I’ve never understood the phrase “over-educated” as an insult. oh no, you studied hard and put yourself through school? you have a fascination with the world and an eagerness to be constantly learning??

I’m not saying books are the way to my heart but if I was trapped in a beast’s enchanted castle and he tried to court me by offering me his massive library, I would at least consider it.

What sort of country do we live in when women are being given advice on mainstream TV about how to keep themselves safe if a policeman approaches them in the street?

some of us absorbed the lie that when you grow up you have to stop liking fun things and start liking adult things, but the happiest people I know are those who embrace what they love without shame.

IT IS SNOWING IN LONDON. All other news is cancelled for a bit. All dogs taller than a cereal box are drafted as sled dogs for deliveroo. More than 15 snowmen in one park is considered a house party. It is glorious.

I'm a bit confused as to why Greenwich and Lewisham aren't on this list when Covid rates here are much higher than some of the boroughs included in this? teapawt.org/UKCovid19Stats/status/… (I hope it isn't Williamson being petty after he sued Greenwich for trying to close schools early?)

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas. I am approaching this with anthropological precision. Here are a few observations.
