@JohnBarrowman @KamalaHarris You are quite correct, but you could have credited David Sedaris for the analogy.

@katherinehelen_ @CILIPinfo Congratulations! I know how much hard work you'll have put into it - I'm thrilled that it's paid off for you!

When the UK’s PM @rishisunak refuses to hold the super-wealthy accountable, it leads to a healthcare system like the one we have in the US. Or even the system in the time of Charles Dickens.
Sunak should just #TaxTheRich or change his slogan to "Make the UK Sick Again."

@RachelWardbooks Yes. My partner thought he'd ordered 8 sprouts and ONE sprout 'tree' online (in case either was out of stock), but actually ordered eight sprout trees, and ONE sprout (lovingly bagged, as you can see). That was a fun Christmas.

STOLEN INSTRUMENT
Today my beloved flute was taken. It was in a beige rucksack, stolen between Platform 3 at Farringdon and East Croydon Station, on the 9.34 train to Brighton.
Flute is a Brannen silver Millenium 5320 with a silver Lafin headjoint w/gold lip plate. Please share!

#uxlibs has definitely begun. It’s Housekeeping with Ange, one of the highlights of the conference. What jokes about toilets is she going to crack this year? [Picture of Ange] ⁦@angefitzpatrick⁩

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries
