This has been my pinned tweet since forever.
Let's start here, and proceed from this.
Happy New Year everyone.

Scarborough Council has cancelled its NYE fireworks because there’s a walrus having a kip on the front, which is possibly the finest story to end 2022 we could ask for. theguardian.com/uk-news/2022…
Pay them appropriately.
Fund the NHS properly.
Stop insulting them.
Stop being deceitful in your (mis)handling of the strike action.
And apologise to us all, & to future generations, for the horrors we are seeing.
The NHS is dying. You are killing it.
Contemptible.
Congratulations to all those in the NHS & social care being honoured this year, including nurses, GPs, pharmacists, volunteers and care home managers.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication

I’m wishing everyone all the best for 2023.
Fuck all this skint, fearful, uptight, hating, snidey bitterness shit we get foisted on us by the controllers with their vested interests.
It’s time for the roaring 20’s to really get going. Here’s to 2023!
Big love 👍💚🕺🐊

2022 has been a tough year for many people struggling to get by.
It’s also been an extraordinary year of solidarity, community & kindness.
I will enter the New Year in the same way I left this one: with hope that we can build a more sustainable, caring & peaceful world for all.

Your favourite #poems with a sense of things coming to an end, or new beginnings?

Goodbye Vivienne Westwood. A ballsy lady who rocked the fashion world and stood defiantly for what was right. Love Paul x

She amplified him, did she? Or did she just respond to someone who trolled her on Twitter? Why are we expecting the 19 year old to be the grown up here? She had every right to defend herself and frankly her response was bloody genius. You are misattributing responsibility here.

Patti Smith was born OTD in 1946. In a 2016 interview she said her favourite things include a first edition of Finnegans Wake signed by Joyce in green ink. "The book is almost unreadable," she said, "but as an object it’s beautiful."
The bloody cheek of this. The victim blaming. The deflection. The toxicity of this angle.
What a bunch of bastards they are.
Good riddance to 2022 - the year the country became ungovernable.

For the 'never heard of him', or 'oh, just another toxic male' crowd - he's well known to school safeguarding teams. His influence is pernicious & real; his videos viewed 10s of BILLIONS of times. Don't dismiss his reach & dangerousness just because he's outside your sphere. 1/2

My 92 yr old mother is lying on the floor at Warwick Hospital in agony. No trolleys. My brother, a doctor, is with her & said it is an absolute #ShitShow. Is this what we've let happen???? #NHSisBroken #GTTO
Revisiting Vic Reeves' Big Night Out with the boys, & the endless inventiveness is just stunning.
My eldest remembers EVERYTHING - every little one-liner - & has been just throwing them out every now & then as we go about our day & it has rendered me entirely unable to function.
