This is your annual reminder: propaganda isn’t a media-only weapon. It comes from politicians, journalists, influencers, activists, groups, friends and strangers. Don’t just believe what fits your side. Check the source, evidence and context. Question the rhetoric. Think critically.

Halloween costume reveal: I’m going as Ariana Grande’s tour curtain. 🎃✨ No face, no personality, just standing there looking expensive while everyone waits for me to reveal something. 💀😭

Asked someone to remove me from their Instagram Close Friends because the hyper-sexualised content and fishing for personal answers wasn't for me. Got a stroppy attitude back. 😂 You do you, but don't take it personally when someone opts out. I don't even know you, and I never asked to be added ever

Ryanair advertising “cheap” flights is genuinely performance art. Add a bag, pick a seat, breathe oxygen at the airport and suddenly it costs more than a return flight to the USA for two weeks. 💀✈️

An hour ago, police said they wouldn’t name the person killed by the tiger out of respect for the family’s wishes. An hour later, the media are plastering his name across every outlet. The family asked for privacy. How has this happened, and why are their wishes being ignored? I don't get it.

I’m turning 39 on Friday. Birthdays have been complicated for me since childhood. I was always terrified of death and the feeling that every year brought me closer to it. Therapy helped me find peace with that in my twenties, but I still can’t enjoy birthdays like some people do.

This might be the most pretentious status update I’ve ever posted, but I’ve started paying a company to wash, dry and fold my clothes every two weeks. They come back immaculate, smelling amazing and beautifully folded. It costs me £11 with my Revolut discount. I have officially outsourced laundry.

Trying to sit downstairs in peace and read, while the people two walls away are apparently having a very enthusiastic evening. 😭 I genuinely cannot get a second of peace and quiet. I love my friends, but fucking hell, I just wanted to read my book. 😂

Yesterday I worked my butt off for 4 solid hours, plus prep the night before, to bring a traditional English roast dinner to Michigan and feed 9 very hungry boys. 😂 I was so overwhelmed by pulling it off that I lost my vibe and ended up feeling so deflated. 😭

Jet blue cabin announcements have me howling, they wheeled out a proper comedy act for this connecting flight 😂

MAN - DUB DUB - BOS BOS - DTW If I don't sleep for this entire journey I'm gonna have been awake for over 20 hours and my friend the other end is gonna hate me for at least the first night where I'm over tired and jet lagged 🤣💀

I want traditional values and something genuine, but apparently that’s a rare find in the UK dating pool. Add being a picky bitch into the mix, and looking abroad always seems like a better idea. 😂

Sent my iPhone 17 Pro in for a £700 trade-in, only to be told it’s now worth £470 because apparently it’s “scratched all over.” Funny, because it was immaculate when I packaged and shipped it. I’ve got photos to prove the condition it was in when it left me, so let’s see how this one plays out… 🤨📱

If they’ve damaged my iPhone after I sent it to them and are now claiming it was already scratched, they’d better have some very good evidence. I have photos proving it was immaculate when I shipped it. If they’ve damaged it while it was in their possession, I’ll be taking legal action.

And separately, they’ve claimed the phone was on monthly finance when it was bought outright, then claimed it was network locked despite their own initial testing confirming it wasn’t. At this point, I’m genuinely wondering what phone they think I sent them. 😂

“Reform can’t be racist because Zia Yusuf is a person of colour” is like a homophobe saying, “How can I be homophobic? My brother’s gay.” Having a minority figure in your party doesn't magically make racist or anti-migrant politics impossible.

Just finished the gym and now walking up Canal Street topless and absolutely drenched, AirPods in, smirking at my fellow homosexuals as they objectify me. I can’t hear a fucking thing, but I can see, and I’m pretty sure I can lip-read. 😂

Rough few weeks mentally, but I’m still showing up! The gym is my happy place, but I’m also learning to say yes more, get out, make memories and enjoy the amazing people around me. Still here. Still growing. Still enjoying life. ❤️

Apple’s event was quite something. But what struck me most was Tim Cook’s final hurrah as the face of Apple events before John Ternus takes over. After years of Tim front and centre, it really feels like the end of an era. And with Apple entering a new one, anything could happen.

So if I trade in my iPhone 17 Pro and sell my Pixel 11 Pro XL that'll get me the sweet spot for affording the iPhone duo.

Welcome to all my new followers! 👋 Just a little warning: it’s very easy to get whiplash around here. One minute I’m talking about something serious, the next I’m being ridiculous, then we’ve somehow taken a sharp left turn into something completely unrelated. Strap in and enjoy the roller coaster

Not usually one to get particularly excited about blowjobs, but recently I’ve really been craving one. I fear a new era may be upon us. 👀

Just fallen out with someone who seemed really lovely and I’d been talking to for ages. They’re excited for HBO’s Harry Potter. I explained why I won’t watch it, and got “agree to disagree”. When you have trans friends and family, you don’t get to treat everything as an abstract disagreement.

This has actually pissed me off now because I got the whole "I don't agree with JK Rowling but I'm still gonna watch it" response so I said "you do you, enjoy endorsing her behaviour" and he said "ok" 🤬

£1.71p/l for unleaded is frankly disgusting and is pure greed at this point. Were approaching the same fuel costs as mid pandemic!!!
