@ThreeUKSupport I’m waiting on a prepaid bag to send back my modem. Unsurprisingly I haven’t received it - can someone please send this to me asap because I don’t want to pay another month for a service I’m not using.

[Alpa @AlpaB_]

@RottenInDenmark Love you, love @yrfatfriend , love both podcasts. Also I think it would tickle you that up until the last @MaintenancePod bonus I legit thought you had a wax skeleton of yourself but also never really gave a lot of thought as to why you would need that 😂

@Zoe__V Levis are a staple - they don’t have any elastane in them which from my experience means they last longer and wear much much better over time.

Did you know that coastal ecosystems such as #mangroves can take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere quicker than forests on dry land? This is #BlueCarbon. Here’s Alpa Bhattacharjee to explain how #HSBC is investing in blue carbon solutions to fight #ClimateChange

[CEDA @ceda_news]

"Nature-based solutions have a vital role to play in preventing climate change. Financial assets which serve the dual purpose of generating a return and protecting nature are a critical way forward for capital markets."

@DanielCrute @dog_rates @JustFoodForDogs Thank you. Odie was my soulmate dog. And sorry for your loss too.

[Alpa @AlpaB_]

@medibank I cancelled my pet insurance because my dog passed, you still charged me a premium, I’ve had to call twice to get it refunded and still nothing. It’s $160 so barely small change, and it’s not ideal that I need to chase you up on something so painful to talk about!

This. All of this. Great to see Indian women in lead roles, but they’ve been dropped into stories that aren’t ours. Tell our stories. Cast us as the lead in a rom com. Not some period drama set in an era when Britain was trading our bodies and taking our land. #Bridgerton

[Sunny Singh @ProfSunnySingh]

Unpopular opinion: just saw the #Bridgerton trailer and sorry but casting people of colour to play stereotypical roles created for white people is NOT representation.

It *may* work in some cases and when handled carefully but doesn’t for most part

Short 🧵

[Alpa @AlpaB_]

So no one thought to teach the cast how to say ‘Sharma’ properly - that R is not silent! Also if you’re calling your parents Amma & Appa, you’re almost definitely not calling your sister Didi 😒 #Bridgerton

[Alpa @AlpaB_]

@emilynussbaum Was gonna say Starstruck but clearly that’s been covered. Trying on Apple TV is lovely too.

The footage of Cathy Freeman excitedly scrambling to take phone pics of Evonne Goolagong Cawley presenting the trophy to Ash Barty... I can't even see properly coz I'm friggen crine so hard, what a moment. #AusOpen #BartyParty

@fahad_s_ali My thick, curly Indian hair loves Pureology. I assume Sukin is silicone free which actually doesn’t work for hair that needs some slip from their products. Not all silicones are created equally and not all of them are bad.

@thevirdas BBC Sounds - The Coming Storm, Sounds like a cult, Sweet Bobby, Maintenance Phase ( I LOVE this one).

@ivadixit Although this is based on the assumption that she would have some oversight of the creative vision accompanying her words. Maybe she didn’t and she’s just as stunned as we are…

[Alpa @AlpaB_]

@ivadixit The writer of the episodes first name is Rachna. She knew.

@bhakthi It’s not uncommon to ditch the dupatta. It seems to be a bit of a trend currently judging by what many Indian celebs are wearing to events and functions.

[Alpa @AlpaB_]

@ritamoraruk They should’ve called it a lehenga but I didn’t hate the 🚬 - I thought it was an interesting juxtaposition of Seema balancing who she is with the traditions she has grown up with, which is very common for diaspora, and it’s something many of us have struggled with.
