Even if you give up lattes, it'll still take you 270+ years to save enough to get a house in London. Pleasure to work with @nathanbickerton on some truly depressing @VICEUK data journalism. Take a peek! https://t.co/Vx3OwjDhfr

1/4 THREAD ABOUT MY GRIM EXPERIENCE OF AN ABORTION IN UK. Overwhelmed services meant I was near to cutoff for surgical abortion which are far riskier. It was suggested I travel 100s of miles to Liverpool. Services are broken - government must rectify this. https://t.co/MYti0aVktb

For @restofworld, me, @megatobin1 and @ChenWQ45 spent months investigating Shein, the most successful ultra fast fashion company on the planet https://t.co/XMbcs6ODtV

Seeing the carbon breakdown by country is fascinating, watching the remaining carbon budget moving faster and faster towards zero is terrifying

[Libby Ryan @libbyroams]

Friendly reminder to not comment on changes in people's bodies or (and this should just be so obvious) tell them your unsolicited theories/guesses of why they might have put on weight 🙃

“Most citizens don’t think twice about donating clothes because the second-hand trade has been marketed to them as charity and as recycling when it’s neither.”

We looked at textile waste, and where your clothing goes after you donate it

[Tina Vasquez @TheTinaVasquez]

Any journalist worth a damn writes “pregnant people” when reporting broadly on reproductive health, rights, and justice issues—just FYI.

[Emily Murnane @emily_murnane]

I’m sorry but people wearing masks on airplanes and public transit fuckin rules and we should do it forever I love that shit

[Caroline Kitchener @CAKitchener]

What does IUD insertion feel like?

"Shards of glass."

"Hell on earth"

"I don’t think I’d ever felt pain like that before."

130+ people shared their IUD experiences with @thelilynews. Most wrote to tell us how much it hurt. https://t.co/LMlIQXu68X

[Libby Ryan @libbyroams]

Oh and he lowered his mask to shout about how he had a right to vape in my home so that's a super fun 'freedom day' bonus since I'm not yet double vaxxed

[Libby Ryan @libbyroams]

Love experiencing sexism in my own home: I politely asked a plumber to stop vaping in my kitchen. He raised his voice to tell me why it's his right to keep going to the point that I had to threaten to get my husband to tell him. And then he stopped.

[Molly Hensley-Clancy @mollyhc]

I love sports, but also, now the game is over and we're all talking about the inevitability of racist abuse and domestic violence in the wake of this. So yeah, could use some fixing I think

[Cassie @Cassiesmyth]

get in girls, we’re spending the night reporting the disgusting comments on Saka’s Instagram

[Libby Ryan @libbyroams]

Me: I don't really care about sports.

Also me after watching like five games and learning @BukayoSaka87 exists: I love football

[Libby Ryan @libbyroams]

This is May, who @OwenPinnell and I adopted and kept her old name, but I've decided she's clearly named for the May Queen she obviously is

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

Human rights activist Karim Ennarah is currently jailed in Egypt, along with several colleagues from @EIPR. Karim’s wife, documentarian @Jeky_Kelly, is urging for him to be released: “He’s the kind of person that Egypt should be building its future around, and not jailing.”

[Libby Ryan @libbyroams]

I haven't met Karim but I do know Jess, and my heart breaks for her having to fight for her husband's freedom just months after they were married
