I have been here, about 20 years ago. My main memory is the “authentic medieval lunch”. I was vegetarian at the time. My friends were served a delicious roast. I got… a cabbage

It’s hard to know for sure, of course, but I wonder how much misogyny is part of the response to my cartoons. 1/4

This is just devastating. Glen Hansard and his former band The Frames were huge influences on me. I went to a couple of his gigs back in the day. Incredible experiences. That voice and sense of soul. share.google/CwA6bIIUBvvq...

If we’re going to be pragmatic about solving climate change (which I agree is urgent and alarming) it makes most sense, surely, to work with what we have, within existing, known systems. 1/3

I think this is my favourite Pictish carving, the utter confidence in the line with what its depicting, a close breathing familiarity to the natural world. Is it a tribal marker? Showing where these animals are found bountiful? Just a sheer joy of expression, a gratitude to these beings existing?

Having spent a very happy 18 months sinking into its 3,000 pages, I have written about why reading Proust is essential in the 21st century as.ft.com/r/32995bbf-8...
Proust in the age of TikTok
The French writer’s seven-volume magnum opus was a challenging choice for a book club — but its evocation of the human psyche makes essential reading for our times

It was a real privilege to be able to discuss my cancer, my curiosity about Nova and my interest in hot button issues, and how my approach to all these has been governed by my Quaker faith.

A lot of people who don’t like my posts are calling me privileged. I find this odd because I’ve never claimed I didn’t have privilege. I’ve been open about the privileges I do have. 1/5
I wrote from the heart about some of the reaction to Ann Widdecombe's death and why hate is so corrosive to progressive politics. labourlist.org/2026/07/my-p...
My political opponent is not my enemy - LabourList
Ann Widdecombe campaigned for things that were anathema to me. I hope my politics wins. But I refuse to weaken that politics by dehumanising it with hate.

Hayley's threads are *so* on-point that, if I'm not careful, my whole timeline is just going to be Haley quote-/re-posts. Really good stuff.
