I've been supporting a friend through something horrific for nearly a year. So just a reminder to everyone - believe victims - abusers are masters of deception and will show you a completely different side to what is happening at home - you're not stupid for not seeing abuse before it's too late

Ok I want to see your favorite sports photo of all time. Let’s do this.

Typing up somw notes from an interview and very glad I caught the typo that said there was 'internal mating' rather than internal meeting 😬

Totally forgotten they'd filmed Death Valley at Insole Court! They had to redecorate bits of the mansion for it and until recently some of the wallpaper was still there. Thankfully the outside of the mansion has recently been cleaned and looks beautiful again.

I’ll prat her.

Back to the point about what non-tourist things to do in London. Going to the Vagina Museum is a great option. Queer, informative, interesting, and fun. Plus a cute gift shop and you can become a member and support them. Who doesn't want to be part of the cliterati?!

One of my favourite social media things is when someone says, I've got a day in London, what non-tourist thing should I do? And all thr responses are, go to Hyde Park / the British Museum / Borough market / Greenwich etc. They're all good, but not exactly local gems!

Remember when it was 34c a week ago? How is it now winter?!

Went to see Jinkx Monsoon in 'End of the Rainbow'. I didn't know her before going, and it was a good performance, but someone really needs to tell the production team to cut about 30 mins out. A 2.5 hour play, plus interval, is far too long.

Hello I'm looking to speak with an architectural historian for a piece I'm working on. Maybe a longshot asking on here but worth a try.

Watching this, having just watched Rivals, and it was a weird time wasn’t it, the late 80s/early 90s! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsN4...

"Yes. It’s terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies and everybody lives happily ever after". RIP Anthony Head. May his memory be a blessing.

Just saw someone refer to those little brown food waste caddies as a 'peelie bin' and that's all I'm going to call them from now on.

Find someone who loves you like Iolo Williams loves stag beetles! #Springwatch

Just had to tell our resodent foxes off for screaming and now feel like a bad vegan 😭

This guidance will inevitably end up with less women's facilities (and as people seem obsessed with toilets yes it will lead to less women's toilets when business can't increase their provision) 3/7

Retaining the line of using people's appearance and physique to enforce exclusion, is dangerous for ALL women and gives a green light to people who think they can ask if you are in the right toilet (something that happened to me again this week!) 2/7

Govt has published their updated guidance following the Supreme Court judgment. As I have set out before, this new code will still lead to confusion for businesses & contains multiple legal contradictions which will see some of the worse elements of transphobia continue being aided and abetted 1/7

Right then pals, we have an opportunity to so something important. This abhorrent EHRC guidance is modern day segregation and has to be stopped. Go to the link, fill in your details, and it'll send your objections straight to your MP. equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode

Here's a good book you should all buy and read immediately. Or, frankly, you don't even need to read it, just buy it. I'm a big believer that buying books and reading books are two separate hobbies!

I think this should come with a trigger warning for Dire Straits fans. There's some difficult listening.

Saw this on threads. Who's going to tell her the way to just BE in London is doing things like going to work, or to Big Sainsbury's/Tesco, or taking the bins out. My biggest hill to die on is you should be a tourist when you to places you don't live. No way anyone has done all the "big things" here

Regardless of the final score, this has been a very positive season for Cardiff in many ways. There's just such a big gap between the top 2/3 teams and the rest of the URC, it was always going to be a tough ask today #StoVCAR

The ref checking every single possible thing for a Cardiff try vs not even checking at all for the Stormers that was massively short is making me very angry #STOvCAR

Pretty sure the law is that if you play Hey Baby at a rugby stadium, you forfeit the match #STOvCAR

Is there a more stupid phrase by commentators than 'avoidable try'. All tries are avoidable if you defend sufficiently.

Dan Thomas just doing Dan Thomas things #STOvCAR

Not even going to TMO for that Stormers try is absolutely disgraceful #STOvCAR

WHAT A TRY!!! Bloody hell!! #STOvCAR

Terrible kick and Cardiff are incredibly lucky not to have conceded there #STOVCAR

Why would you throw it forward from there?! #STOvCAR

Here we go!! #STOvCAR

Oof, this is not a good day for Munster. If it's any consolation to Munster fans, Cardiff will lose by a bigger margin later which will redirect some of the media attention! #BULvMUN

This is what Trump's done to the people's house: A third of it is rubble. Another third is a cage match. What a metaphor.

If you want to know what it's like being Jewish right now, i had a very friendly conversation with a taxi driver yesterday until he started telling me about how Jews control the world and various other conspiracy theories about Jews. I was alone, he was taking me to my home address.

Please sign and share this good petition. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

Please please please shower so you're fresh before a flight, but I am begging people to stop wearing strong perfum or aftershave. It's both overwhelming and is triggering a migraine attack before I have to be in a conference all day 🤢🫠

The sheer fucking entitlement of talking about "protecting women" like you aren't the mouthpiece at the end of a hideous misogynistic hose

I was in Tenby last week and genuinely surprised at the number of businesses that had the same ridiculous 'cash is king' sign. Aside from it being untrue (all banking comes at a cost), I associate it with conspiracy theorists about the government tracking your movements (rightly or wrongly)

Absolutely disgusting. @zackpolanski.bsky.social you need to reject this rhetoric and kick these racist conspiracy theorists out of the party.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but men, if your wife is constantly screaming at a gig at a pitch so high it is painful for everyone around you, it's not misogynistic to tell her to shut up. Please be honest with your partner they are ruining it for everyone around you.

Motion City Soundtrack tonight 🥳 last time I saw them was in LA and I caught COVID and was hallucinating, so i assume this time will be better!

Death comes to us all, it just shouldn't come to you when you're 40. Life can be cruel.

It's #buyastrangerabook day! @scot-bromptoneer.bsky.social has bought a copy of New Europe by Michael Palin for me to give a way. If you'd like it, just let us know! UK only

Grass pollen is trying to kill me today.

This reminds me of the time an unnamed government department called for a meeting with me and my colleagues to put a new idea / proposal to us, and I had to explain to them that what they were proposing was a cartel, and that's illegal.

Absolutely horrific news on the shooting in San Diego. Hate crimes against minorities are increasing as the far right gains more power globally. I'm so sorry Muslims in the US and globally are once again the target of hate, and that three innocent people were murdered in what should be a sanctuary

This is a very good book, which you can judge by the very good cover. You should absolutely buy a copy from whichever independent book seller you like to shop with. I can thoroughly recommend @biggreenbooks.bsky.social as a very lovely bookshop (and person!).

I got to see puffins and seals today!

Oh come on, Stormers again in the playoffs?!
