the only way imho

I was trying to give them work?! Girl so confusing

Sometimes I wish I knew less information

Might still rabbit on about stuff - cos I am still the same person and i cannae keep my mouth shut for love nor money (annoyingly)

Friends fear I might start a podcast so stay tuned for that

It feels like this is so extra but yeah I’ve had a toxic relationship with the whole industry and am sick of seeing the “stakeholders” benefit- social media, advertisers, etc.

So just gonna focus on paying my bills and building/ supporting real people in real life and talking about nerd stuff

The funny thing is I only got into journalism cos I wanted to talk about science. I love science and physics, along the way I got swept up in storytelling and society, politics, news, culture. Because of who I am I have been dragged into culture war after culture war for my whole adult life

I have to apply for teacher training and am looking into bursaries etc to fund my training from the Institute of Physics but yeah I guess this summer is my last hurrah in smacking my head against the wall! I’m not giving up the fight - just trying something new for me.

My friends and family who have experience in/ teaching have warned me! I know it is not going to be easy but it does mean I am afforded a level of financial stability and hopefully it will be a career that sees me on the receiving end of less hate!

Sadly, the industry relies heavily on freelancers who are able to work for free or very little. I can’t do that so found myself over working. I can’t allow the impact it is having on my mental and physical health to continue in the way it has been

There are way more than 14 seats in a carriage on a Jubilee line train.
This is lazy shitposting - if you’re gonna call yourself a journalist you should be stripped of your income until you check your facts
(I would say this to him but I am a lowly freelancer and my funding will be cut next)

isn’t it usually terfs who are the transgender police?
