With the Traitors having a "secret Traitor", I am excited for the British public to conveniently remember how to use singular They/Them pronouns for a month.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

My boyfriend asked me last night what I wished for in 2026, and I simply said ‘more peace’.
I’m excited for a year of slowing down, being more present, enjoying life as it is rather than always stretching for the next milestone. That probably also means being less online 😌😌

I didn’t expect 2025 to be the year I fell in love, but sometimes life surprises you 🥰
Met the parents today who were so lovely and welcoming. I feel very lucky 💚

Another day, another dangerously overcrowded crosscountry train.
I’ve had to alight at Birmingham to breathe after 2 hours of horrendously cramped conditions, and will continue my journey when it’s (hopefully) less busy later 😔

Writing useful feedback isn’t difficult, but it takes time (15-20 mins per candidate).
Why bother?
- giving non specific feedback gives candidates a poor impression of your org / you, and they may skip over future opps
- we have an opportunity to help good people who aren’t yet good at interviewing

Spent an entire afternoon yesterday writing up interview feedback for a recent campaign.
Because candidates who’ve taken the time to write an application and prepare for an interview deserve personalised and actionable feedback.

My boyfriend’s friends (who I have not met yet) have started a rumour that I am AI. Therefore I have acquired an unfortunate new nickname..
