Alanis Morissette knew when she wrote it that her song 'Ironic' doesn't define irony.
She made a meta-irony, creating something that appears to miss the point, but, in doing so, perfectly embodies the very concept it seemingly misunderstands. A far supreme form of irony.

Hey 👋🏼 Runner here, and a 42yo mum of two. Any sport brands making shorts for weak pelvic floors yet? And don't forget the pockets 🌟 #running

Last year we paid £58 for our family of 4 to watch MSND with the RSC in Stratford. To watch the Hunger Games on stage in London it's going to cost us a minimum of £320. That's insane.

What if we could continue to have a voice once we can no longer speak?
Just off a call about a book proposal that will change the way we are remembered.

D'off & d'on 😍
The verb ‘to don’, as in ‘to wear’, is a contraction of ‘to do on’, and the verb ‘to doff’, as in ‘to doff a cap’, is a contraction of ‘to do off’.

My son, 12, diagnosed with #T1diabetes a few weeks ago, is now fully independent in school - he's sussed PE, lunch, trips, general day-to-day gubbins... He's an actual superhero, don't you think?

Absolutely ridiculous 😂 My utmost respect to English learners.
The word ‘run’ has overtaken the word ‘set’ for the most meanings in English. It has 645 different definitions.

2 runners/joggers doing laps around the park. Both wearing hoodies and jogging bottoms. I love it. #Running doesn't need fancy kit. A half-decent pair of daps and you're on your way.

Oh no! My writing company is called Broccoli Words and I held out hope that one day they'd call on me to write a script 🥦☹️

Looking to connect with kind people in the Venn diagram of #nutrition, avoiding #ultra-processed food, #Type1 diabetes, and #sport / #exercise. Hook me up 👍🏼

Important language point ⏬ I'll add that HR companies should rename 'probationary periods' for new hires - it sounds punitive, and one-sided, and that we are expected to fail.
if I were writing stories about the gov "firing thousands of probationary workers" I would probably rewrite as "firing thousands of new hires -- who are often on a status called "probation" --" because I think the general understanding of "probation" is "in trouble for something they did"

Ideas please! Is there anyone on #Cameo who has Type 1 Diabetes? Someone my 12yo son would have heard of? He's very newly diagnosed, and could do with a bit of a lift 💕

I've just devoured 'Precipice' by Robert Harris, and had this article for dessert. The whole story is fascinating, intriguing, plus all the other synonyms.

The 06.07 Newport to Padd is a cacophony of commuters.
💤 A woman finds her seat and promptly falls into a deep, honest sleep.
🍴 Someone peels the foil off a full English and tucks in.
💻 Many people are on their laptops and frowning.
🍫 The trolley witch is upselling Twixs and KitKats.
It's lush ☺️

First #parkrun in years, and it's as lovely as it ever was and ever will be. An unexpected 🥇 too, so it's safe to say my NY resolution of only running for pleasure is over 🙄😂

Sandwiched between my Italian and Estonian colleagues, today's language lesson is all about idioms.
🇬🇧 Kill two birds with one stone
🇪🇪 Kill two rabbits with one shot
🇮🇹 Kill two pigeons with one broad bean
I don't think the Italians are taking this seriously.
