Business owner, Mum of 3, 1 cat, 1 dog, 1 husband - and very excited to be a recent member of the grandparent club. Very happy on Threads (we GTTO after all) but have FOMO so here we are and seems here we maybe get a bit more real time news and analysis.

I’ve always enjoyed @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social ‘s writing. She uncannily seems to capture what I’m thinking, articulate it so much better than I could and move my thinking on further. Perfect example below which really resonates with me and I suspect many of us on here.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I’ve worked in comms for my whole life. It used to be a matter of professional pride (and sometimes survival) to proofread material before publication, and follow style guides re punctuation and upper/lower case usage. This, from a major blue-chip financial services organisation, makes me weep 🤷‍♀️

What’s going on in the US is exactly what we had with Johnson for his entire tenure - but on steroids and with potentially global consequences. Every day there was some new outrage, some new cause for disbelief, some new “they did what?”. 🧵

A bitter Int Women's Day with this administration making it more difficult to exist as a woman. That said, I'm happy to have had the powerful women in my life that raised me, friends who've shown me the way, and my wife and daughters who are everything. Together we could make this place beautiful.
Good Bones
By Maggie Smith

Life is short, though I keep this from my children.
Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine
in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways,
a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways
I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least
fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative
estimate, though I keep this from my children.
For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird.
For every loved child, a child broken, bagged,
sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world
is at least half terrible, and for every kind
stranger, there is one who would break you,
though I keep this from my children. I am trying
to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,
walking you through a real shithole, chirps on
about good bones: This place could be beautiful,
right? You could make this place beautiful.
