Tip of the day: Don't put the tv on. Don't put the news on. Not yet. Enjoy the peace of the morning. Drink tea. Or coffee. Enjoy your moments. Everything can wait. Worry later. It's still a good day. Soak it up.

I refuse to apologise for expecting adults to take responsibility for the families they choose to create. The two child benefit cap should stay I shouldn’t have to pay more tax, in order for someone to have 5/6 kids when I can’t afford to have one https://t.co/M7cCDB6omT

The internet was supposed to make knowledge more accessible. In reality it’s dulled our curiosity and drowned what’s beautiful & true in a sea of slop. Young people are growing up with no sense of history or culture and it’s because the amount of noise makes learning impossible.

Trying to rekindle my relationship with porridge. Because I'm feeling so cold. Hope my Greek yogurt isn't sulking in the fridge.

The trouble with longing for simplicity, as I do, is there’s no money in it.

Advice for my 16-year-old self (in today's world): 1. Your first job (16) should be as a waiter Developing soft skills, dealing with difficult customers, and working with immigrants, convicts, dropouts, addicts, single moms, and people who don't even have passports will teach

I'm finding it interesting to see people's first reactions to music. Here's a nice couple listening to one of my favourite Tom Waits songs. ( ignore auto-gen lyrics 🙄) Tom Waits - Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis (REACTION) with https://t.co/LkzmSzuXgB via @YouTube

My favourite thing right now is watching various young people see this song performed for the first time. Yes, music back then was pretty awesome and interesting. 😂 Classical musician reacts - LIFE DURING WARTIME (live) - Talking Heads F... https://t.co/JeBfliy9YL via @YouTube

Sitting in my local old pub that has been an inn of sorts for 1000 years, and having a quiet drink with a (good) book. This may become my thing. 👍

Just set my timer for spring.

*House of Dynamite

Just watched that film ‘House Full of Dynamite’, so you don’t have to. You don’t have to. So don’t. Just don’t. Well acted isn’t good enough.

We need to stop calling it a ‘peace plan,’ even with sarcastic quotes around it. Call it the US-Kremlin plan or similar. ‘US-Kremlin plan’ shames the US and makes it sound deeply unappealing to the broader US and European publics.

The US-Kremlin plan won’t just destroy Ukraine & endanger Europe — every dictator worldwide will read it as a message that aggression pays. Russia must lose, badly. European failure to show strength now & ensure 🇺🇦 victory will open a Pandora’s box of war. https://t.co/jcKYFlHk20

Guilty.

@NASA Spider Nebula is farther than 3/I ATLAS but somehow NASAHubble manage to get this 👇

Interesting that the finally released images of 3iAtlas are dreadful, and the official release was underwhelming. Something strange is happening here. And that doesn’t mean I’m wearing a tin foil hat.

I know I keep banging on but it’s really tough for #SmallBusiness at the moment. The husband just found me having a little cry in my studio. He’s making me a hot Vimto and I’m having a word with myself. Have a look at my website and please retweet. https://t.co/y5rij6kICr
