- Honestly I’m not sure there is anything purer than farmers on TikTok
00:00 - A guy on Hinge asked me who my favourite Tudor was (as an opening question) and I said Anne Boleyn. And he unmatched me 😂. Was that....the wrong answer???? I can't stop laughing.
- People on my street are having an almighty row over who owns some flowers. There have been no raised voices, just handwritten notes placed inside plastic wallets and pinned to a post.
- I personally love that Emma Watson calls being single "self-partnered". We really need to overhaul the way we think about singledom and especially how our culture views single women. I wrote about this a while back:
- The period emoji is officially happening. It might not seem like it's a big deal, but it is. The stigma & shame surrounding menstruation can have a damaging effect on girls' lives. An emoji won't solve the issue, but it will start a conversation mashable.com/article/period… @PlanUK
GIF - I live in Brixton and when the Sarah Everard disappearance made the news, I got texts telling me 'don't go out.' Truth is, we've grown up knowing the societal burden falls on us to be hypervigilant in public places, to modify our own behaviour to mitigate risk
- Replying to @RVT9Sorry to report that the debacle has ended with the original note-poster digging up the flowers to take them “elsewhere”
- Welllllll the Yorkshireman’s girlfriend (!) texted me yesterday to tell me she’s found screenshots of our convo that he accidentally sync’d to her work laptop. Love to message a guy for months only to discover he has a live-in gf that he was about to buy a house with.im in the talking stage with a yorkshireman who calls me princess and i think the dating energy im bringing into my 33rd year is that if im not being worshipped and adored then it's a no from me
- Went to M&S to buy a bra and have been unwittingly walking around town with this stuck to my boot. Mortified.
- Replying to @RVT9The farm has its own truly delightful Twitter account with loads of wholesome videos just like these. Everyone go follow @caenhillcc💗
- Love to be on dating apps. Not pictured: his messages telling me to stop eating crisps and go to the gym. Anyway this guy’s a journalist…
- The irresponsible reporting on Grace Millane's death is deeply troubling. Using terminology like "rough sex" or "sex game gone wrong" perpetuates this new wave of "she was asking for it". Words matter.
