Highly recommend this opportunity! I was on the steering committee about 5-6 years ago and it was incredibly rewarding!

(P.S. where did the years go?? 😵‍💫)

Submission: I did a thing.

Reviewer: Too bad it’s not the thing I imagined while half-reading your abstract.

Revision: What a coincidence, it is now.

With all the milestones, how extraordinary this is can get lost!

Last Sunday on the BBC I announced we overtook the Tories at 124k members.

That's +26,000 members in the last week.

Hope is feeling normal again....
🚨BREAKING : The Green Party has passed 150,000 members 🥳

Thousands are joining right now to help us replace Labour and take the fight to Reform.

Are you in?

Make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now ⤵️

I had a dream about my good old iPod last night. I bet it's still loaded with all my music from high school...which probably came from Limewire 🫠
Bring back portable mp3 players.

Seriously, I would rather purchase, download, & keep copies of my music than pay a subscription to stream from Spotify or Apple Music.

There's a reason I've primarily joined MS Teams meetings from an incognito browser window wherever possible for the last 4 years. It's the only method I've found that doesn't include some form of disaster.
Christ every time I'm forced to use Microsoft Teams it re-sets itself to open on startup and I have to hunt the fucker down and turn it off again. Outright sociopathic design.

Sensible, thoughtful, and honest politicians still exist. There is...dare I say it...hope.
No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.

The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.

That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

I'm still stunned that @yorkshirebylines.co.uk put in the huge effort to collect all press-reported downsides of Brexit (David Davis had said there would be "none"!)...

...and has the sheer patience to collect 2,000 discrete incidences via media reports before giving up.
The Davis Downside Dossier
David Davis famously said there would be no downsides to Brexit only considerable upsides - so we started recording them.

This week I joined the @bennettoxford.bsky.social tech team as Product Manager!

Grateful to be part of a brilliant organisation with a mission that so closely aligns with my own. We build tools like OpenSAFELY to support trust and reproducibilty in health research 💪

Excited for my next chapter 😊

End of an era as yesterday was my last day at Gorilla. I learned a lot and met amazing people, but it's time for new adventures! 🦍❤️

Spending the next month enjoying the Mancunian sunshine (🤞), exploring Corfu, spending time with people close to me, and preparing for my next exciting chapter (🤫)
