When I told people I was off to a tech founder longevity retreat on a private island, most said ‘what, like that blood boy billionaire?’ 😨

Thankfully, that wasn't the case: for @sifted.eu, here's how the next gen of founders are thinking about longevity: sifted.eu/articles/lon...

Wrote about my grandad knocking on the door every Saturday when I was a kid with bags full of shopping and a Lion bar in his pocket — and how times, and the high street we once frequented, have changed

Happy publication day to Patrick McCabe's Goldengrove, out now (unbound.com/products/gol...)

A perfect time to revisit the brilliant piece Pat wrote for us, on the joy and terror of seeing his 1992 masterpiece, The Butcher Boy, get turned into a major film: www.boundlessmagazine.com/p/when-holly...

I've only just now read @sadianowshin.bsky.social 's lovely introduction to my last article for @boundlessmagazine.bsky.social and I'm touched and think it rather enhances the experience -- read both together - and weep freely.

My latest for Cosmopolitan UK (!): over a decade since breakup, fans suspect that Selena Gomez continues to live rent-free in Bieber’s head — but how do you deal with an ex that just won’t go away?

I spoke to psychologist Jo Coker for her advice: www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

Wrote a little piece on trying to recreate nostalgic meals when generations of your family have never written a recipe down, and instead you have a Whatsapp instruction from your mum telling you to ‘leave it to simmer until the rice looks right’ 👩‍🍳

I think a lot about the 'plot holes' in family stories; the parts of anecdotes that are lost when we lose people. I've particularly been thinking about it this week, on the sixth anniversary of my grandad's passing — and wrote a little bit on those feelings for @boundlesslit.bsky.social yesterday

in year 6 our one segregated day of sex ed consisted of the girls passing a single pad around the circle and the boys watching a video about their changing bodies, and we were banned from discussing either session with anyone afterwards

One of my 2025 goals is to do more fun creative stuff in my spare time and try new crafty things — this weekend I painted a £1 mini milk jug (?) I found in a charity shop and made it into a cute candle holder :)
