Being a journalist is 55% freaking out about not having interviews, 40% interviewees cancelling, and 5% of somehow everything magically working out 2 hours before a deadline

@TSBreakfast @talkSPORT hi! It's my brother's birthday and he listens to the show every day all day! He turns 35 and it would mean the world if you could say it (he's listening rn!) 🫶🏽

Wasted 3 hours of my life last night watching the MH370 “documentary” so you don’t have to. Calling this a documentary would be a stretch since Netflix would rather spend 80% of its screentime on wild conspiracy theories. Don’t get me started on Jeff Wise. Insulting.

Hitting your kids teaches them that • their needs don’t matter • they’re expected to love their abusers regardless of the extent of abuse • they need to lie in order to keep the peace • your love for them is contingent on compliance + obedience Essentially, you’re creating codependent people-pleasers with complex trauma who are likely to go limited- to no-contact with you as adults once they realize what they experienced wasn’t healthy or normal. Hitting your kids is your way of avoiding actual parenting.
