I mask in public still because no one has given me any convincing scientific evidence that getting repeat COVID infections is safe or sustainable for health, especially brain health 🧠

Farage was always master of the grift. Remember ten years ago when @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and I revealed his Leave EU team were in and out of the Russian Embassy in the run up to Brexit, looking for gold and diamond deals with the Kremlin? Farage must have known, and approved. Ten years ago

My personal opinion is that women use AI less because they are way better at being suspicious of flattery, and because our intelligence has *always* faced accusations of being lesser than, and we’re used to doing our work regardless.

Thank you so, so much to everyone who's sharing this today. SCALA!!! was a massive labour of love made on a microbudget, and turned down by everybody, until the BFI, thank God, picked it up. As it's not widely available, it's fantastic to be able to share it for free with potential new audiences. x

Farage is friends with rapists, pedophiles, sex-trafficking criminals & has women beaters & outspoken misogynists in ReformUK. He has a big problem with women, & any women who votes for ReformUK is either a collaborator against her sex or an idiot who votes against her own interests.

Plenty have clocked how Nigel Farage talks to women journalists — pure condescension: “listen, love,” “go write your silly little story.” Know your place. No shock from a man who praises Andrew Tate. The real surprise? It’s only being called out now.

I've found this to be true when it comes to explaining why I still mask in public. Once nearly everybody had already had COVID once vaccines were out, "I don't want to die" garnered skepticism but "My favorite foods tasted wrong for six months last time" had folks going "oh, huh, that makes sense!"

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career. Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV. My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow
