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.

Caitlin Moran: social media went from utopia to hellhole in a decade – if you want to feel hopeful again, get offline
Fourteen years ago, Twitter was the fastest, funniest game on the web. Now I’ve been driven out by so-called ‘online activists’. The only answer is to unplug and try this instead

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.

Our hosts asked us about British Easter traditions - bunnies and chocolate eggs seemed quite banal in comparison!

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 🤷‍♀️

One man is standing up for the rule of law in Britain. His reward is to be savagely attacked by right wing think tanks, newspapers & politicians. They understand where the battle against populism is taking place. And they've marshalled their forces accordingly. iandunt.substack.com/p/a-good-man...

And the cycle began again. But eventually we freed ourselves and on July 5th 2025 felt a hitherto forgotten sense of lightness and freedom, as if a great weight had been lifted. Watching the US since January 20th has been horribly reminiscent - and some!

And as this rollercoaster rolled on we’d say “surely this will be the end of him/them”. It wouldn’t be and then another even more outrageous event would rank things up still further. Eventually he went and we began again with Truss and Sunak

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?”. 🧵
