Claims to be on socials for politics but really here for Taylor Swift updates.
I work in campaigns at a children's charity, read a lot of books (almost exclusively by women), and believe that I deserve a little treat at the end of a good or bad day.

But it unquestionably makes a huge difference for the better, while decades of UK policy on welfare and wages keep making things worse.

Feels a bit cringey to post with so few followers but let 2025 be the year of feeling wick and doing it anyway. Hello pals 👋, it's nice to be away from the cesspit of the other app but I stupidly didn't think to make a list of who I followed there so please help me find my people! 🙏
