Actual footage of a Cardiff lecturer calling her students ‘idiots’ for wanting a safety net policy, joking they’re starting an ‘uprising’ and calling them ‘ridiculous’ for sharing petitions
v sick of this interview format and I think any journalist that has put painstaking hours of research into interviewing a celeb (or even attaining an interview with a celeb!) would feel the same
boyfriend just told me he once referred to a London building as a "BTEC Eiffel tower" in an article and the BTEC press office called him up and said it was offensive
can't help but notice that despite the Mail's dissecting coverage of each minute from the Harry and Meghan eps, there isn't a story on Harry saying, verbatim: "I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did" wonder why!!!!!!!
Everyone has been hurt by the pandemic, but uni students are one of the groups that is most overlooked and unacknowledged. Here’s me getting angry about it
Daniel Khalife pleading not guilty to breaking out of prison is objectively so funny. What’s he gonna say. I got lost ? Someone else strapped me to the bottom of that food van ?
is anyone else finding it hard when their mates have flats bought for them by their parents? do you feel a small secret resentment over them not having to pay rent (or paying a v reduced rate?) - really keen to see if this is a thing other ldn ppl are feeling too

so glad my good friend Paul Mescal has been nominated for an Oscar. He's not picking up the phone right now because I don't have his number and we don't know each other but I'm still really proud of him
not that I'm too deep into this royal scandal but do think its a bit mental that this pic of Kate and Will's "mate" (I shall say no more) Rose Hanbury w her sister and Tony Blair was taken in the same villa as the one in Succession's season 3 finale. Niche!
I’m at the Evening Standard now freelancing for their Insider section (she’s doing features again!!!) so if you have any fun tips or just want to bother me pls email maddy.mussen

Ok this went kinda big so: giving £25 to Refuge right now is enough to provide a mum and her kids who’ve fled domestic abuse with a Christmas dinner - if this tweet affected you, this is how you can help

Team Pizza Express is deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty The Queen.

@emilylolman
Yes I did think this! But Zach Galifianakis, Eric Andre etc all had made significant progress in their careers before they got their shows and started interviewing ppl like this, they weren’t unknowns being handed Drake interviews
Hehe xxx beyond gassed to announce that I’ve been nominated for the Features Award as part of the

Awards 2021 !! I won’t shut up about this ever x
What with Maya Jama presenting Love Island in a week there's no better time to remind u all of when her and Stormzy used to tweet about the show so much he went on it and got in trouble with Olivia Attwood for bad mouthing her

Another day another mental health interview - with Maddy Mussen of My London - 23 and going places judging how many pieces she seems to be getting out of one chat
@mylon
After Michael Gove said people who refuse to be vaccinated are selfish, is it selfish not to get the vaccine?
Journalist Maddy Mussen believes it's not a 'smart or wise decision' not to get the jab. But, Joel Beya, who is fully vaccinated says people should have the choice.
end of year round-up for the ol' journalism career!! This year I started a mental health campaign with my colleagues at The Tab following the alarming rise in student suicides, was published in VICE, and created an internship for BAME student writers
petition for all MPs to post pictures of their Christmas living situations while holding a newspaper dated 25th December like a hostage to prove THEY stayed in London with only immediate family
So so so happy to find out I’ve made it onto the
@MHPC
30 To Watch list waaah! no one is home rn so I told my dog and he just went back to sleep which was humbling
My article about suicidal posts on university confessions pages was mentioned on

today in conversation with the Universities Minister! Nice to see plans being made for Xmas but doesn’t undo the harm they’ve already caused
The Cholmondeley Ladies (circa 1600-1610) is a painting raising many questions. Today we're not going to talk about the puzzle in pegging down the identities of the women - we will focus on a different, more mundane puzzle...

@hannahlouisef
his campus is also Royal Holloway Uni, which means he walks eight hours to get to spitalfields FIRST before heading to South Ken. madness
Speaking to men who've had to hide the fact that they're sober - or even broken sobriety just to get people off their backs - made me realise that if someone says they aren't drinking tonight, it's never alright to push them
Noticed a while ago that people have stopped letting others off the tube before getting on/think it’s ok to play TikToks full volume on the bus like a year 7 blasting Replay by Iyaz on his Sony Ericsson on the way to school. Anyway here’s what I found out
I’ll be on BBC’s The Big Questions this Sunday at 10.30am to talk about how lockdown has been affecting young people, esp uni students. I only hope I can live up to this guy
going to 3 festivals + carnival in 3 weeks has wrecked my body and I’m currently feeling v sorry for myself BUT it was all worth it for Lost Village, a festival I’d truly recommend to anyone and everyone
there’s an article which is v personal for me in today’s Evening Standard - for reasons that will become clear upon reading. Misophonia is a hellish thing to have, so the girls that get it GET IT
This piece I wrote for
@VICEUK
means a lot to me. I'd watched Kyra and PAQ since episode six, and was really invested in its presenters and the company as a whole. Then Kyra's talent spoke out, and I had to rethink everything:
looking to speak to gen Zs with big/impressive job titles for a piece in the Evening Standard - are you a general manager at 23? an editor in chief at 25? a CEO at 26? get in tooooouch

I’m going to be on
@TimesRadio
tomorrow talking about what the past year has been like in lockdown for someone in their 20s. Listen in if you want! I am going to try very hard not to swear x
If you’re awake I should be on Good Morning Britain at 8.15am debating whether choosing not to get a vaccine is selfish! Once again only want to live up to this guy
not saying I like Cummings but this is two years in a row that he’s given us an absolute SHOW. Prime watching material. It’s just the drama. I love it x
