I’ve heard the strait of hormuz is nothing of the sort.
…
I’ll get my coat.
Also watch ‘As Good As It Gets’ and this scene in particular.
One of my favourite films.
Reader: this is a tasteless joke and should be read as such 🙃👌

If you say “I support X” and then follow it with “In everything but Y” then you evidently don’t support X.
It’s like maths or logic or something.
Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
I know better and still hadn't done it.
I used to do the price rise strategy comms for big telco orgs
I guess pivoting to advocacy is atoning for my sins.
From one ADHD person to another. Avoid the ADHD tax.
I believe in your ability to move off of a rolling. Change your phone contract and pay half the price you're paying now for the same exact thing.
I finally did this yesterday.
Today on IWD we celebrate the achievements, resilience and strength of women and girls everywhere – from local women in Jarrow and Gateshead East leading the way in our communities to women nationally such as our Lionesses who have inspired a generation of girls into the game.
Join us next week if you’re looking for inspiration and tools to do something during Trans+ History Week 🫡

This looks really interesting. It's a virtual event and anyone can view it... you just need to sign up 👇🏻
It’s important to me that we build understanding of our gender diverse history across all political parties.
If you are involved in party politics and would like to put on a similar event we’d be happy to support the development of that with you.
Please share with anyone involved in and around Green Party politics.
Looking forward to growing the understanding of our gender diverse history and exploring how that knowledge is fundamental to our liberation.

So we now have that curiosity answered.
Adding 2,000 new members a day since by-election! Quite remarkable.
I love Bridgerton. It’s so camp and trashy but also completely consuming and existential.
Queen Charlotte and Lady Danbury’s relationship just gets me 🥹

Super excited about this, what a brilliant collab idea!
my first piece (cowritten with Catriona Innes) in a print magazine comes out today: we interviewed 13 people, mostly trans women, about how the Supreme Court ruling has affected them for Cosmo UK
