My first article from my PhD about the experiences of young gay men growing up in a digital world. It's a double-edged sword! Published today! Read all about it! Thank you everybody for helping me get this far with this work. authors.elsevier.com/a/1dNBj…

This week @commonsPAC scrutinised the Government's plans for #netzero and ending #roughsleeping by 2024. Still lots of work to do. And I challenged the Minister for Schools over #schoolclosures and what plans there are to support pupils with catch-up learning. #schools

@FlightCentre_UK I am waiting for my refund on cancelled flights to Australia from April. Your staff have been very friendly, but no money has been returned to me. I spoke with @Qantas who say the money is back with you. Please can I have it?

@FlightCentre_UK, now @Qantas say to contact the Qantas Agency Connect team to follow up the refund. They'll help with the refund approval. Please can you do this? Thank you
Hello @Qantas I would like to follow-up the refund of flights I booked with you to and from Australia for April and May. Now we are in June, when will I be reimbursed, please? Many thanks

Thank you @hackneycouncil for delivering my replacement recycling bag and compostible liners for my organic waste! I know it is a comparatively low priority service at the moment, but it will help me keep organised and tidy and green! Thank you! #recycling #green #Hackney

Here are my 4 snaps, following the @GettyMuseum #gettychallenge to recreate famous portraits. My twist is that I made one 'kinda major' change to the original in 3 of the 4. So, can you spot which are the 3 cheeky counterfeits and which one is the authentic original? #art #fun

This is a critical time for all of us to support each other. @PeaceFirstOrg have launched a rapid response grant process to help young people (13-25) around the world lead projects that address community impacts of COVID-19. Do you want to take action?👇🏾forms.gle/JjxcPdUHMTpCcttR7

‘In 2016, the UK conducted a pandemic drill, Operation Cygnus, in which 10s of 1000s of people died. The findings have never been published. Will you commit to making public?’ ‘No’
