Just to say hello to all my new followers and fellow blue sky thinkers. It’s good to be here.

If you’re not responsible enough to set up mail forwarding when you move out (of your London flat), are you really responsible enough to vote?

I’m the kind of superstitious where I throw spilled salt over my shoulder and salute when I see a single magpie, but don’t think twice about taking a flight on Friday 13th if it’s convenient for me.

Larry Connor may not see your mean tweets, but your billionaire friends who are determined to implode in a $20M submarine death mission will. Hashtag be kind

It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

Worked myself into a lather believing a photo of me at a (professional, women-centred) event had been photoshopped into high heels instead of flats. In fact, the photo cut off my feet and #GenerativeAI had guessed outside its borders. Just another example of its weird biases.

I am horrified by this ongoing incarceration for all the humanitarian reasons one might expect, but also because lovely Johan was my next-door neighbour in Oxford a decade ago. Astonishingly poor news coverage here, eg. Telegraph "EU Poster boy" headline. #FreeJohanFloderus

Normal people: do you remember the point at which you stopped congratulating yourself for simply acting normal and not weird? What prompted it for you? Is it coming soon for me?

[Health condition] awareness months. Generally a good thing, probably, but recently being overwhelmed by information about a condition I have caused me to spiral with anxiety. It probably happens to others, all the time. Same for social justice issues. Sensitivity needed.

Breathing a huge sigh of relief to be on here instead of Twitter/X.
