Anna Help Anna Cupani raise money to support WWF-UK

Because work is beyond stressful, I've registered for a run at the end of March!
It's at Kew Gardens 🌳 🍀 at some ridiculous hours but I'm running for the WWF, because we absolutely need to protect this beauty of a planet we have.

Please support us here:

"Don't generate, summarise!"
Yes, I am very grateful to my education for teaching me how to think critically before and beyond testing me on how to use a tool.
Talking of summaries, I also see more and more verbose documents packed with platitudes and buzzwords that it takes Ages to make sense of.

I read the summary of a meeting where I was presenting and the recap attributed it all to the only other male colleague in the room. Summaries of my own emails are wrong and misleading, I honestly feel for less experienced people who keep being told they need to use these tools.

I swear at first I thought he meant he had put it up himself because frankly who's to say at this point, his views on women's reproductive rights (among other things) are very resonant with a certain propaganda.

First one is me every time I set foot on a vessel of any sort.

I remember exactly where I was when I read the news.
10y already!

Oh, hope the town is treating you well (I grew up an hour from there).

This stuff is total nightmare to me.
Thinking we live in a society were we have the means to avoid all this but somehow are not able to, is so scary.

But hey, you can eat olives every day, try tell them That! 😉
(I don't know why olives are still such a posh item in the imaginary of Britain...)

Apparently the sister of Famous US Skier posted videos and photos of the Italian doctors who treated her on social media commenting on their hotness. "forget dating apps, get to an Italian ER".
Unsurprisingly to anyone with a modicum of common sense, the people involved are not pleased at all.

During a street party a neighbour was clearly trying to assess whether I was a cool European Neighbour with a house on French riviera or just an immigrant worker.
When it turned out I was still renting, and with a friend I was not married to, she lost instantly any interest in me.

I remember the surprise once learning a flatmate had never eaten aubergines "you're almost 30 and still have to discover one of the greatest pleasures of life! I'll cook some for you".
He must have thought I was weird but as a foreigner and having him lived abroad too, I guess in an ok way.

Yes. And tourists don't come to see them, but to see their castles, like they do with Versailles and Vienna. I'm not sure the royals are a tourist attraction, honestly.

Several of them have expressed these same conflicted feelings to the press, I have seen.

As someone who got injured (like most athletes) for pushing myself 'farther and faster' I would advise we reassess this...

Wow! Just wow... I feel ancient and grateful to be.

All the children are our children.

This makes for a very hard reading. 💔

A friend of mine had a child at the end of September and he tells me he's asked literally Anything and Everything to ChatGPT. I'll definitely add this to my list!

I feel genuinely sick every single time, though.

I went to the Southbank Centre with friends and listened to some amazing music live.

And I want more of this, in my and everyone's life. We all should have more of this and build lives where more of this can be had by more people.

Good night.

Feeling this in my bones.
And often we belong to both (sometimes at the same time).

Anyone who thinks what's happening is the worst political scandal this century, in this country should take a stroll down to the Covid Memorial Wall.

I went out for drinks w/ people I love. Some of them negotiated the night out with family, some are separating, some are expecting babies, some are changing jobs, some just landed from work abroad, some bought a house, some got a tattoo. Connection is what will save us through dark times.

Yes, it's exactly the 'though to' that made me wonder.
I knew about the impact on pregnancy, I remember in school they hammered on. For decades now we have lived almost never getting exposed to these viruses and I wondered if this means anything for the immune system.
