@flint_writes … and cheese. Don’t forget the cheese.

I’m having a pretty exhausting week. Tonight I have lit the lamps and the fairy lights; I have opened the biscuits and the books; I have spread out the blankets and turned on the fire.

@Anna_Mazz If I ever get a boob job now I’ll be calling it the reformation

Things from the 90s that I would rather reformed than Oasis: The cast of Buffy Eurotrash My breasts

@flint_writes Eating cheese?

I had the astonishing experience of enjoying aerobic exercise. I moved to the countryside and I now live in a hobbity book-filled house overlooking a cemetery. And today is the last day of my 40s. How should I spend it?

My 40s have been the best decade of my life. I got published! Twice! I met writers I admire and even became friends with some of them! I got over my terror of public speaking. I survived some horrible health stuff. (1/2)

As a child bereaved by fatal domestic abuse, headlines calling a man who killed three women a “nice guy” and “normal person” have felt personally traumatic. The media called my father a “gentle man” and “nice chap”, which misrepresented the controlling reality that myself and my family experienced for years. It compounded our trauma. Reporting like this causes so much damage – both to victims’ families, and to public understandings of coercive control. It has to stop. Now. We need every single newsroom trained in how to report domestic abuse deaths, and to lobby the regulator for stronger rules. The press has the power to prevent further deaths and save women’s lives. Please support this crowdfunder I’ve started to support @we_level_up’s crucial work to train journalists in their Dignity For Dead Women guidelines. This takes all of us ➡️ gofundme.com/f/levelup-media

This is gonna be fabulous 🤩

@AnnaSymon Can’t wait for this!!

Mother. Lover. Liar. Thief. #Joan coming September

@Sonic_Screwup Vincent and the Doctor tho… surely?

@AJPharoah @SP1nightonly The Detectorists is such a joy.

What’s a 9/9 British tv series?

@hannykha Hannah I’m so sorry… I’ll be thinking of her and wishing her safe. ❤️

@WriterHBlack Comments are shockingly condescending and virulent.

Look at the comments and you’ll see why the poorest and most vulnerable look for solutions outside of the ‘left’ The ‘left’ HATE them They look down on them They don’t listen to them Plus ca fucking change

Don’t tell them what’s going to happen in season 2 they’ll make you put it in season 1.

@nickmurftweets All those tories today whining that they lost because the government isn’t right wing enough… 🤢🤢

The Tories have spent 18 months blaming & punishing any group to win votes. This morning it’s clear it hasn’t worked. Voters reject their hate-crime politics and doubling down in the months ahead, swinging even further right, will surely only hurt them more?

@johnwg58 @rapiersword @BBCCasualty Even if the scenes are improvised there will have been an indication from a writer or writers about who the characters are, what the story is, where they go next etc.

@rapiersword @BBCCasualty Wasn’t the episode used improvised?

Great to see @BBCCasualty picking up a well deserved Broadcast award but where was the writer?

@MarianneLevy try getting a virtual phone number, free trial, you should be good to go... sonetel.com/en/l/virtual-p…

It’s on a website called Willhaben. In Austria. Still too expensive but half the price of the original. So I tried to sign up for Willhaben. But you can only do it if you have a German or Austrian phone number. I have neither.

Twitter! Specifically German & Austrian twitter! I wonder if you can help me? It’s a slightly complicated story, which starts with me going into a shop and trying on an amazing coat. 🧵 Here is the coat. See how happy I am?

I look at this picture and to me she looks beautiful, healthy, and strong woman. Why are they banning this... and letting some of the other gross sex-based, semi-anorexic dross slide? Can't help but feel a strong woman of colour offends them in some way...

Where can I buy really good Covid masks from these days please?

@flint_writes Thanks hon. Research (b vitamins and magnesium known to stabilise hormones, particularly b6) and trial and error... I found not all supplements made equal so for example some brands of Tumeric actually made it worse!

@Paterson_R Oh interesting!! Thank you - and sorry to hear you’re suffering too. How did you light upon this combination, or was it just trial and error? Xx

I’ve had migraines 3-4 times a year since I was 12. Always with the same symptoms: coloured lights / aura, can’t see out of one eye, I throw up violently, sleep for hours - done. They’ve never lasted more than 12 hours. Today I have my first 24 hour migraine. (Contd)
