in the era of social media, people often portray themselves as perfect online & living their best life. this is never a true representation of who people are. no one will broadcast themselves at their worst - crying, stressed, haven't moved for days, hating themselves.

Hang it in the Louvre #TheTraitors

Dedication to a legend

In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators. Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.” On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.” 12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.

@NoCatsNoLife_m from her insta, it's obvious she did this to get attention on her page - by spreading it we're giving her exactly what she wants. The best thing to do would be to report it here: oipa.org/international/… . If animal abuse is found, this organization can get a conviction

Here is the devil person who tattooed her cat What punishment does she most deserve?

Mad as hell to report that reading a paperback book the hour before bed instead of scrolling on my phone has significantly improved my sleep quality.

@thebalancephone Does the balance app/balance phone still allow you to use Google & your phone's camera? Also, does it allow you to use other non-social media apps that may be required for work etc?

Introducing the Balance Phone app. Turn your phone into a tool that eliminates distractions and unlock your best self.

Because too often it isn't. Just 8% of people in film and TV come from a working-class background compared to 60% from upper-middle-class backgrounds. Journalism has a similar problem. It means the stories of working-class communities are rarely accurately or adequately told.

We have, for too long, shackled the bakery to the morning. Night bakeries. Fresh croissants at 11pm. It is possible.

@oncloudchloe Congrats!! Can I ask how you got rid of it saying you’re a bot? Has said it to me and no clue how to fix it🥲

After 2.5 hours on ticketmaster, being called a bot & being booted out of the queue 1000 times, I finally got Oasis tickets 🥺🙌🏼

@m1ckyg37 Thank you!!

@m1ckyg37 Which venue is this for or for all? x

Looks like it’ll be £150 standing for Oasis

I wonder how many Daniel Kaluuya's we've missed out on in the last two decades because the UK's creative industries refuse to recognise that casting from the same private schools can only get you so far. The story of Skins is a story of investing in working class talent.

@worklight_uk Really appreciated, will be reading/watching all listed and making sure I attend any future work. Best of luck for the rest of Fringe x

@Towell1e Thank you!!! Reading list includes: Gary Stevenson’s book & YouTube channel, Paul Krugman’s online Masterclass, Kate Raworth’s Donut Econmics and Tim Harford’s books/documentaries.

the most astounding piece of ART i have ever seen. @AdamScottRowley if you are ever about in edinburgh or london, i want to buy you a pint and know everything you can say. words can't describe this talent

@worklight_uk Special shout-out to Jordan Brookes: Fonatanelle (because I’m a reviewer now). Never seen comedy like it, ‘twas in stitches! (Last year, Summerhall had the best shows - this year, @ThePleasance has gone above & beyond). #EdFringe24

Continuing this from last year - my pint of the fringe goes to @worklight_uk for #ItsTheEconomyStupid Beautiful, funny, relevant. Hats off to all involved; I want the reading list that went into creating this fantastic show.

Why did past societies build so much "useless" beauty everywhere — and why did we stop? It might be a measure of a culture's health... (thread) 🧵
