Love it when people send me ideas for new projects. Sure, I'd love to! It's not like I'm busy doing all the shit I already do or anything! Ideas are *extremely* cheap: time and money. That's what I need.
I understand techy people get this when their friends casually go 'I've had an idea for an app you could build!' - authors/bloggers get it with 'you should write a book/TV show about X' or 'start a website where you...' or 'ask people about Y and then write it up!'
Sorry, I know this is grumpy, but it's the week before Christmas and I am in a panic about not getting enough content written/scheduled to keep things afloat till Jan. So suggesting 'You should create X brand new thing!!' no matter how well-meant, is exhausting right now.
I am honoured that people would like me to do more stuff, and I would LOVE to. But what I really need is for people to please buy some of the stuff I already offer, then when I'm making enough I have time for new things!

Meanwhile, because it's nearly Christmas I'm gonna do a thread of some of the cool #SexToys that have been on the site this year which you might like to buy.
Had a v interesting chat on @BBCWomansHour with @MariaMillerUK and @Kate_Isaacs (who's doing sterling work holding Pornhub accountable). We talked a bit about child safety and porn, so here's a thread of helpful ISP tools for parents.
I mention this because any action the government takes on porn will never (can never) be as effective as parents + carers taking the time to educate your children and block sites on your home network.
Virgin media: virginmedia.com/shop/broadband…
BT: home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/i…
There are loads more! Whoever provides your internet should give you the tools to block certain types of site (and individual sites). Take time to explore it in lockdown if you're worried.
