you ever wish that fireworks were incredibly quiet and also didnt disappear so quickly and also you could keep them in your home and also you could hold them in your hands?? because if so, i’d love to introduce you to,, Flowers
For those who don't know, I'm officially known as "poetry lady" at work (as well as the "smart one on UC") because I run little readings for residents, so to get this set in our final match was such a dream 🥰

Thank you so much to everyone who tuned in! I am travelling so can't reply to everyone just yet but I just want to do an appreciation post for my team incl. Michael K on Zoom and my mother who came with me for emotional support to Salford 🥰💞
Time travelling from a first round to the

@Lin_Manuel
I did a rousing speech bout how I love baking, keep up with biscuit news, have excellent taste n will strive to provide classics + variety 🍪
Broke: Michael Mays is some kind of bigot
Woke: He's just in love with Gilbert
Bespoke: This is just how a team of specialists works and we have earpieces (and they're in love)

The faces of two art players who saw and loved Yinka Shonibare's library of immigrants at the Tate Modern but alas didn't look up his face 😔
#UniversityChallenge
The next time someone asks me if we hate each other I'm just sweeping the leg and walking away. Yeah, obviously unadulterated loathing for the guys I won with! They're the worst!
Final words on
#UniversityChallenge
so I can move on with my day but Michael Mays is delightful, I wouldn't choose anyone else as my captain and you can see us chat about strategies on where he turns and our specialisms here:
You will not fuck with my children’s future. You will not destroy the freedoms my grandfather fought two world wars to defend. Fuck off you over-promoted rubber bath toy. Britain is revolted by you and you little gang of masturbatory prefects.
The rumours are true! I do know some science! I remember thinking just before this starter "each of the boys has gotten one, it's my turn" and then felt like a superhero
#UniversityChallenge
Graduation sequel just dropped! Critics say "she looks lovely", "that girl is friend-shaped" and "FATIMA FAN CAM 🦀‼️" but it is too early to say if it has the makings of a trilogy 🎓
Alan Rickman did not say "I'm going to cut your heart out with a spoon!" and "Because it's dull you twit, it'll hurt more!" with his whole chest for the G*ardian to call this movie joyless
Love to be called a role model for my intelligence over my looks ❤️ yes I am a very smart Hijabi but I was also actively trying to be best dressed on University Challenge x
All the nasty comments about Ethan on University Challenge remind me that the audience of one of Britain's smartest shows are remarkable stupid and this has been the one of the only reasonable tweets
@charlottes1993
Have you considered that he may be autistic, and that his hair pulling is stimming, necessary for him to cope with a high stress situation?
Just remembered an iconic moment in buzzer practice where Conor started reading out a list of places, I could see Max start doing his trademark mental mapping and then I outbuzzed him because it was just the beginning of Kokomo by The Beach Boys
How to look out for your Muslim friend this Ramadhan:
⭐ put up with the excitability
⭐ let them nap
⭐ yes "not even water"
⭐ send memes, especially cats being Muslim content
⭐ support Imperial on University Challenge for the last time. BBC2, Monday 4th April at 8.30pm x
The official Twitter keeps stealing my thunder but hi! I'm on University Challenge with my team tomorrow! Monday 13th, 8.30pm on BBC2. We trained entirely on Zoom for months beforehand so here are some of our best quizzical faces, I have two modes 🤔💙
Celebrate your Valentine's Day with the love story of Imperial on

✨ Critics Advent Calendar ✨
We need more positivity to end the decade, so each day I'm going to tweet a writer and highlight a great piece they've written this year 🎄💗
"Danvers’ arrogance isn’t the machismo arrogance that makes the world a little worse; it’s the opposite. She possesses a kind of radiant arrogance that makes the world a little brighter."
@PuceCurses
@pemberIeys
Oh it is absolutely not an indictment on her more than the fact that there is realism and non-traditional happiness within these stories, not everyone is the protagonist
@SofiaBNewman
My love I am so very proud of you for standing up for her 💕 I'm sure I couldn't do the same and I appreciate you using your privilege to do so
Watch Fatima, Gilbert, Max and Michael in the

in what promises to be an epic match 🎉
Hey
@UniofReading
, good luck. You're going to need it 😘
Character development is me not having any photos of myself pre-2015 because I didn't like my face, to getting a cute Twitter icon, to being on TV and loving my stupid expressions ♥️
Love to log on after getting a terrific score only to see that my favourite people are being insulted for *checks notes* conferring on bonuses they know more about
#UniversityChallenge
We all have unique specialisms that we learn throughout the process. Sometimes different topics come up and others don’t. The pressure of being on National TV also greatly affects our performance. Can we live our dreams in peace without being hated for it?
The World Health Organization (
@WHO
), in its regional Coronavirus update, doesn’t recognise Israel as a country - the only Jewish state in the world.
It calls my homeland “Occupied Palestinian Territory”, but it will never say that

is a Chinese virus. Shameful.

! My time to shine! It's me! Your local Muslim critic 💖 I need to write more about it (commission me!) but in the mean time here's the piece I'm still so proud of
The dark side of the wardrobe will be expanding because my contract has been made permanent! Come see me give public tours at the Hayward Gallery with a renewed sense of job security xoxo
