I took this picture as a reaction to a message, but I actually quite like it, so I'm posting it. You're welcome lol
Me looking at the camera with a finger in my mouth (I was going for a seductive vibe). Behind me are some Christmas decorations and a warm white glow from the tree.

My boyfriend, mid-conversation, said, and I quote, "You look like a Make a Wish kid." The worst part is I can't disagree
A picture of me on a video call. I'm wearing a blue t-shirt and a pink hoodie. I'm also wearing a bright blue bobble hat. The webcam has made me even paler than I actually am

So the BBC kicked out Nadiya Hussain for being anti-genocide and has now forced out Robin Ince for supporting trans right. What a wonderful organisation it is 😒

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
This is the saddest day of my professional life. Today is not only the final recording of the latest series of The Infinite Monkey Cage, it is my last ever Monkey Cage. I never thought that I would have to leave the show. I always imagined going on until | dropped dead under the studio lights due to a brain aneurysm caused by my final attempt to understand notions of quantum gravity or the shock of being told about fly maggot infestations in the sacks of macaque monkeys. I resigned in September, after sixteen years of dedication to the show, A show that I named and helped develop over all those years. Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry. These things were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter In a recent meeting where BBC Studio executives again voiced problems with me, I realised my choices. Obedience and being quieter to remain making Monkey Cage, or 'Resign and have the freedom to speak out against what I believe are injustices'. • I chose the latter. It broke my heart. I love this show and I love the audience, and it is because of the audience in particular, that this decision was so difficult to make. I kept thinking about all the extremist voices promoting hate and division. They are being given so many platforms, while voices that represent kindness, open mindedness, empathy seem to be scarcer and scarcer. I felt I couldn't pamper myself with the luxury of silence. One of my many privileges is that I am able to resign and I can speak out even if it is to the detriment of my career. I have thought a lot about my heroes, Sinead O Connor, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and so many more. I think of Sinead's words, "the job of an artist is to be themselves at any cost". James Baldwin said prejudice was really just a word for cowardice. Audre Lorde, viewing her life, wrote that her only regrets were her silences. I think of my father as I resign, he brought me up to believe in fairness , justice and kindness. Though my heart is broken, it is also full of fire. I apologise to our incredible listeners for my departure, your love of the show means a great deal. I am so sorry to let you down. I hope that you can understand my reasoning. I have to accept that I am not what the current BBC expects of their freelance presenters. Despite this I should add that I have always worked far more than my contracted hours to try and ensure the show was always the best it could be, as well as making myself accessible and responsive to the audience wherever and whenever I met them. Every night, we have recorded, I have been filled with determination to make the best show possible. This was not "just a job" I hope that with my departure I can be a better ally to the LGBTQ community, to the neurodivergent community, to activists fighting against those who aim to brutalise society, to those currently in prison on hunger strike, and to all those who fight for a more inclusive world. From many conversations, I know there are many Monkey Cage listeners who support these communities and activists too. The strawberry is dead. Long live the strawberry. B

Thank you, straight white cis man, for explaining to minorities the correct way to effect change
A clipping from a Guardian opinion piece that says "But change comes about fastest when the least fuss is made, and when a minority knows that it is initially different and reacts to antagonism with moderation."

Does Time know that architects aren't the ones that physically build skyscrapers???
The Time magazine front cover for their "person of the year" issue. They selected "the architects of AI" and the cover pic is a photoshopped image recreating the iconic images of builders building early twentieth century skyscrapers but with AI CEOs instead. It's as shit as it sounds.

There was a chubby ginger guy in the queue ahead of me, and he went to scratch his back, and his shirt rode up, and I got an underwear waistband and belly glimpse. I don't know what I've done to deserve this today, but *horny moan*

This World AIDS Day feels like a good time to reiterate my love for my friends living with HIV, remember the people no longer with us, and, unusually for me, praise the government for its announcement today of the steps it will be taking towards a zero HIV transmission future

I know I'm a huge fucking (design) nerd, but I think banks switching to accessible cards is a rare good thing that has happened in the last few years
A picture of a debit card. It has a notch cut out of it so blind and partially sighted card users can easily tell the cards orientation. It also has raised dots to help identify the type of card.

Time to say goodbye to my long hair
A selfie. I'm lying in bed with the covers pulled up to just below my chest. One nipple is visible. My hair has been pulled down across my face to show its length. It runs from the top right of my forehead diagonally across my face and reaches my chin.
