Dilema, after a big reorg and several colleagues don't make the cut in the redundancy rounds, should I reach out asking those who I work with in the past and hold most dearly asking how they're feeling, and asking if I can help, or does it feel like being nosey if they didn't contact me? 🤔

Such a shame that most headlines in the #CMHW2025 phrased "banning phones from schools don't improve Children's mental health or test results". The point was very clear that banning alone has no impact. A very important detail. Well done @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Here I was thinking that my very 80s reference to Trump + Musk = Pinky + Brain was very original. But in a way I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing it, maybe those US voters will see the errors of their ways next time. www.reddit.com/r/AnythingGo...

Loving this tune. Not sure they'd like to know a middle age woman is rocking up to it though. But, if you take my kids (who also are loving it) and do our average, you get a cool 19 year old, hope that makes up for it 🤭 APT, Rosé (feat. Bruno Mars) 🎶 youtu.be/ekr2nIex040?...

Urgh, got emotional in a call, with camera on, after being bombarded by 4 people with aggressive language virtually. It happened in the morning, I was shaking for an hour afterwards and my eyes are still sore. The joys of working from home. I wonder if they'd do the same in person. 🧵

It's strange I feel like co-pilot is male. It should be an "it" being completely honest, but it annoys me I didn't instinctively think of it as a female. For now, I'll make the conscious decision of calling it "them".

Friends, what are we eating today? Truly nothing sounds appealing but I know I need to eat something

The host of a call today (in UK) giggled when asking an America (joining from US) what they made of the elections result. People in the room laughed as if it was a joke, I cringed from my camera. The answer given in a sober way: They were still digesting it. Not one the host's best moments, imo.

Right, don’t fall for the “backlash” framing that absolves these people of agency. They chose this, they will always bear the most responsibility for it.

You are allowed to celebrate good things that are happening today: your birthday, a book coming out, new baby, new puppy, seeing your favorite piece of art in person, etc. Joy is the knife that stabs into the heart of despair & apathy. Feel your joys, big & small, & share them widely & loudly.

Solidarity to all Americans who campaigned, donate or simply voted for Harris. We really appreciate you, and your will to make the world a better place. Although this is a dark day for you, I wish hope will be back in your lives soon enough. 💙✊🌹🫏

The beauty of my BSky timeline. I couldn't make it up 😅 A perfect timing to get "The F-word book" by @jessesword.com www.amazon.co.uk/F-Word-4e-Sh... cover with it's most recent use - to me - relatively.

Even if it is for the best, the fact that a celebrity pushes NHS to review their advice and guidance is worrying in my point of view. Another reason why I don't rate Wes Streeting. We had enough pandering to the famous, rich and important under the Tories. 🧵 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why do people ask #ITProjectManagers for stuff which is no relevance to the delivery, and will be unimportant in 3 weeks time?

Although the press is being quick to remove it, I'll leave Alleged. He never got a chance to defend himself of such offence. Even if he was guilty, having an armed Officer as the jury, judge and executioner - of Chris Kaba death penalty, which is not even a sentence in UK leaves a bitter taste 🧵

It is really started to annoy me Motsi and Shirley giving such "amazing" "extraordinary" "great" feedback while screaming and booing at Craig and their scores on the pad are or just 1 point above his, and still low. Why so much patronising and lack of honesty? 🙄 #strictly

So Tess says Paul Merson reinvented the American Smooth last week. Is it a dig at him not doing an American Smooth but just turning up and dancing? 😅 #strictly
