What’s even nicer than doing a half marathon, is knowing that now I’ve done the half marathon I have a month, A WHOLE MONTH, ahead of me where I can just run for fun before the training for Cardiff starts up. I couldn’t be happier.

By a wide margin, that was the most memorable and completely bonkers half I’ve ever done. The absolute shambles at the end was a real shame, but props to the volunteers who cheered us over the Øresund and to all the other runners who got to cross from Denmark to Sweden on foot today. #RunningPunks

It’s getting very real now… After entering the #Broloppet last February thanks to a chance Twitter scroll, it’s finally happening tomorrow! My name’s definitely down for it, my post-race sandwiches are made, my bag is mostly packed, and I’ve got my lucky charm. 🖤 #RunningPunks

From one bridge to another. I’ll be running over the second one on Sunday…

A gig on a school night? Where I got to exorcise some demons by singing at the top of my lungs? While still being home and in bed by 10:30pm? Magic. It was such a joy to hear The Get Up Kids play Something to Write Home About, which was a big part of the soundtrack to my awkward teenaged years.

I had a lot of inspiration, and a fair bit of welcome distraction, on today’s run, thanks to the @tourofbritain.bsky.social coming through town. Last time I saw Team Visma-Lease-A-Bike, I had to go all the way to France. This was way handier! Last long run before the #Broloppet, done! #RunningPunks

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943. Only one cat has ever received the award. This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

This is utterly shameful. Imagine saying that, openly and in public, and thinking you’re on the right side of history.

Got my first run in a week done tonight and I regret to inform you that I am, in fact, a woman reborn. 40 minutes of speedy stupidity on the treadmill was just what I needed. I’m still nervous about the #Broloppet, but I’ll get round/under/over it. #RunningPunks

Attending a @royalsociety.org conference on the UK's role in the space sector today. I wonder how long it will take before a speaker mentions the proposed evisceration of NASA's science missions by the Royal Society's own Fellow, Elon Musk? Will it happen at all? Or would that be impolite? 🤔🔭🧪⚛️

This is essential. We just had the White House budget for NSF and NASA. Would kill American science, and hurt the rest of us for decades.

Not good news for gravitational-wave or multimessenger astronomy "In FY 2026 NSF will operate only one of the two [LIGO] sites and will support a reduced level for technology development" ☄️⚛️🧪🔭

We're going to learn some tough stuff today about the White House's proposed budget for fiscal year 2026—including what they have in mind for NASA. I'll share what I hear, but remember: CONGRESS decides how much money NASA gets, not the White House. So whatever happens today, the fight continues.

This is beyond catastrophic for American space and planetary science. Compounded into anger knowing that SpaceX got several billion in funding. If you are in the US, you should be making calls. See thread 👇🏽

Cis isn’t a slur, it’s a descriptor. I’m a cis woman, and I’m happy to sign this petition. Trans and non-binary folk deserve our support now more than ever.

Following a second attempt at getting a dental implant installed, I’m not allowed to run for a week, so I apologise for the person I’m going to become between now and next Tuesday. I’m gutted that my training plan for the #Broloppet has gone so far out the window with 2.5 weeks to go. #RunningPunks

To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement: I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings. Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️
