Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Overheard a guy ask his partner for tissues, she didn't have any. This was my time to shine (due to a drunken fall causing a broken nose when I was 18, I always have tissues on me). I whipped out my pack of Kleenex and offered him one, he was grateful. This must be what doctors on planes feel like. 000
Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Yesterday was the one year anniversary of being on my new job (actually a year may be too long to be considered new). It's gone so quickly, and hasn't been smooth for various reasons that aren't anyone's fault, but I'm glad I left the safety of my previous role of 8 years and took a chance! 000
Reposted by Helen PriestToby Porter @tobyhporter.bsky.social · 19/12/2024The best possible news in the run up to Xmas. It has taken more than a year's campaigning, but we are really THRILLED that Wes Streeting, Stephen Kinnock and our partners at NHSE have announced this very substantial package of financial support to the charitable hospice sector 192
Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 12/12/2024I'm at my folks, going through my mum's clothes, and my dad has picked something up and said "these are mine or someone else's" everything will fit into one of those categories. So he could be looking at anything from a nail file to the Declaration of Independence. 000
Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Only 2 hours to reach our £50k target. We're so close!

Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 08/12/2024I think we should normalise doing countdowns from 5 not 10, it gets really awkward around 7 and becomes apparent that it was too much time to give to a mundane surprise/reveal. 010
Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 30/11/2024I love Photoshop on Amazon, I'm willing to bet quite a lot of money that these children aren't playing with a xenomorph plushie. 030

Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 29/11/2024Great day yesterday at #ukcharitycamp it was a little overwhelming to be in such a big group of (mostly) strangers and I had to take time out at lunch, but so glad I went and there were some really interesting sessions. 010
Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Really looking forward to #ukcharitycamp tomorrow, can't remember when I last went to a face 2 face event for digital people, maybe an #nfptweetup or #IWITOT 060
Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Went to see Wicked last night, it's a good job that the deadline for Spotify Wrapped has already passed. Because after today, my most listened songs would be skewed. 010

Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 20/11/2024The other week I was explaining to my 14yo stepson how the internet has changed so much, so much UGC is sponsored, a bot or paid reviews, and therefore he rarely gets a genuine honest reviews or opinions of things. And how blogs used to be every day musings and now majority are influencers. 030

Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 18/11/2024This year we're having a stripped back Christmas, I'm seeing my dad in the morning, but then it's just the two of us for the day. We're getting a smaller simpler tree and having a roast. Hopefully stopping unnecessary spending and waste, no pressure, no timetable, just a chill day together. 000
Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Starter packs have been amazing to quickly follow other charity digital folks. @gemabbott.bsky.social, @pauldegregorio.bsky.social and @michaelwilkinson.bsky.social have perfect ones to get started. 151
Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Tonight's movie is the Martin Short film Clifford. This has been a push too far, I've been told I'm not picking movies again! 000

Helen Priest @pbfhpunk.bsky.social · 17/11/2024I'm always excited when I find a film from @hdtgm.bsky.social on streaming, and then I watch it. Tonight's gem was Q: The Winged Serpent and I don't know if my husband is going to let me pick films anymore. 000
