LucyParker @ladyofthepack Yeah Beth O'Leary's books can get a bit dark - Flatshare is actually my favourite of her books, so if you didn't like that you may not like the others.

[a traveller @a_traveller]

@maith_i @tantanoo @_LucyParker @ladyofthepack OMG forgot my other new fave - Ali Hazelwood. She writes about women in STEM, which goes over my head as a measly arts person, but love her books. Also try Jasmine Guillory. Emily Henry is a little hit or miss for me, but worth trying.

@tantanoo @maith_i @_LucyParker @ladyofthepack Lucy Parker and Nora Roberts are my two go to romance authors. Both usually have main characters who are good at their jobs, and where the job often actually plays a role in the story. Olivia Dade and Beth O'Leary are also good.

[a traveller @a_traveller]

Awwww, thank you @DesiSecretSanta! Lucy Parker is an all-time favourite author for me, this is perfect!

(Sorry for seeing this 3 days late though 🙈)

I hardly ever come on twitter these days, but came across a link to this thread, and now I'm all:

[Electra Rhodes - writes a bit/archaeologises a bit @electra_rhodes]

Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives.

It began with a heart attack 🧵

@tantanoo Always nice when I open Twitter after weeks and a tweet from you is the first thing I see

[Siri Srinivas @pjux]

Small government but total and unilateral control over all women’s bodies.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I hope every single congressional reporter from now on stops every single elected Republican in the hallways of Congress and asks them if they agree with this plank of the Texas GOP platform, and, if not, will they publicly condemn it?

[a traveller @a_traveller]

It's really gems like this that the @qz Daily Brief is so good at.

This trial and the verdict has enabled abusers across the spectrum to believe with all conviction that they can game the system, they can use the trial itself to discredit and bully their victim, and that public shaming is the price for speaking out against domestic violence. 💔

[Felicia Sonmez @feliciasonmez]

“No victim is perfect. No victim should have to be. After all, if a man cannot be considered abusive towards an imperfect woman, then just how perfect does a woman need to be before it becomes wrong to beat her?”

Just can’t believe that our beloved #KK is no more. This really can’t be true.
The voice of love has gone.
This is heartbreaking.

[Julián Castro @JulianCastro]

Greg Abbott oversaw the worst response to a winter storm in Texas history.

He oversaw one of the worst responses to a Covid outbreak.

He oversaw the most bungled deployment of guardsmen for a stunt.

And now he is overseeing the worst response to a shooting in recent history.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

"What stops armed bad guys is armed good guys," Cruz claims, ignoring that 19 cops stood around for nearly an hour while the Uvalde shooter was in an elementary classroom

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Yeah this time is gonna be different. This is in front of the NRA convention in Houston.

[Sari Beth Rosenberg @saribethrose]

Police officers with guns didn’t stop the shooter, so why would teachers with guns make a difference?
