Happy 1st birthday, Better Left Unsaid! ❤️ 🙏🏽 I know barely anyone read it & the publisher didn’t GAF, but I am so proud of this book; I pushed myself to write something different from my 1st, experiment linguistically & stylistically, & honour my heritage https://t.co/g1gDGeDnzj

@BBCRosAtkins Good luck!

@BBCRosAtkins There should be an overnight National express bus from Plymouth to London Victoria if you’re keen

@JulesDrmnn @AndyMcNib Lol maybe, but I still feel more like an intruder than a part of that particular citizenship. Once I cast my vote for a general election, that’ll be it.

@JulesDrmnn @AndyMcNib First time someone describes me as “British-Italian” 🥹

The UK has doubled down on oil drilling—and claimed it's all part of its net-zero plan https://t.co/i7Lq8IPQ0A

This is really frustrating.

As journalists, we rely on paper-thin levels of trust with our readers. One mistake, or failure to provide adequate context, and we lose people. We put our reputations at stake for even the shortest blog post. 1/

G/O media is making a bad decision that shows utter contempt for the work of us journalists and, frankly, of reader’s intellect, too

@carltonreid @tedthornhill I’d swap around cabs and busses. Most bus drivers are watchful of cyclists, I feel pretty safe when there’s a bus behind me or next to me. Cab drivers however don’t hesitate to cut in front of you if they need to pick someone up, not indicating, and then blocking your way

Companies need to understand what's happening right now. You cannot mollify bigots whose primary desire is to be angry. You've already lost them. They're gone. If you cave to them, you're sacrificing the loyalty of other consumers for a sad, small group that will never like you.

Climate experts say the floods that sent rivers of mud tearing through towns in Italy's northeast this week are the result of extreme weather phenomena that are becoming increasingly frequent around the world. https://t.co/63kR2YeVWn

[Sofia Lotto Persio @sofiaellepi]

@FiftyandBitchy @ScottNover @qz Absolutely, and that's addressed pretty early on in our chat. Hope you give it a listen!

[Scott Nover @ScottNover]

We have a plastic problem, and the burden is often all on the consumer to recycle correctly. (What even are those numbers?) On the @qz Obsession Podcast, @sofiaellepi and I discussed simple innovations that could help alleviate this environmental crisis. https://t.co/Cr2TptbMiD
