My client who has been called incapable by people who should know better, in a final hearing all week, took the time to make me these bracelets overnight.

They mean “seek happiness” 🥺

A great post day.

My physical copy of the Legal Workers Inquiry which contains my essay
“A Day In The Life of A High Street Legal Aid Lawyer”

Only 200 copies exist but it will be freely available online after the launch in May.

I mean some plucky start up has to bring this back. The cans alone would be enough to fill the recycling boxes of north London 🤭

Reunited with one of my favourite photographs.

Taken by my brother at the student protests in 2010.

A reminder that protest however futile is often an act of simple defiance against despair.

Back from a social media detox following a period of quite brutal burn out before Christmas.

Lots of interesting things to promote this year but also wanted to humble brag about last year’s achievements.

Apparently neurodivergent people don’t recognise our own achievements so here goes 🤭🙏

Definitely not Christmas yet. But when you are in a Swiss place, you get offered mulled wine at 10am.

If the PM wants to make good on this claim he must reform LA funding and management.

It cannot simply be that we farm off even more children’s care to the private sector.

For anyone who hasn’t read it. My book of the year.

Eliza Clark is a writer who gets British Dread perfectly, and is one of our finest contemporary science fiction authors.👽

Also if you want people to buy your book make it this gorgeous. 👌

All this talk of echo chambers brings me back to my 2014 visit to the INTEGRATRON in the Californian desert.

An incredible feat of engineering - an echo chamber built in part by its creator’s interpretation of alien’s telepathic guidance. 👽

We had a sound bath which felt incredible.

“She admired the wildness of the satyr daring to challenge a god who maintains power by any means necessary, tracing parallels with our present political leaders, who rule not by joy and justice but by addiction to power.”

Marlene Dumas show did not disappoint. 🔥
