it’s ocd awareness week and here’s a super easy way you can support your friends with ocd: DO NOT interact with tweets that say “like for [good thing]” or “scrolling past means [bad thing]” etc.
I do not want the rule of 6 to be lifted for Christmas, if it’s needed. It wasn’t lifted for the UK’s Muslim community hours before Eid. I want to live in a society that treats all religions and races equally.
Christmas is not more important than Eid. It’s either safe or not.
The "middle class people suddenly realise how bad universal credit is" stuff is interesting but almost gives too much benefit of the doubt to some people: plenty of people did know how bad it was, they just didn't care because it didn't affect them.
One difference between Ferrier and Cummings is that the FM cannot "sack" an MP while the PM can definitely "sack" the adviser he employs. Another is that Nicola is furious and makes it plain while Boris and his weasels circled the wagons with mad excuses or guilty silence.
Fuck every single person telling Chrissy Teigen she needs to keep this private, not post pictures and not share any details with the world. Stop stigmatizing pregnancy and infant loss. This needs to be talked about, women need to know they aren’t alone.
OCD is not an adjective. It's a very real mental health problem.

What’s happening isn’t your fault. You’ve made sacrifices, while given advice that’s been inconsistent at best and contradictory at worst. People in power have set a bad example. I’m sorry you’re being asked to do more and disgusted you’re being blamed. #covidbriefing
