So fed up of hearing variations of "I first realised women should be treated as human beings when I had a daughter" at gender equality events. Doesn't make you woke, dude.
A few things about my interview with @AlexHorne (https://t.co/mU3EXB5jXw) that you might not know:
🟣 I was having a bad autism day. I wasn’t comfortable in my own skin, I could feel every fibre of my clothes, every bead of sweat, every heartbeat, every itch. Everything!
🟣It was my first time doing an on camera interview since I gained weight and lost a few of my teeth. I was not confident on camera.
🟣I had just returned from holiday in Spain covered in mosquito bites.
🟣My anxiety was being particularly mean this day. Telling myself that I didn’t deserve this; that Alex would see right through me and the interview would be awful.
Generally I was not in a good place this day. But I powered through and ended up having one of the best interviews I think I’ve ever done.
Alex was an absolute saint. He deserves all the medals.
He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.
This @bmj_latest investigation reveals that more than half the members of the UK government’s Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) have conflicts of interest with food companies including Nestlé, Tate & Lyle, and the world’s largest ice cream producer: Unilever🧵
*TIP FOR MEN
study up on what the "mental load" is and why repeatedly asking your female partner what you, a grown-ass adult, should do is NOT healthy communication.
it's men infantilizing themselves to the point of requiring a chore chart, minus the elmo stickers.

They don’t. Believe me. Why do you talk such utter shite? And why are you morphing into a sovereign individual
anarcho-capitalist narcissist with fascist leanings? Some journey you’ve been on.
Spare me the big boohoo about the cost of immigration when you're out there on the streets burning down libraries and police stations and flooding the courts and costing the tax payers more money than any immigrant you've ever met.
Tracey Thorn, beautiful words as always:
"Some friends asked me why I wanted a tattoo at all, and I realised it was [...] about wanting to be in control. This was something I was doing to my body rather than having something done to it."

In the UK, more people died directly as a result of austerity measures than from the Covid pandemic.
