Today I carried my phone around work. And my money. In my dress POCKETS. No handbag needed ALL DAY. Men are so lucky #wewantpockets

Tears in my eyes as I listen to the last broadcast by @BBCArabic, closing down after 85 years. It meant so much to so many people here over the decades. Now the airwaves are dead. End of an era.

Kinky cable so floor manager Robert came to the rescue to guide me through a @BBCWorld show.
I lost hearing in my right👂 when I was 15 so I work exclusively with my left, read 👄a & rely on body language for visual cues. Or in this case, A4 for timings.

Today's #IWD2022 amusement - watching companies scramble to delete their fluffy IWD Tweets after @PayGapApp re-tweets them - but with their gender pay-gap stats attached. I deeply salute whoever thought of this. It's deadly genius.

The moment my @bbcukrainian colleague @Yollika sees pictures of her family home, partially destroyed overnight in #Kyiv.
We did not know until that moment it was her actual building that had been hit.
Thankfully Olga’s family is safe.

Fun little trick in the Sunday New York Times crossword yesterday: the central theme clue was "The better of two sci-fi franchises", and regardless of whether you put Star Wars or Star Trek, the crossing clues worked

I work for @BBCNewsbeat, the news show on Radio 1, 1Xtra and Asian Network. Legends like Evans, Moyles and Cox have come and gone. But Newsbeat remains and has done (on Radio 1) since 1973
In 2004 I was 13. My Mum announced it was time for me to wake myself up.

If you’re a journalism student, this is really worth 8 mins of your time. I think you’ll find @PippaCrerar & @PaulBrandITV‘s description of how they delivered their No.10 scoops informative and quietly compelling. I did.

"Over the years, we’ve given numerous interviews advising women how to exercise safely after dark. But we’re not doing that anymore – because it is not our behaviour that needs to change."
