At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.

A thread about my favorite story from running OMCB....

Gutted! The final doughnut had no filling.
I genuinely tore it open after the first bite looking for it. 😭

"If you're under 25 your brain isn't fully developed, so you can't be trusted to make informed decisions"

I'm seeing this a LOT lately, especially today. And it's utter guff, based on hearsay, misunderstandings of neuroscience, or wilful ignorance.

Why? I'll tell you why

@Tesco in the last few weeks at least 3 of my regular dairy free purchases have disappeared from the shelves of my local Tesco. Have you stopped stocking the kids yoghurts, elmlea plant and applewood vegan cheese forever?!

@sthelenscouncil
Tried to report that half of our street appears to have not had their recycling collected but just got an error.
Can they please send the van around again tomorrow if there is so much still to collect? Food waste too.

Fantastic engaging morning at a @STHLibraries event with @dan__worsley both boys captivated!

Thanks to @thatsafineidea for photography 😊

@cineworld looking at the website for Friday 3.3.23 in Warrington, the only film listed is Creed iii. Is this correct? A 13 screen cinema with only one film on?

Went down a rabbit hole for cross-industry innovations (when one industry borrows from another).

Here are 8 gems.

1. James Dyson made a bagless vacuum after seeing how sawmills used cyclone force to eject sawdust.

@thatsafineidea I was reading about the shooting in America at the time - I don't use twitter more than a couple of times a month to check a few specific accounts!

[Liz @itiselizabeth]

Ah no. I just spent 5 minutes scrolling my timeline and yeah now I'm sad.

Dunno when I'll be back on Twitter tbh. If you want to keep in contact and don't already follow my Insta then lemme know. I'll probably not be joining a new social platform any time soon.

[Liz @itiselizabeth]

This should have said tweeting.

Edit tweet.

[Liz @itiselizabeth]

Imagine trying regularly so this didn't come off as only self serving?

Anyway, I use Wild deodorant and this is a referral link where you can get a decent discount. Might as well use Twitter for something

one time in college a professor spent 90 minutes talking about an example scenario that involved beef and i thought nothing of it until several weeks later when i found out that my classmate had made a minute long compilation of all 125 times he said "beef" in one lecture
