It’s dark outside but light inside.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah from my corner of the world to yours.

2024 brought me many momentous leaps, and one of them was connecting with each of you.

Onward

This is one of the most delightful examples of what happens when you look beyond the obvious, see familiar people with fresh eyes, and listen to new perspectives. Made me smile today.

Not only is today's date a palindrome, it's also an ambigram. You can read it left to right, right to left, and also upside down #nerdalert

Getting my head down on research analysis and I gotta say, 10 minutes of Tetris and The Orb on headphones is still the only way to focus. (chewing Twitter, however, might not be)

“If there’s a general surprise, it is that it seems to be quite hard for places outside of North Asia to actually get close to achieving their potential.” Economist Jim O’Neill reflects on 20 years of the BRICs, on “Money Talks” https://t.co/4ZGjG2KpCD

@ThomJames @Amelia_Torode Yesterday's episode was about my childhood icon: Calamity Jane. Highly recommend that one.

This may not matter to anyone else, but my 7y.o. says Hide & Seek is her favorite song because she likes @ImogenHeap's layered voice, and @zoecello's Forte sounds like hope (she's right). Her astute analysis is all that makes sense today. Ladies, keep playing your truth.

I’m often asked to explain American anti-vaxx belief systems, and simply cannot. Get yourself vaccine, people. They’re free now. And this isn’t even close to over. @NYTimes https://t.co/OnGZg8XxcF

I told the kiddos when they got tired on our run to listen out for the person cheering them on. I am *totally* preaching what I need to hear, myself.

When I get frustrated with the slow pace of what I think #progress should be, this piece reminds me that big structural change takes time. Crucially, you’ve got to get buy in from people who think differently from you. https://t.co/MxZzos5on0

@SisterShawnRM @MidwifeAmy1 Weighing in here as a mother who birthed a breech twin 2. That only happened bc I was adamant & educated. Other Women’s stories gave me confidence when OBs tried to take it away. @SisterShawnRM brought empathy and breech skill. So, please don’t give up. 🙏🏼

According to my son (7), I am not American, I am Americish. He’s clear he is English and his Dad is Indian. How come I’m the only one whose identifier ends in an “ish”? I shall now obsess over this relentlessly until I have a headache.

@ldebett I don’t think I remember being so delighted to have aches and chills because that means it’s working

If coronavirus has normalised flexible working for some employers, then we may come out ahead. #futureofwork #flex https://t.co/A2moPjRKF4

@ldebett At a smaller scale, my hack is 6 litres of fresh milk in the fridge + another 6 litres of UHT milk in the cupboard 🐮

@SisterShawnRM You know, our breech boy often proudly tells people “I was born dancing!” And I still share our story with other expectant moms at Midwives House. 💪🏻
