@jamie_chan_ @metesefauysal @olivier_klein HBSC has a single item in most waves about weight - but it's a discrepancy one (ie. Do kids think their weight is much too light to much too heavy?). Some earlier waves have an appearance item rather than weight (better imo). USoc teens data a good UK-only option.

Is it April Fool's Day or did someone at Strava know I'm lecturing on gender stereotypes in sport and exercise next week and want to give me an up-to-date example????!

@jamie_chan_ You code it, Jamie. You just... code it.

Please don't buy David Walliams' books for your kids. There are so many wonderful children's authors who have integrity and empathy - don't give your money to that creepy man.

We hope everyone enjoys watching #TheRingsOfPower tonight. But before you do, let's reflect on their seriously harmful casting advert that seeks "funky-looking people" who have visible differences such as #AcneScars, large eyes and #FacialLines.

@jamie_chan_ Try putting it at the end, just after you've emailed someone about a problem. Makes it sound even more sarcastic 😅

Dear @BBCr4today dismayed to hear your news briefing describe Omicron as being “from Southern Africa”, when it should be described as “first detected by South African doctors”. One description (inaccurately) stigmatises part of Africa, another champions African doctors expertise.
