Can't put it down!
Just in case you missed it at the back, I've got a book out this week!

This one took me a year to write with three research trips to Paris & was a totally different experience to previous books...

Reminder to anyone who needs it today:
Dreaming is resistance.
Kindness is resistance.
Art is resistance.
Make art. Make hope. Dream a better world. Resist.

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.
