the nicest, mildest woman in the office is on a teams call and has just chuckled and said "you know, i could go off. i could go off. you wouldn't like it, but i could go off" and i've never been more scared in my life. i want her to go off
bananas are slightly radioactive. i feel like this gets overlooked a lot. some banana trees can walk (only around 40cm, sure, but it's still WALKING). they're walking radioactive fruit. we're far too relaxed about this.
temp said i was going to scare off our callers with my phone voice and the line manager cut across him with "just for your own preservation, it's going to harm your career if you keep talking to women like this" and there's been a SHARP INTAKE OF BREATH AND A SUDDEN SILENCE
Lady Hale looks like the kind of sweet old lady who'd make you tea and offer you a biscuit and then sits down to tell you about all her assassination missions she did for the resistance during the war in occupied France
if anyone wants an update, she's currently gossiping with someone opposite me and they're having the darkest giggle i've ever heard from a pair of mums in an office
Having babies change us. Near-death experiences change us.

How did one of the world’s wealthiest economies end up with housing so unfit for extreme weather? I wrote about how Edwardian moralising, cheap coal and Thatcher's bonfire of housings standards has left British homes unprepared to weather climate change.
CAN TV SHOWS GET THE SOUND BALANCE WORKED OUT SO I DON'T KEEP HAVING TO TURN THE VOLUME RIGHT UP FOR DIALOGUE ONLY TO THEN HAVE EVERY OTHER NOISE FROM CUTLERY TO GUNS TO APPLAUSE BLOODY DEAFEN ME I don't ask for much
You know what if you're going to have a row in the middle of our street at 1.30am on a Friday you better damn well enunciate clearly like you're performing Shakespeare so we can all eavesdrop or else not bother
Purest act of optimism I've ever seen: a young labrador in the park trotted up to a huge sod of a crow, dropped his tennis ball in front of it, and hunkered down wagging his tail, waiting for the bird to play with him

someone was saying yesterday about how they worked with someone who thought if they copied something and moved the mouse to another machine it'd copy that thing over and this, this is that same energy
I will remember the time a woman told me as I was washing my hands that I "passed very well" for the rest of my life. She said it like it was an honour to bestow upon me, a gift of recognition. I'm cis. It isn't and never was her honour to bestow.

@joelgolby
they're a walking radioactive berry from a herb. and the most famous bananas we're used to are clones. and the banana that gave us banana flavour is extinct. it's a horror story fruit, joel.

Please for the love of god check the replies to a tweet before answering it, you're very likely to be repeating what loads of other people have said already and it's very boring how many people don't seem to realise this
