    It's sort of surreal living on Plague Island with the worst death rate in the world (by far) This is just happening around us, and I feel like it's been so traumatic that we've collectively reached a state of emotional numbness

    I can’t stop thinking about how weird it is that in Before Times we celebrated our birthdays by blowing our germs all over a cake and then feeding it to our friends

    A nice map of how the number 99 is expressed in Europe's languages, not least as it highlights how, er, unique Danish is ("ni og halvfems" literally translates as "nine and half-fives")

    Again I remind you to take a moment. Deep breath. Drink some water. Your phone is a source of stress, so set it down. No, not there. Put it in a hole. Cover that hole with consecrated earth. Salt that earth. Now don’t blink or oh fuck the phone is in your hand again what the fuck

    One of the biggest lies from social networks is that it's too hard to remove toxic content. They're doing it now; they could have been doing it from the start.

    Lifelong member of team ADHD but only got my formal invitation late 2019, which made 2020 the year of the steep learning curve, let me tell you. This 🧵sums up everything I had to learn in just a few words. It will help you, even if you don't usually have brain drama! 👏👏👏❤️❤️

    Good morning everyone. As a representative of team ADHD I would like to tell you about ‘executive function’ because you’ve probably lost a lot of yours. It’s temporary. (Ours is permanent so - we know what we’re about.) Executive function is the ability to stay on top of things.

    I doubt there are many outside of Norway that know that the Norwegian pop group A-ha was critical in the introduction of electric car incentives in Norway. I certainly didn't. Read on...

    Injecting some art into the timeline. This was an amazing show and it deserves way more than a mere 850 likes. Those 14 downvoters... see me after.

    I applaud the people brave enough to leave the Trump administration now. It takes courage. After airline flights, I too have been known to unbuckle my seatbelt moments before the aircraft has "come to a complete stop," so I have experienced this level of courage first hand.

    Love and miss the arts? If you're able to, you can help the theatrical charity with this small purchase... I'm using mine to remind myself that there IS a horizon out there and every vaccination gets us closer to enjoying live theatre again!

    Until we can have theatre in our lives, at least have some on your wall in 2021! Adorn your walls with this beauty whilst supporting our Covid recovery & theatrical charity with The Lazarus 2021 Calendar. Please RT,❤️& buy.

    Hi. American foreign correspondent here. Just, er, a reminder to my domestic media peers that we don't call them "protesters" when it goes down like this when we report on other countries. And today honestly, is kind of a test of your judgment about that.

    “We can't play into the hands of these people. Go home..." Trump lies again about the election. He tells them he knows how they feel, they are special & he loves them. He cannot tell them this is wrong. He cannot say he lost. A US President shredding democracy, openly.
