I woke up feeling weirdly emotional about the football. For those of you not following England are in the final of #EURO2020 . Which is massive. And as a Black Londoner it feels... complicated. I want to try and explain why.

But another part of me watched Raheem Sterling against Denmark and my heart soared. He works so hard and plays so well and he ignores all the shit from the media and the abuse from the trolls. And that part of me thinks: This is England. And I am part of it and I belong to it.

I've spent the last few months working with @Odangaring on how Twitter is failing Kenyans ahead of an important election. We talk to the team @Twitter a lot behind the scenes. They have engaged with the work @mozilla does in detail and made real changes to their approach.

Okay so, this has happened!! In less than 72 hours since launching, we've got a meeting with IPSO and they're going to be considering the implementation of our guidelines on domestic violence deaths. 🎉

Lucky to meet @WXelka irl today. While we were having lunch two young people came up to us to say how inspired they are by his work! Really cool to meet such a dedicated activist. Désolé, je ne parle pas très bien français 😬.

Anyone else on "the left" tired of people who would rather be right than win? Some of us have skin in the game, it's not a hobby.

Also, this was led by @janeyjstarling but a lot of people who helped pull it off (and paid for the plane) were feminist men. I won't @ them in case they don't want to be named. But it's part of why @we_level_up is such a special community ❤️.

Ok so true story. This year I broke up with my therapist because she cried during a session. Reader: she was a white lady named Karen. Could I *be* more 2021?

Bad news: there's 6 Tory leadership contenders and the contest runs until November 😔. Good news: @garyyounge and I have an idea to spice up proceedings. We just need @LoveIsland to lend us their villa.... Hear the whole plan on @over_under_pod_ .
