R to @Colin_Bloor: I have done it a couple of times, and co presented a 2 week spinoff of it in lockdown that was GREAT fun! I’ve been turning down tv cookery slots lately because my confidence has been shot to bits by harassment and abuse, but I’m emerging again back into the good place 💕

R to @mrjimBob: I never want to see the words JRM and ‘flirts’ in the same place again

(and it looks like the typical intimidation tactics of those with power and money to me, but I’m not a lawyer…)

RT by @BootstrapCook: "IRREGARDLESS" HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1795. ITS INCLUSION IN THE DICTIONARY IS NOT A SIGN OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE FALLING TO PIECES, OR PROOF OF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FAILING, NOR IS IT THE WORK OF CURSED MILLENNIALS. IT JUST MEANS A LOT OF PEOPLE USE IT TO MEAN "REGARDLESS."

R to @MartinDaubney: They’re not missing; they’re exactly where they’ve always been, and I’m doing exactly what I said I’d do with it. (I’m quiet because I have a very full and pleasant life outside of Twitter!)

There’s much to huff about with the New Twitter but I REALLY like the ‘folders’ section in Bookmarks and have been using it to make lil piles of The Good Side Of Twitter.

So copy a link to your fave funny/cute/nature tweet and drop it below so I can add them to my collections!

RT by @BootstrapCook: If you have ADHD, there are several thought patterns that can lead to poor impulse control and difficulties regulating emotion. Some of the most common are:

"I'll definitely remember to do this later"
"This should be easy, but it's difficult for me"
"I should get bangs".

R to @KEdge23: Actually I hate attention, as anyone who has spent any time with me in person will attest to. I’m the one in the kitchen at parties, doing the washing up. I go red when I speak up in any 12 step fellowship meeting. And I turn down 99% of media/public requests. Have a lovely day.

R to @lynnielou80: I seem to have absolutely no record of this (I’ve checked, nobody ‘flung’ me anything like this!) but if you DM me the details, I’ll happily fling it right back.

RT by @BootstrapCook: Being todays Dead Cat on Twitter is HORRIBLE. If at any point in the last 10 years I, my work, activism, campaigning, books, writing etc had any kind of positive impact on you or someone you love, can you ping me a tweet & let me know? This relentless, intolerable abuse can’t win

R to @SmoothSnailAnts: I can confirm I have never been paid that for any speaking gig, or anything anywhere near it. I’ve got 6 events in the next couple of weeks, most of them entirely unpaid.

R to @Disco_Stooo_: I…think I know my own contracts a damn sight better than you do.

R to @StevenNathans1: Because I’m exhausted, my mental and physical health are absolutely shot to pieces, and I figured focusing my energies on staying sober and alive were probably a better idea. I guess I figured it was preferable to be happy (working on it!) than to be right on this one.
