25.5 hours. Once again on hold and got disconnected. Unbelievable. @Expedia don’t seem to care that we are literally stranded with a baby and a young child.

[Francesca Beckett @cescabeckett]

Now into 24 hours stranded at Heathrow with a child and baby thanks to a mistake by @Expedia. We were promised a call by midday and never received one. The lack of care and humanity is staggering. We just want to get home! Can anyone help us?

@guardian It also sounds like he’s only trying to relax her to get her in the mood, which I imagine feels deeply shitty for her

@AngryBlackLady Search for the ‘travel hack’ luggage, I think you can get it on Amazon? It was designed by a travel blogger who, obviously, travels a LOT and has all of these features where you’re like ‘omg that makes so much sense’

@chuckthomasuk I wonder why her energy levels dip. Such a mystery…

@KaseyKlimes Same as London. Visiting and living are not the same!

@PADI My mum made me… 🤣

@missemmamm I don’t get what’s wrong with this? I think it looks nice! There seems to be a weird snobbishness behind it, as though it’s silly to want your bookshelf to be pleasing to the eye. Admittedly if you’re only buying books because of the colour I’m getting my snob on and judging 🤣

@LauraMarkis @sickdangles23 @ascended_trader @GAinvestigate @anothercohen I also find it’s super seasonal. During summer I love waking earlier, whereas when it’s winter it’s just awful when you get out of bed and know it won’t be light for 2 more hours

[Francesca Beckett @cescabeckett]

@sickdangles23 @LauraMarkis @ascended_trader @GAinvestigate @anothercohen Again, great that you’ve found something that works for you. It doesn’t work for everyone. If you’re waking up before your natural wake time you will likely achieve less.

[Francesca Beckett @cescabeckett]

@sickdangles23 @LauraMarkis @ascended_trader @GAinvestigate @anothercohen Dude, I go to bed at 9:30 and get up at 5:40. I’m an early riser! It works for me, but I know it doesn’t work for everyone else. Provided you’re getting enough sleep and completing what you need to complete I don’t see why it matter what hours you do those things in…

[Francesca Beckett @cescabeckett]

@sickdangles23 @LauraMarkis @ascended_trader @GAinvestigate @anothercohen The negative impacts of long term night shifts are well known and studied, but sleeping say 1-9am is totally different. It’s also not enough to say ‘this is my experience so it must be universal’. N=1 isn’t persuasive scientifically

[Francesca Beckett @cescabeckett]

@sickdangles23 @LauraMarkis @ascended_trader @GAinvestigate @anothercohen Umm…yeah online articles aren’t the same as scientific studies dude.

@oneunderscore__ It says a lot that I genuinely can’t tell if this is a parody account or not 🥲

[Francesca Beckett @cescabeckett]

@MichaelBaggs It always baffles me when people dismiss someone reaching out about - or attempting - to suicide as a cry for help. As though crying out for help is a bad thing?

[Francesca Beckett @cescabeckett]

@LauraMarkis @sickdangles23 @ascended_trader @GAinvestigate @anothercohen Yeah I’d love to see the studies too 👀

[Francesca Beckett @cescabeckett]

@ascended_trader @GAinvestigate @anothercohen Agreed! I hate the notion that unless you start early you’re lazy. It’s well known these days that everyone performs optimally during different times of the day. You’re not better than anyone because you naturally rise early..

@BrandyLJensen Don’t know what you mean I love waiting 10 minutes for an element to preheat
