my mom once showed me the house my parents bought for 70k fresh out of school. she was like “okay but you have to understand we were only making 70k per year combined!”
i was like “you’re telling me you bought a house for the same amount as your joint annual income at age 25?”
I currently work for a UK based startup. Not having an office means we have more budget for stuff that matters.

Frankly this is a dumb policy. It is anti business & anti growth.

That’s why I will be a voice for common sense and compassion on asylum. My article for the guardian here: https://t.co/ElrKwEK5xX

i hate doctors so much you literally have to manipulate them into doing their jobs. i’ve found doctors take me seriously when i act like i am unintelligent and uninformed. they don’t like patients using medical terms. only they are allowed to know those words
○ buying books because you love reading
○ buying books to support artists
◉ buying books to feel something, then hoarding them like a dragon guarding its unread treasure.
For the vast majority of people (except Ukrainians and Hongkongers) there is NO WAY to claim asylum in the UK without coming by small boat
The only way to stop people making dangerous boat crossings to the UK is by creating safe and managed routes
