Great to chat to @BBCNuala earlier this week on @BBCWomansHour about my story on Deprivation of Liberty orders. Very generous of them to give it a solid amount of time. 👌🏽

[Alexi Mostrous @AlexiMostrous]

All I can say is Thank God (or Jesus) for @MarinaHyde. What a column. Not least because it mentions Bear Grylls’ views on tax, something I touched on in 2012….

@naomicfisher Only in the UK. Grateful my kids are at fantastic free state school that is like a European school and has no uniform…

[Elizabeth(Gig)Thomas @gig_thomas]

@thoroughlygood @TheCBSO This resonated with me Jon. A few friends & I are trying to set up a mini concert series…. The word that got me was ‘disrupt’…. Love it.

[Meera Selva @MeeraSelva1]

I'm looking for a truly impressive project director for this flagship, multi-year EU-funded programme for @Internews to support journalism globally. It is designed to rethink media development and is a chance to make a real change.

@thoroughlygood But funny!

[Elizabeth(Gig)Thomas @gig_thomas]

Important to hear these stories…

[Ashley John-Baptiste @AshleyJBaptiste]

Started recording the audio version of my book. Reading it out loud is heavy but necessary. In this clip, I recount when I was made to leave the foster home I thought would be my forever home. A moment like this is universal to so many in care. Link in bio to pre-order book. 👊🏽

[Fran Wilson 🎹🖋 @CrossEyedPiano]

If you remember this book, please share your memories about learning the recorder at school, playing at home, playing in ensembles etc. Also how it encouraged your interest in music, if applicable (I'm researching an article).

[Elizabeth(Gig)Thomas @gig_thomas]

@jess_hawkins123 Wow that one is! Had to rewatch that few times!

[Elizabeth(Gig)Thomas @gig_thomas]

If you’re still thinking about @JasminKParis …. Read this #bm100

It was the ‘cello that got me there. And it was the beats fuelled me. Incredible evening @BarbicanCentre with the unmistakable @Abel_Cellist

[Elizabeth(Gig)Thomas @gig_thomas]

@AlexiMostrous @adam_waldman @ApplePodcasts @Spotify @tortoise @XAMGreenwood I’m slightly obsessed with this series…

[Steven Isserlis @StevenIsserlis]

Beethoven d otd 197 years ago... A cliché, I know but true! His music becomes more and more important as one gets older. The incredible, unbreakable spirit - sometimes tragic, never depressing; the optimism, the joy, the humour, the tenderness. All that is best in humanity.
