Next time we plan to shut down pubs & clubs to prevent the spread of a deadly disease, maybe announce it on a Monday? Or even a Wednesday?
Instead of basically saying "Hey everyone! Tonight's your last chance to PARTTAAAY! Get out there & **** Everything!"
news.sky.com/story/coronavi…
Which is precisely what I expected would happen but didn't want to phrase it like that in case I made it worse.
People had been calling for Boris Johnson to ban commercial gatherings for a while, just as many other countries had done.

The announcement could and should have come long before Friday.

Dear @UKLabour NEC,
Thank you for taking the time out of a deadly global pandemic and a country-wide lockdown to reject my membership application at 1:51am on a Tuesday morning.

I hope you appreciate my response.
#LabourLeadershipElection 🥀
TLDR:
Labour rejected my application for telling the Dems/Greens that my joining was the best thing I could do to help them.

a) That doesn't mean it was my main reason for joining.
b) What's the FIRST THING Labour will say in any electoral pact negotiation? "This will help you"!
Oh and to the people saying now's not the time:

You are the same as the people telling me now's not the time to talk about Brexit when the deadline for the negotiations is in July!
Only with Labour, the deadline for the Leadership elections votes is still in NINE DAYS!

Are we so used to the Tories doing things which to the best of their knowledge (as informed by their experts) will harm people.... that Rishi Sunak does something objectively good for people (sufficient or not), we start a religion around him?
You think I'm being harsh/ uncalled for?

Last I checked we're still heading for a potential No-Deal in December and Rishi Sunak refused to rule it out in the most dishonest way.
So while he may be helping the economy now, he's part of a government that...
I fully support the measures Rishi Sunak announced today in light of #StayHome.
People need it.
But if we act like all is OK because the Tories are feeding us with one hand, even though they're winding up to punch us with the other in December, we're going to go full Stockholm.

You might have the coronavirus and be fine, but if you give it to your elderly relatives, they may die. Keep your distance if you care about them!
#NotTodayCorona #SocialDistancing
Many people are still coughing into their hands, so avoid shaking hands if you want to slow the spread of the disease.
#NotTodayCorona #SocialDistancing
Packed places like bars and clubs are the worst places to be. The disease will spread like wildfire there. Avoid them.

What's in a name?
Why @WHO's formal name for the new #coronavirus #disease matters:

1. Wash your hands often and/or use hand sanitizer more frequently.

2. Try not to touch your face... 🙈

3. Cough into your shirt or arm.

4. Stay home when you are sick.

5. WASH. YOUR. HANDS!

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

🚨Hey everyone!

Tonight is a VERY important FEC fundraising deadline. GOP is targeting swing Dems already, & their campaigns need early strength.

Today I’m going to ask that we chip in what we can 💸 to support some bold swing-seat Dems - all at once: secure.actblue.com/donate/bolddem…
First up: @JahanaHayesCT.

Jahana Hayes is a fmr Nat’l Teacher of the Year and has been kicking butt in Congress.

She ran a tough, bold campaign and hasn’t shied away from championing children and families.

Let’s go in and have her back: secure.actblue.com/donate/bolddem…
Next, let’s send some coin to @KatieHill4CA!

Rep. Hill is a strong, principled fighter on getting money out of politics. Her fortitude is one part of what makes her a great Vice Chair on Oversight.

She’s also kept her word on M4A. Let’s have her back: secure.actblue.com/donate/bolddem…

@sophiejrigney @elizabethmoya @makesmilk @babyfriendly Anthropologist here - I have written about changing ideas about #time and about the regulation of infants quite a bit. These are #culturalideologies that came about in late 19th-early 20th century in response to social changes 1/n
@sophiejrigney @elizabethmoya @makesmilk @babyfriendly the rise of industrial #capitalism changed labor practices and emphasized efficiency and predictability. The #clock was particularly important in this regard.
@sophiejrigney @elizabethmoya @makesmilk @babyfriendly There was a fundamental reworking of #time from a very different understanding - agricultural labor has a very different rhythm (EP Thompson famously wrote about this) jstor.org/stable/649749?…

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
