Our Crowdfunder is sadly a little slow on the uptake. We are still hopeful though, and if everyone who followed me chucked in £2.50 we'd hit our target😄. I get that times are hard though, so even sharing this would be a big help, thanks 🖤💛🖤

I was complaining to my friend about how awful things feel and how hard it all is at the minute, and he said 'it's a period of deep moral injury for anyone with a thinking mind and a working heart,' and if that doesn't just hit the nail on the head I don't know what does.

When Italy were at almost 1,000 deaths per day, our media were all, 'WHAT DID ITALY GET SO WRONG,' 'DEVASTATING SCENES IN ITALY.'
Yesterday we had almost 1,000 deaths and our media were like 'BORIS JOHNSON SITS UP IN BED 👏👏👏HERO.'

Dying at BBC news. The presenter was talking about the supermoon and there was meant to be a picture but it didn't appear, so she held her hands up in a circle and said 'it looked a little bit like that.'

Because we have a small core of deeply suspicious and incurious conspiracists, a media system set up to promote those views to create binary arguments for engagement, and a government that panders to those same people's deepest yet entirely unfounded fears.
Why has the ‘15-minute city’ taken off in Paris but become a toxic idea in UK?

Sorry for two rants so early on a morning, but I'm not comfortable *at all* with police accounts behaving like this, and it's becoming very common. All the blue tick morons are telling them how funny they are and they're lapping it up and responding with an online survey.

It's kind of wild that the British Library has been hacked and is under ransom, and the only real reporting of it is in tech publications. It seems like... quite a big deal.
Full article here if you want more:
While our website is unavailable following a major technology outage caused by a cyber-attack, we’re keeping our blog up to date with what’s on at the Library:

I found a VHS tape at the junk store that just had the label "A surprise!"

I am a woman, Dan. A cis woman, if that matters to you. So arguably I have a lot more skin in the game over the 'protection of women's spaces' than you do. Trans women have used our bathrooms all my life, I've neither noticed, not minded. Polling shows most women feel the same.

You have to wonder at the disconnection of the person using 'minding my own business' coupled with 'debating if I should say anything.' So, very distinctly *not* minding your own business then.

Man who kept his boat besides his house was ordered from the city to put up a fence to hide the boat from view. So he built the fence and hired someone to paint it.

I'm not retweeting the conversation, but hear me on this. Working class areas, poor areas, 'rough'(!) areas, DESERVE art and culture too. Works in those places should not be moved out of areas because snobs think that they're 'vulnerable' there or 'not appreciated'.

A child is among the dead people who were looking for a better life. Still I'm seeing heartless, ignorant and disgusting comments. The entitlement that comes with something completely random like where you happen to be born, is astounding. Such a lack of compassion and empathy.
Yesterday I reported how many children were at the "camps" near Dunkirk and Calais, living in the woods and streets. Reuters are now reporting that one little girl is among the 31 who have died.

even though I understand that other women absolutely had, I myself had never had a painful/traumatic experience until the last one where the nurse didn't have a clue what she was doing and hurt me quite badly. If that had been my first/only experience I might not have gone again.

'And then you go to Sunderland and you're like "where the f*ck am I" [audience laughs].'
Just one more example of the way the north east is so frequently treated (see: mocked). Sunderland is very tired of being 'the South's' punching bag, it's so reductive, get another hobby.
I’ve got to say, it concerns me that Vice President of
@RADA_London

a friend is paying £700+ to rent a two-bed house where the mortgage would be half that if he could buy it. We're so desperate for private sector rental reform but what would the Tories do if not appease the landlords who donate to them, eh. Such a disgusting system.

I saw someone say earlier - and I'd not thought about it like this but it's so true - that we go from teenage girls being told GETTING PREGNANT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE to young women who are told WHEN ARE YOU HAVING KIDS YOUR EGGS WILL BE USELESS SOON. And there's *no* middle ground.

What if men considered for a second that women can be their role models.
I think it’s true that bridging the gap will have to come more from men than women, but I think diagnoses of "toxic masculinity" only exacerbate the problem, causing further negative polarisation.
Young men need better role models, but it’s not their fault they don’t have them.
