I've been on here a while so I thought I should tell you a little bit about me: 🧵
I live in Norwich, UK and I work, mostly from home, for a large global accounting and consulting firm where I have responsibility for metadata (exciting, eh?). 1/3

My top tips for hydration:
If you can drink it or eat it and it contains water, and it ain’t alcoholic, it counts towards your water intake: water, tea, coffee (yes, really), milk, fruit juice, custard, soup, and my favourite: jelly/jello!

This is, quite frankly, terrifying. We already have a government that is prepared to lock people up for planning a protest - it really feels like anyone who cares about justice for the poor, refugees, disabled people, the environment etc. could be a target.
And, with Wes Streeting cheerleading for them, they also have your healthcare data. You should, we all should, be very concerned about this authoritarian organisation knowing everything about us. inews.co.uk/news/police-...

UK's right-wing Labour Government continues its crackdown on washroom use affecting trans people, lesbians and non-femme women, but yet little effort on more important things. Violent or sex offenders may be given early release.

I feel a bit hopeless. Can someone give me hope about this?
