The news has been more than a bit grim of late, so hooray for @carbonbrief.org providing some genuine and really meaningful **good** news: the UK's carbon emissions in 2024 were the lowest since 1872, because demand for fossil fuels just keeps decreasing.

Tiny workout buddy keeping me on my toes this morning as she’s spent the weekend figuring out how to crawl.

Now have to retrieve her from other people’s mats between sets.

Lovely to know that viewers of #TheTraitors have donated as much as Alexander would have won.
We’re overwhelmed by all the generous donations from Traitors fans after hearing Alexander Dragonetti’s story! 🎉

You’d wanted to know how much has been raised...

Having to learn not to whoop loudly at the television during The Traitors, because this time around I have a small baby sleeping above who I have already disturbed twice…

The moment I realised getting my daughter to go to sleep might be an issue this evening: when she climbed off my lap and stood on the floor twerking while I sang twinkle twinkle little star

Threads showing me the same sort of stuff I consumed on Instagram is why I deleted it so quickly.

What I want to see on a public text-based app is very different from the content I consume on a private account on photo + video platform.
The thing I'll never get over is Zuckerberg having a legit Twitter-killer app with countless sign ups on day one and deciding: let's bury news and flood their feed with shit they don't want.

Cynthia Erivo is sublime in Wicked, her voice is unreal.

Ariana Grande felt like odd casting before I saw it - but she’s also perfect and unexpectedly hilarious.

Wicked is excellent - but it was made even more enjoyable by being able to go to a baby-friendly screening.

Naively I didn’t realise quite how cut off from cultural moments I’d feel as a new mother, so spaces like today have been super valuable.

Safe to say the last 6 months have sped by.

Amazing how much personality is able to fit into such a small person.
