Inspired by @catehall I've made a page where anyone can leave me anonymous feedback about anything. Use it anytime, it genuinely is anonymous as long as you don't dox yourself in the message! admonymous.co/holly-brockwel…

Spent forever scrolling my Instagram to find when we went to see Patrick Stewart as King Lear but he hurt his leg so he just sat on stage and told us amazing stories all night. It was Ian McKellen.

I REALLY like @MartinSLewis's Small Ideas Initiative, and just submitted my first one! (There will be more). Site is here: small-ideas.org/
A screenshot of my submission to the Small Ideas Initiative, asking for an easily-understood, easily-found directory of laws so citizens can actually refer to and comprehend the laws we're supposed to live by

Third submission! (I will do something else now)
Screenshot of my submission to the Small Ideas Institute, suggesting PaRentals, a frankly ingeniously-named scheme for renting safe, sanitised parenting equipment rather than everyone having to buy

I genuinely thought Belinda Carlisle died recently, so I thought this tour name and photo were in ridiculously poor taste. It turns out it's Bonnie Tyler who died. But also... that is not a good photo of a woman who's alive

Replying to @KaiserMachead @holly
She's British. I believe their opinions are now bigger than their empire.

What if America agreed to let presidents have more than two terms, but only if they can recall previous ones? Bill passes, bring back Obama, undo bill, done ✅

Forever grateful to Beverly Hills 90210 for making me learn a real ZIP code for overly American forms
Screenshot of Amazon thinking I live in Beverly Hills because otherwise it won't show me stuff that's only available in the US. It's overly helpful to the point of being unhelpful

Feeling really culturally relevant because I knew a song from the band on SNL UK even though I'd never heard of the band 😆 Normally I just sit there through the musical bits like "well this is... a sound"

I've been enjoying @beccacaddy's The Future Hunter newsletter, & this week's is particularly excellent. "You might refuse the blue pill. Me too. But would either of us notice if it was slipped into our lives one tiny convenience at a time?" thefuturehunter.substack.com…

Early prototype of a Smol Paul coaster that @GulliverTruffle is working on. It gives me the exact same "oh god what does he want" feeling as the boy himself 😆

It really tickles me that whether they realise it or not, the hard men running illicit weed grows are professional gardeners. Sorry to break it to you, Roadman Kev, but you're into horticulture

He's in his Bowie era
A ridiculous tuxedo cat glares at me with one eye from behind a diagonal table which helpfully makes for a very pop art surround for a glam rock boy

(The notch in his bib is because he had a blood test recently, he is fine, it was "diagnosis Paul" again)

How are Royal Blood only two people?! This has blown my mind. Saw them playing on SNL UK and the stage is so empty! Very impressive and all but have we considered backing dancers 😆
