Caitlin Moran

Awwwww that is a detail to be heart-poppingly proud of ...

FOUND IT! It's even better than I remembered. The careful mentioning of everyone's jobs - as if she's introducing them at a party whilst her chimney falls off. So British.

VOMITED. I realise I can basically "sing along" with key words and phrases, even after all these years.

My search query: "viral column by female london journalist about house destryed by london tornado floating walnut shelves Claridges"

I just went to look for it - really had to pump in the details to track it down

I'd forgotten how assiduously everyone's jobs are mentioned. Like she's introducing everyone at a party, whilst her house is exploding.

Wow, it took some finding. It's clearly now journalism archelogy. Enjoy! mytornadohell.livejournal.com

Did you find it???

HAHAHA I love that the people who loved it can all quote their favourite lines. An epic piece of journalism.

MMMMMMM strong folder.

Do you remember the chronicling of the London Whirlwind, that took out the Floating Walnut Shelving?

Gaby let's be real - we both loved this piece and could easily have read another 10,000 words, and are praying there are daily updates

Caitlin Moran: Stop calling all men toxic. They’re mostly good The men around me are a universe away from Dominique Pelicot, Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate — funny, nerdy and very surprised by how much they enjoy the gym

Most men aren't Epstein, Monsiuer Pelicot, or Andrew Tate. They are, well, good. So - what do we call them? "The Good Men" doesn't work - because no-one thinks they're the baddie. I would like to propose that we bring back - "Gentlemen." www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

bitch gotta pay rent.

although TO BE FAIR we've all done similar freelance work at some point

Goodbye, over-dramatic watch website.

Would absolutely devour a series of mystery books featuring a lightly fictionalized Gordon Brown analogue about a former UK Prime Minister who goes about solving crimes based on archival research and their international network of connections.

This post is really a tenuous excuse to say The Horrors' stint as BBC 6 Music Artist In Residence is a total joy. They ought to be given their own show, not just because of their selections, but also the ease with which they intro the songs, welcoming you in where others might have just showboated.

Happy Seventh Birthday to Nigel Slater not being a fucking travel agent.

Coming from a great big lovely thing, that's all the praise I need. Please feel free to spread the news. I want to be DELUGED with entries. As it were.

Oh dude, THANK YOU! I'm OBSESSED with the notion there's a whole COHORT of fab writers out there, that I'm DESPERATE to read.

THANK YOU for noticing. It's my favourite, and most over-used, word. which I find undolourous.

"Keep your side of the road clean." In a world of dolourous news, all you can do is find one small thing - then try to fix it. And so me and the British Society of Magazine Editors are launching this - to find the next generation of writers AND PAY THEM. Screw you, AI. We still believe in writing.

Why Caitlin Moran needs your young writers Tes is backing a new prize to help disadvantaged young people get into journalism – here, writer Caitlin Moran explains all the details

@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social is launching a new Young Writers’ Prize to help disadvantaged young people get into journalism – and she wants you to put forward your students

I will miss the Winter Olympics SO MUCH. Particularly Ed and Tim on the Big Air commentary. "The Chinese equipment team made sure those skis were staying put, didn't they? Six inch PoziDrive screw right through the boot." THREE WEEKS of chat like this. They are my kings.

Give Jim Ratcliffe a break. He’s just a billionaire While everyone was angry about the INEOS owner sounding racist, I worry about him having too much on his plate. These superwealthy white men are spread wafer thin

Yes, Jim Ratcliffe might come across as a man easily confused by numbers, and inclined to say things that sound racist. But that's the problem with powerful, busy billionaires. They're just a bit overwhelmed: www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Join me on June 1 at The Union Chapel to discuss the genius of George Michael. I'll be live on stage for @intelligencesquared to launch my new book, Tonight the Music Seems So Loud, exploring the life, music and contradictions of a man beloved by many.

Tickets: sathnam.com/events

See you there 🙏🏾

Delicious fondant Pacino.

It's a lovely birthday cake. With Al Pacino, high on cocaine, wielding a machine gun. but in fondant.

Just so everyone knows - they're now doing Scarface "Say hello to my little friend" birthday cakes on Green Lanes.

I hate football but I applaud crap puns
