Went to see The Magic Faraway Tree this weekend and… when did the cinema get so loud?! I could feel every single sound and vibration and was constantly on edge. Thank god for headphones.

37-year-old Emma Bernard used to make the effort to cleanse, tone and moisturise twice a day – but then they changed what you’re supposed to do to include all sorts of confusing serums and milky crap – and also she’s very, very tired.

Jesus shared his pronouns.

Wishing a joyful Easter to everyone celebrating! With genocide, imperialist war and untold suffering across the world, including in the very lands where the Easter story takes place, its message of new hope and renewal has never felt more timely 🌷

Jesus has re-entered the chat

I’m coming out of my cave and I’ve been doing just fine. Happy Easter, everyone 🐣 🪺 ⛪️ ✝️

And we know that the £16m our Government has just spent on continuing the failed project of border violence will do nothing to stop more tragedies like this. More police hostility at the border means more dangerous departures and smaller, more crowded boats. Only safe routes can stop the deaths.

Two more people died in our Channel today. We don't know what they were fleeing. We don't know what their hopes or dreams were. We don't even know their names. We do know they deserved better. We know safe routes could have saved them. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The great thing about the dial-up noise was it really felt like the Internet was trying its hardest for you.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Anyway

To celebrate Easter i will be betraying one of you

Yet people consumed with hate live on this planet utterly convinced only *they* have a divine right to exist and that others unlike them must die, and they do not want peace under any circumstances

‘From the beginning of time, there have been two flames burning in the human heart. The flame of anger against injustice, and the flame of hope you can build a better world.’ Tony Benn was born on this day in 1925.

It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.

Straight men telling their straight male friends and acquaintances that they look hot, in a platonic way, will solve the loneliness crisis. Compliment your bros! Make them feel handsome and loved!

Self-identified feminist straight lads supportively liking women's thirst traps and nudes On Here is absolutely fine as long as they're also supportively liking men's thirst traps and nudes, boys need to start supporting boys

Reform saying horrible far-right things should stop surprising us. This is what far-right politics are and this is what far-right parties believe, even if they pretend not to. What should shock us is that they can be covered in any other way than a threat to democracy and many communities

‘I like being like you.’ This video says something simple but important: autistic people don’t need fixing, and they don’t need to be pushed to “fit in”. They need to be understood, accepted and respected as they are. Make the effort to understand someone else’s world. #WorldAutismAcceptanceMonth

In total, at least 104 people have died in the Mediterranean over the past three days after shipwrecks off the coasts of Tunisia, Greece, and Turkey. Our thoughts are with them and their families. We will keep being present at sea and speaking out until lives are no longer lost.

⚫️Another tragic and preventable deaths in the central Med‼️ Today, 19 bodies were brought to Lampedusa after a rescue by Italian Coast Guard. They likely died from hypothermia and Europe’s policy of deterrence, obstruction of rescues and lack of safe routes.

Also - Grenfell wasn’t a ‘tragic event’ that simply happened. It was a systemic failure driven by corporate greed and institutional neglect, and it was entirely preventable.

I know it’s Reform, but I still had to double-check this wasn’t an April Fool’s joke 😯

Dyscalculia, dyspraxia, and dysgraphia are less widely discussed than dyslexia, but they're just as important. It's day 4 of our Neurodiversity Celebration Week series: What is...? 👋 Today, we are focusing on these lesser-discussed Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs)! 🧵

happy trans day of visibility to all of the incredible trans people in my life. the world is better with you in it and I'm never going to stop fighting for you, because your fight is my fight. we're in this together.

I am no more lonely than the loon on the pond that laughs so loud.

See, this is exactly why having a social checklist to go through before and after every interaction is so important 😊

On Saturday, half a million people came together not just to march against the far-right. But for a different type of society based on unity, respect and where we do what we did on the weekend: turn up to support each other. Thank you Imran Yusuf for telling us what Saturday's march meant to him.

Just a reminder to any of my followers who are trans or non-binary: your identity is valid, your life matters, you are loved, you are valued, and you deserve respect and safety – just like everyone else 🫶🏻

If one more person asks me to jump through multiple hoops and provide very specific documents, dated within an absurdly specific timeframe and in a very specific format, I swear I’ll have a full-on meltdown and drop out of society to live in the wilderness as a unicorn.

I don’t cry during the week like a normal person. I save up all my tears & then release them in an 50 minute emotional avalanche every Friday. Therapy is basically my weekly cry subscription service. It’s just me, a box of tissues, & my therapist watching me unravel like it’s a live performance.

For the past 6 months, the APPG has been undertaking an inquiry into the rising rates of TB in the UK. Ahead of World TB Day, we launched a report outlining our findings and recommendations for @ukparliament.parliament.uk to adopt. Read the report here: appg-tb.org.uk/wp-content/u...

I will never stop being horrified when I hear about a whole cluster of TB cases among young adults, and an older person who lived in the same block, all dying from a treatable disease in London in 2026. Very few survivors. One person lost a parent & sibling 🤯 The single common factor: deprivation.

Wow. Scammers are really mean now??

Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza. He has assembled a Board of Occupation. The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu. That is up to the Palestinian people.
