So, the new @duolingoverde.bsky.social update is horrible! Will make it much easier to spend less time practicing.

Finally made it as a model 😍🤣.

Always looking for a familiar filming location when I'm watching tv, but I wonder how many other people recognised the aerial view of East Surrey Hospital when they watched episode 4 of The Girlfriend.

I think what the Your Party debacle demonstrates is that politicians who put egos ahead of the greater good have no business running political parties. I'm a proud member of the @greenparty.org.uk and encourage those looking for a movement committed to the environment and social justice to join.

I'm excited to see what @zackpolanski.bsky.social does as leader of our party. It's time to take back the narrative and I think Zack can do that 💚.

It's such a privilege to work behind the scenes creating stuff like this. Jorge spoke so eloquently about the challenges of conducting research and managing patient care for neuromuscular disorders in Latin America. I'm sure the situation will be very similar for other rare diseases.

Thoroughly enjoyed last night's #RATW final. What a great bunch of contestants. I love that the show has managed to stay true to its original design and that the people in it aren't merely celebrity seekers. Here I am with some of them at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend 🥰.

This is adorable

My next university module starts in September and will over the "Long 19th century" (1789-1914). Are there any books -fiction or non-fiction - I should read that cover the period in interesting ways? #booksky

Sadly, I am neither of the things Naomi is looking for, but what an amazing opportunity this is! Best of luck with the development.

Today is my 44th birthday. 44 is a very sexy number. Today is also the first day of #pridemonth. So if you didn't get me a gift, it's ok, promise me you'll be a good ally to LGBTQ+ people this month and always and that will be the best gift ever.

I have a #baking question. Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm going for a picnic at Stonehenge. I want to make fresh scones to take. Could I make the dough today and refrigerate it overnight to bake in the morning or is that going to mess with the gluten and other reactions?

It's time to submit my final assignment for module two of my @openuniversity.bsky.social degree. My finger is hovering over the submit button. Someone press it for me?!!

I've just referenced the 1648 Peace of Westphalia in a university assignment and I feel like @gregjenner.bsky.social would be proud.

Did Portugal know they were performing at #Eurovision tonight?

Electric cars are sexy!

Watching the German entry and realising how little Duolingo is teaching me #Eurovision

Italy is currently my number 1 #Eurovision

Latvia giving "Medieval Baebes go futuristic" vibes.

I'm really not remotely biased, but the UK entry is my favourite so far #Eurovision

This 1991 throwback is my favourite act so far #Eurovision

Why's the Estonian act dressed as DT? #Eurovision

Loving everything about the #Luxembourg staging and styling #Eurovision

Airbnb can launch all the new app services it likes, but as long as Gebbia is on the board (and profiting from the company) and working for DOGE, they won't be getting my money.

Ha! Had an email saying my ESTA is expiring. No, babes, I don't want to renew it, no, babes, I won't be visiting the US. What an absolute state.

These are women. This is feminism. This is solidarity. What a great and glorious story. That this kind of action is needed is an abomination.

The single use carrier bags in the photo highlight just how long this has been one of our core messages. It's not new, but it's still right!

Carla has been a great leader and has achieved so much. The loss to the Green Party of her as a leader is very much Bristol's gain. Whoever wants to replace her is going to have to be very vocally supportive of trans people to get my vote.

@clarebeach.bsky.social welcome to @bsky.app x

It's officially my most productive April since I had my #solar panels installed in 2022. And in just over three years, I've saved almost 2500kg of carbon. My solar panels have paid for themselves by reducing my energy bills. Don't let the commentators tell you solar doesn't work.

One month today, I'll turn 44. Excited to have a palindrome for an age again.

I bought The Future by @naomialderman.bsky.social after seeing her speak at Hay last year. I'm finally reading it and can hardly put it down. The world she has built is fascinating, terrifying and all too familiar, and then there are mindblowing observations like this.

A perfect case study in both the pointlessness of Google's AI search summaries and the unreliability of AI generated answers. Very, very funny execution.

Yesterday I went out with my 15 year old daughter. In the car, we were talking about generational fears. I mentioned quicksand, the Bermuda Triangle, and spontaneous combustion as fears of my generation and asked what hers were. Apparently, late Gen Zers fear Primark in summer and men.

In case anyone wants to wear their politics on their sleevelapel/bag strap... boredmaud.co.uk/product/tran... this is from @boredmaud.co.uk

Important reporting on today's shameful ruling by the Supreme Court from @jessothomson.co.uk

Genuinely sad about the Supreme Court's ruling today. I am a woman, I have always been a woman. Trans women don't threaten me, my sex or my gender identity. This isn't a victory for women or for equality. It's a victory for prejudice and small-mindedness.

Supreme Court or no, trans women are women and I will continue to treat them as women, recognise them as women and share spaces with them as women.

For my next university assignment, I have to write a report as though for a panel on #climatechange with recommendations of two actions the world should take now to tackle the crisis. Narrowing it down to two is proving tricky.

I wore my summer running kit for the first time today and I will never tire of running in a skort. #runsky

The trouble with April Fools Day on social media is that for days after, the algorithms send you random crap and you have to date and time check everything that seems a little off. In the times we're currently living through, everything seems a little off!

Sarah Winman really is the most extraordinary writer. I'm reading A Year of Marvellous Ways and I already know I'll read it again. How about this (when describing her long lost love): "[he was] ordinary, really. But he had a stowaway poet that lived in his soul and that poet made him restless."

It's so freaking basic. We have people in this countey with more money than thaay coukd soend in a lifetime and others barely getting by. I signed the petition to to demand the Government tax the super rich to rebuild our NHS, schools, and other public services. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

One of my abiding memories of the early days of the pandemic is going into work on the first day of lockdown and asking the chief executive of the hospital trust whether my children would be safe if I went home to them or whether I should leave them at their dad's.

Two thirds of the month done and we've already overtaken last year and 2023 for my domestic energy production. Holding out to beat 2022!

I have to say, Jamie Laing is really winning me over with his #ultramarathonman challenge for Comic Relief. Such a tough physical and mental challenge to do five ultra marathons in five days.

Went out to walk the kids' dad's dog this morning. Beautiful day for it. Everything is just about to burst into life.

I know Labour are struggling to figure out what to do about the current financial circumstances in the UK, and I want to humbly suggest that rather than raiding welfare, they should TAX THE FUCKING RICH.
