2FA is a complete failure when your phone is stolen, your bank accounts are cleared out via fraud AND you have no access to another phone. Thanks @LloydsBank for being totally useless and accusing your customers of an inside job.

@anya_ryan @guardianculture Respectfully, I don't think you understand the nuance of West African culture and how we cannot be considered successful if Black trauma is not front and centre of a play. This play was a delight and represented the conflict of growing up as a black "successful" woman in the UK.

So, You're Unemployed. Now What?

A little piece I wrote for MR PORTER, which I hope is a little helpful and at least brings a smile to people currently in between jobs / looking for their next opportunity. #redundancy #masslayoffs

Such a joy to write this piece for the brilliant @whetstone_mag commissioned by editor extraordinaire @vidya83 We all helped mum make these pithas & I took a photo of it set on mum’s handwoven Shital Pati (a Sylheti woven mat), #pitha #bangladeshifood

Yep.

you can’t reason with someone who’s already decided to misunderstand you. even if your questions and explanations are kind and logical, they find ways to flip narratives & place blame on you. some people are unreasonable on purpose so they don’t have to be emotionally vulnerable

In our twisted capitalist world, the ones with the abundance mindset always win out- because they get to learn and feed off the scarcity minded peoples fears and inevitable mistakes. I’m seeing this play out in real time and it’s WILD.
