To my overachieving friends, who learned it in school and carried it with them ever since: you are not a leaky vessel of worth that must always be topped up. The universe does not count achievements, and you will not get a good grade at the end.
The guilt I feel taking one day off a week when my to-do list is so neverending is exactly why I need to enforce one day a week off but I’m very very bad at this. Like, the whole day I’ll feel guilty, like I’m letting my work & our audience & my colleagues down or something.

Not quite this, but: if you want to signify it’s the 1960s, especially outside the capital, you don’t get a load of 1960s cars in. You get in cars from the 50s, the 40s, even the 30s, among a few from the 60s. People made do with old cars for longer, and the way cars looked was changing rapidly.
Film and TV makers: cast fat people. Cast them in roles other than the funny friend. Roles where their fatness is not part of the plot. Lead roles. Romantic roles. Cast fat people in your “beautiful people” club scene. Don’t write/cast small roles where a fat person is used as shorthand for [x] type
Fellow fat people/people who wear plus sizes: what would real solidarity from your thinner friends & family look like for you? (Once again, asking thin & midsize people to sit this one out & just listen. Take notes & take action!)

Many people - politicians, doctors, parents - see the neurodiversity movement & feel the threat it poses to their worldview. If some minds are different, if some of us are fucked by the school system as it stands - totally shamed & brutalised by its inadequacy - that requires radical change.
There’s a charity in King’s Lynn who provide heavily subsidised proper talk therapy to people in the area. They are the One To One project and they are great. www.121help.org
Years-long NHS waiting lists for basic CBT that does fuck all for many people. A media that proactively undermines reality for people who have ADHD, autism, and severe mental health issues. 'Just get a bit of exercise! Why not go for coffee with a friend?'

In 2018 I was working in private practice and was on maternity leave. I was invited to the office Christmas party. In the taxi, on the way home, the Managing Partner stuck his tongue in my mouth. I called my line manager (whose mobile number I had) and immediately reported it. (2)

That shouldn’t be my guilt to carry. My (male) line manager should carry that. He told me he couldn’t fight for me because the Managing Partner would pick on him and he just wanted to retire quietly. Men, do better. Call out shit behaviour. Support women. Believe women. (6)

Needs to be legalised, regulated, and treated as a medical issue when misused. Drugs policy in this country is insane.
It feels like Britain and ireland needs to start talking about the mass scale of cocaine usage that seems to be happening Just got off train to bunch of lads outside station playing techno and snorting lines. But seen similar in rural ireland And that’s before get to the ‘patriots’
I often remember David Mitchell saying he was opposed to the name Peep Show because it sounded seedy and misleading, but of course ultimately the name of a thing doesn’t matter much because it soon just becomes the name of the thing. There are too many over-thought and over-written names in fiction.
