As the script editor on #Youngins I worked with some verrrry talented young writers. Hopefully, I taught them a few things (do not hand in a poorly formatted script!) and they taught me a lot too - most of which I cannot repeat here 🙈. The first three eps of Season 3 drops on Showmax tomorrow...

The COVID-19 vaccines are the closest humans have come to a scientific feat like blowing up an asteroid headed to Earth in real time and saving millions, if not tens of millions, of lives. And conservatives are like, "Witch!!"
Once viewed as the path out of the pandemic, mRNA vaccines are now being vilified — & not just by fringe figures. The attack on this important platform could render the US far more vulnerable in the next pandemic & trailing China in the field of scientific advances. www.statnews.com/2025/06/02/m...
mRNA, once lauded as a scientific marvel, is now a government target
The sharp turnaround on mRNA vaccines shows the unprecedented rise of anti-vaccine activists to power

Minky Stapleton is the designer of three of my book covers, together with 'We Were Perfect Parents Until We Had Children' AND is an award winning children's book author. She's the one who encouraged me to get 'Ms Conception' published and designed the cover as a gift. I'm so grateful to her ♥️♥️♥️♥️

After thousands of trees were lost to the devastating shot hole borer beetle infestation, new life is being planted in Newlands, Cape Town. It’s the first reforestation effort to restore biodiversity in the city’s southern suburbs.

If you're bored during a conversation, say: 'so if I misunderstand you correctly...' and make up the most outrageous translation of what you just heard

Abi Daré’s fiction holds both fury and grace; it’s a call to pay attention, to care and to act.
