I am aware that I'm mostly tweeting to the online equivalent of an empty room. It's okay, I can take it. I used to be in a college band. #amediting

TIMES:

The one building in Walton that provides escape, education, access to information, and support for people who have fuck all, and the solution is to burn it down.

This is a metaphor for the zeitgeist and events of this week: the assault on hope.

Absolute chaos in the ‘hood last night.

@SarahVPearse Cannot put it down! Thank you for writing!! ♥️

I'm going to be in Ealing on 5th Oct!

This one's extra special for 3 reasons:

1. Southall, in Ealing borough, is where many of the movements I discuss took place
2. Books and access to knowledge were so important to the movements
3. I lived in Ealing and LOVED this library

@merseyrail Mine too. The audacity. 😂

Shoutout to all the amazing staff at @merseyrail for helping me track this little villain when he hopped on a train to Ormskirk and hobo-ed around the rail network for three long weeks! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m so relieved he’s home. 😻 #CatsAreCriminals

[Silversmith Edits 🇺🇦💔📚🌻🌱 @silversmithpro]

@merseyrail So do I! I’d love to see the world through his eyes - he’s fascinated by the weirdest of things. 😆 Then again, it’s hair-raising enough just to know where he goes; perhaps ignorance is bliss! Never a dull moment…

[Silversmith Edits 🇺🇦💔📚🌻🌱 @silversmithpro]

@chamiltonbbc Yes! There are (or were) many in Kyiv - entire mini-cities going in beneath the streets, with little stores and boutiques and colourful murals and people playing the piano and violin and dancing. They’re quite magical. (I don’t know how they’re faring right now, of course.)

[Silversmith Edits 🇺🇦💔📚🌻🌱 @silversmithpro]

@BeckaGabriella @glennthegreat @rebecacole @ask_aubry I’ve experienced that too. It was awful. (He was also a terrible person, so I sometimes like to think it was my body’s way of warning me when my brain wasn’t listening.)

Women are ‘always complaining about pain’, so doctors just tune it out. Here’s a conversation I have several times a year…

Doc: You should try to exercise more.
Me: I really want to, but I’m in so much pain.
Doc: Oh.
Me: …
Doc: Anything else?
Me: I… no. Thanks. Bye.

Water privatisation is a con.

@NFieldsend @Nataliealana87 Crete is a good bet too - that’s the first place I ever went alone, and I’ve been going back (alone) for 20 years. Avoid the tourist traps/party towns and pick somewhere slightly inland or just outside a city, then have the most blissful time wandering at your own pace. ♥️

I can only aspire to speak with such eloquence when so impassioned. 👏

[Dr Claire Stewart-Hall💙 @Clairerising]

So this happened….They made me wait 50 minutes to speak so by the time I got there…

Last time I checked it wasn’t any refugee on a small boat that allowed my energy firm to grotesquely bloat my energy bill so I had to make difficult decisions on what essential life-affirming equipment my disabled daughter could do without.

Attenborough delivers the hammer blow. “Britain as a whole is one of the most nature-depleted places in the world,” the UK gov approved the “emergency” use of a banned insecticide; a single teaspoon of thiamethoxam is enough to kill 1.25 billion bees.

International Criminal Court issues warrant of arrest for Putin. The historic decision, from which historical responsibility will begin.

@KallMeMayBee Hang in there. I know it’s absolutely draining, but you WILL come out the other side of this, and things WILL get better. I’ve been there too. You’ve got this. 🙏

@moontwerk Shoutout for The Wedding Singer! A tear-jerking 80s extravaganza with a sweet storyline and a can’t-stop-smiling, weepy-happy ending. Also very funny in parts. 😆🪩✨
