🧵 On Those Classic Cultural Twitter Accounts

Someone on here questioned why I would say that accounts like the one below are dog whistles for white supremacy.

Well, ok. Let's do this.

As my 17-year-old would say, this is ass. I’m currently at the bottom of the garden in the twilight, watching him make dinner through the kitchen window. He was 6 when he was diagnosed with an aggressive leukaemia. We owe literally everything to the NHS.

Quite apart from how deeply infantilising this is to people who can get married, have kids, join the armed services, take on thousands in student debt, work as lawyers, doctors, teachers, but still not understand their own gender identity: Shamima Begum isn't yet 25 years old.

Everytime I go on Twitter, I just see
people being algorithmically-rewarded for performatively unkind behaviour.

Meanwhile on Instagram, I learn amazing ideas from people all over the world who once would never have a platform to share them.

Come join me over there, guys.

I’m in a London cab with some durian.

It’s wrapped in cellophane, inside a Tupperware, which I have zip locked and put in a satchel.

I thought I was safe, but 5 mins into the ride the driver has cracked a window.

He must think it’s me.

Hey!

I’ve explained the many ways that idea of a collapse in nutrients in crops is silly.

From its origins in white supremacist conspiracy theories to corporate funding.

However, here’s the simplest: If nutrients in our food have collapsed. Why so have nutrient deficiencies?

Had fun planting up this porous ceramic wine cooler.

More pics on insta and a ‘how to’ video dropping there next week. X

I am 100% behind farmers protests.

But some of their spokespeople really aren’t doing themselves any favours.

Just listened to a guy rejecting green regulations, while claiming British food was the best in the world because of….. green regulations.
