@Paula_Griffin65 @LeakeStArches Ah, thank you, Paula. I'm so touched my work spoke to you in that way. What an honour.

Today's @HelloFreshUK order is extremely so.

Wonderful interview with @MichaelRosenYes about his recent experiences.

A friend has started an initiative to gift schools with racially-diverse books; To make their bookshelves more representative of the rich society our children are part of. Take a look.

4% of children’s books published in 2018 had a protagonist who was not white. This doesn’t reflect our society. After speaking to teachers across London, we recognised an issue, their need for more inclusive material but a lack of funding. Enter Books from Herbie #Diversity #blm

Just to highlight the sheer insanity of this:

The govt’s “NHS” Covid app only wants to know about Serco/private testing.

If you had a test in an NHS or PHE lab, you literally cannot enter the result on the app.

@MattHancock how can you possibly justify this?

In my ⁦@TEDTalks⁩ , I give a mini-lesson on how our stories shape our lives—so it's important to pay attention to how we shape our stories. 📝

I truly wish more people connected over their mutual experiences of pain rather than divide themselves based on identity and group membership— as though the experience of anxiety, fear, depression, and sadness feels different depending on your political or religious beliefs.

Genuinely scared at the amount of charities in trouble atm. Henning Wehn said charity is "a failure of governments' responsibilities." Inclined to agree- esp. in areas like kids' cancer research. Short term, it's clear the future is dark without support. #WorldCancerResearchDay

‘Can We Cure Kids’ Cancer?’ on @Channel4 now features the story of a little girl in need of a stem cell transplant.

For any families going through a similar experience, we have a wealth of useful resources, which you can access for free here: https://t.co/4vM3p9mT7N

My 'outards' have reached the same 'heatedness' as my innards.

Watched a sporting documentary last night. The crowd scenes were so retro.

I just admitted to my close female friend from college that I had a crush on her in college, and she said she liked me too and wondered why I never said anything. I fell off my chair! You mean I could have actually dated her?! Open yourself and be vulnerable folks. Life is short.

[cassia thomas @cassiathomas]

@CostaCoffee Thank you. I will do. 😊🙏

[cassia thomas @cassiathomas]

@CostaCoffee Hiya. I was given an e-giftcard for use during my little boys' cancer treatment. The branch at the hospital couldn't accept e-gift cards and, as his treatment was over a year, the points have elapsed. Is there way you might kindly reinstate them, please? Many thanks
