Short thread:

If anyone is interested, I've just updated my old "Starting out on Twitter" Guide to "Starting out on Social Media".
It explains how to start, navigate and grow a social media account on any platform e.g. here.

DM me if interested. Please see about Starter Packs below.
Hi Peeps.

Over the last few days I've issued 7 starter packs, with personal recommendations for good accounts to follow.

You can see them on my profile.

I'll be adding more with extra accounts soon.

If you are new here, it's a quick way to find good people to follow!

Just reflecting. Liz Truss is starting a dodgy TV programme that is self-produced.

Former Etonian Johnson paid a ton of money by the Mail to write garbage every week.

She's not entirely wrong about the elite (though mostly wrong)...

I've just survived watching the first 6 minutes of Liz Truss' new show, She needs to be sectioned.

Someone needs to do this for Tunbridge Wells.
"The provision of clean water for drinking is an obvious benefit but also the building of sanitary facilities in communities means that disease is prevented as good hygiene exists. In the south-east region of Madagascar approximately 80% of people live without clean water."
