I tried Gaza Cola & it 100% passes the taste test. I've been wanting to try it but online it's in multipacks & I didn't want to buy loads if it wasn't good. I'm not buying the well known cola brands so am pleased to have an ethical alternative - all profits go to rebuilding hospitals in Gaza.

I did an interview with The Guardian about how Bastille helped me pull myself out of life changing covid anxiety. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

I've just had my MMR. I've always assumed I was fully vaced but it turns out if you were born before 1990 you might not have had it. You can email your GP to check your vaccination record. Please do your own research obvs. Also, send me a sticker. Apparently I was too old to get one from the nurse.

Anne of Green Gables is my favourite book - and has played a significant role in my outlook to this day.

1. Consent in our pseudo-democracies is strained at the best of times, but it hangs on the belief that there is some kind of justice: through inquiries, tribunals, sometimes even the law, powerful people who commit crimes against us will one day be held to account. But what if this no longer works?🧵

I don't normally watch films about male violence because they tend to objectify the victims, either in terms of characterisation, cinematography or both. But as I knew Anna Kendrick had directed Woman of the Hour I gave it a go and am here to recommend it (with trigger warnings, obviously). Contd.

Military conflicts account for about 5.5% of global emissions - more than aviation. Imperialism is killing all of us. There can be no climate justice without peace. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This show looks so good.

We're hearing increasing concern from parents & those who work with young people about the rise of pro-ana content on social media & an interest in being unhealthily thin among teen girls. The global political slide to the right & open misogyny appear to be factors alongside revival of 90s fashions.

I love the way a bit of snow makes people decide to start talking to random strangers.

Almost never ironing means when the board does go up, my cat assumes it's a new bed for him.

Amazing evening of immense talent at Turner Sims tonight - University of Southampton.

Was X Pam Ewing's several season nightmare and Blue Sky is waking up to find Bobby in the shower? @bsky.app #bluesky

I'm working on the assumption that X was a fever dream and normal order has been restored to social media @bsky.app

One of the most interesting interviews I've been fortunate enough to do. An absolute privilege to be trusted with people's stories.

Excuse the terrible video quality - Bastille playing Blue Sky & The Painter last night at Shepherd’s Bush Empire felt like an apt start on here.
