@Philippa_Perry I work in a cafe with much younger colleagues; something I've noticed is that not only are they not able to have a conversation, they also struggle to read body language and to recognise banter.

So, this afternoon I got home to find a lovely letter from @northernassist telling me about how they wanted to prosecute me for using the below ticket to travel on the specified route at a peak time.
I paid £1.90 less than the fare they say I should have paid.
A thread 🧵

You haven't seen complexity in art until you've seen this 600-year-old painting.

It's so detailed that modern medicine has been able to diagnose this man's exact type of blindness.

And that's where things get mind-bendingly strange — this whole thing is an illusion... 🧵

How many domestic abusers have you released early from prison this week? How many rape charges were dropped just today? Mate you wanna knock a door, this week met three people whose cars were knicked and got no response.

If you’re a criminal, @RishiSunak and his pals have made it as easy as possible for you by slashing police numbers, cutting prosecutors, selling off courts, creating record backlogs, forcing victims to wait *years* for a trial and making the prisons too full to take any more.

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

Currently releasing domestic abusers early from prison, overseen worst rape charging rates in decades, rape victims waiting up to 5 years to get to court while accused walks free and you don't monitor them at all. You've not done a single recommendation from child abuse inquiry.

I am not sure if anyone cares
what a 27 year old with autism
and special needs has to say,
but I want to help inspire others.
I lost both my parents when
I was 19. I was attacked
and bullied.
But it hasn’t broken me.

Can you retweet this
if you care what I have to say?

A special happy #InternationalWomensDayto all the quiet, invisible women carers out there, who day in day out provide love, complicated and exhausting personal care and companionship to people who need them. Society would crumble without you. ❤️🌟x

[Catherine Mayer @catherine_mayer]

It’s #TimetoAct this #InternationalWomensDay. Ask your MP to commit to supporting Diana Johnson’s amendment to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales. If you are an MP, pledge that support publicly. #IWD2024

“The arts are not the cherry on the cake — they are the cake.”

Opening a debate in the House of Lords yesterday, Melvyn Bragg said the UK should realise the full potential of the arts to transform our economy and society.

What a loss. A titan of a poet, a lyrical revolutionary, a proud Brummie, the kindest and loveliest soul every time we met. Love and condolences to his family. #RIPBenjaminZephaniah

The Dubliners and The Pogues play "The Irish Rover".

One of the best live performances you will ever see.
