As I work in the heritage sector, I would like to say that there is only one instance when glass floors might be ok (as long as you have accessibility adjustments available) - when it's on top of ruins. E.g. this is one of my fave places, a lost medieval synagogue in Barcelona

There absolutely should be universal basic income in the UK if there's a second lockdown but can we please remind everyone it's not UBI if:
- there is any means testing (yes, that means even rich people get it)
- it doesn't cover basic living costs (£48/week won't to cut it)

i did one lecture for a london university and rather than paying me by invoice like a normal organisation, they put me on payroll involving onerous right to work checks, put me on the monthly pay run and then immediately issued a p45. all for like £150. totally makes sense.

Did you just learn Miriam Margoyles is gay? Yep. It's so weird how it's not talked about much. I wonder why? Maybe cause talking about older's women's sexuality is so taboo. Fiona Shaw, aka Aunt Petunia, is also gay. 💜🌈💜
