RT by @BootstrapCook: 🧵Hey, @Twitter! I know everything’s kind of a bin fire your end at the moment but would you consider a small but huge tweak to the block function? When someone blocks an account, it would be great if it automatically blocked ALL their linked/signed in accounts simultaneously🧌

R to @Xeraphale: Ah sorry, that’ll learn me not to skim read. Have been in a meeting so didn’t clock my error til now - sorry again for tweeting in haste and hope it hasn’t caused you any trouble. I’ll delete! X

R to @Xeraphale: I’m very relieved to see nobody jumped on it - I think it was clear to everyone but me what had happened there, thank goodness. Feel like a sheepish ninny but more importantly, v relieved you’re ok. And thanks for being so gracious about it.

R to @Nightnewsdotnet: I have 500k followers, I have gone private several times to combat this and tweets get leaked and shared anyway. I can’t possibly check every single account to follow me to see who might be a bad faith actor in this.

R to @Jarzinio35: Semi-permanent these days. I’ve had personal security at any listed/known public events for a while, after direct firm advice from the Police. I don’t leave the house alone after dark (v limiting in winter). CCTV all around my home. And now moving house… Exhausting way to live.

R to @BootstrapCook: (There are admittedly worse situations to find oneself in than being routinely escorted around by a rolling roster of protective hunks, it’s like having an entire posse of big mean brothers, but the reasons behind it are less than ideal!)

My nickname among a group of v good friends is ‘Shelby’, mostly because I did a fancy dress party a few weeks ago and haven’t quite stopped since. Anyway tonight I walked into the room and one of them shouted ‘Oi oi, Perky Blinder’, and I haven’t stopped giggling about it since.

R to @BootstrapCook: I’m usually a sports-bra-and-squash-em kinda thing, but I really really need to do a dark wash, so I’m all out of squashes. I thought nobody would notice 🤣 Anyway. It’s been a rough old day on here, so have some (consensual, surprising) boobs and a much needed laugh. Goodnight!

R to @HammerToe: It’s generally perpendicular to how I feel: when I feel like self loathing miserable s, I armour up externally. When I feel good, secure + okay I’ll happily go out barefaced in a mismatched tracksuit and boots. TV industry trick: courtesy of 10 years of lovely makeup artists.

R to @Tyrinic: Ha I’d just had a very lovely, uplifting, gorgeous time with a massive bunch of friends. That’s my sober-and-grateful-bliss face. It’s always fleeting, but it’s there somewhere.

R to @tanb2002: I’d just had a very lovely, uplifting, really supportive and hilarious evening with friends - and a few hours utterly oblivious to Twitter - that’s my contented, connected, gratefully sober face. It peeks out from under the grizzle every now and then 🤣

R to @PoliticsSmall: You mean, like this recent essay on my blog, right here? I know it’s terribly convenient for y’all to ignore anything that doesn’t fit your narrative, but I’m EXHAUSTED by this. Literally still in a months-long serious mental breakdown. Please, for the love of god, leave me alone

R to @BootstrapCook: This has been going on a while, including leaping on the couch (that’s where I sleep lol, figured I may as well get used to it!) and burying the squeaky carrot under me, then burrowing it back out again. 10/10 for effectiveness, I usually need about 20 phone alarms 🚨
