Thirteen years ago today, I donated a kidney to a stranger, starting a chain w/ 6 recipients. It felt like a great deal: with modest risks, I could give someone many more years of healthy life. Looking back, I'm glad I did it, but I understated both the risks and the benefits. 🧵

The only two movies I’ve seen in the cinema in the last two years are Wicked and Barbie. It’s funny when you read about how a marketing person has really got your number. And the mark of how far they’ve got me is I’m not even mad? 🙃

Watched the Wicked movie yesterday! 💚 Gorgeous visually and great fun. On splitting into 2 parts - obvs financial not artistic decision with all the expected downsides: - Less satisfying character arcs (esp Elphaba 😈) - Extended scenes 🥱 (Oz dust ballroom) - 2nd half is going to suffer re songs 😒
