That thing you always wanted to do. That novel, that poem, that piece of art. Start it now. Don't wait. Make time. Give yourself permission to start. It will never be easier than it is now: maybe harder, but never easier.

For example, the Supreme Court is saying that a trans woman gets protection as a woman if she 'passes'. Whether that's right or wrong ethically it's totally at odds with the Supreme Court's blithe assertion that its decision 'is neither disadvantageous to nor removes protections from trans people'.

Wasn’t expecting to almost hit my JustGiving goal on day one so that’s pretty damn awesome. 💖

As a survivor of several attempts and having lost good friends to suicide, I’ve decided to take on the challenge of walking 5K everyday in May to raise funds for CALM, a charity that gives vital suicide prevention support.

I’d love to raise £125. www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

I am unintentionally in fashion at the moment as my hair is entering mullet mode because I keep forgetting to book a haircut 😂

One of the coolest things you can do right now is commission a real artist.

Honestly, Alfie 😂

Pencil sketches of Jude Bellingham, Saoirse Ronan, Jodie Whittaker and Caitlin Hayes.

I’ve just created a membership tier on my ko-fi page for £1 a month. Every fortnight I’ll share a sketched portrait like these. Members can send in requests for my next sketches. It’s an easy and low cost way to regularly support my art. ❤️ ko-fi.com/alfiewhitby/...

Add your name to our petition, tell Angela Rayner the #RentersRightsBill must change renting for good: shltr.org.uk/gfb5w

Made the mistake of reading the comments on a recent clickbait video about Jodie Whittaker saying something seemingly “woke” about Doctor Who. Truly, the vitriol that still continues against the actor is vile. For a show that has brought so many joy, why do we pull others down? What’s the point?

Utterly devastating situation in the UK TV production industry

It really is! I’ve spent the last two weeks on the Somerset coast visiting my folks and it’s been gorgeous. ☀️

Truly. Outstanding performance yesterday. 💚

I just saw what it’s about. That’s hilarious.

Is there ever a moment when there isn’t some discourse about cafes in Southside? 😂

Yeah, I’m hoping for “partners in gay” as well as “partners in crime” lol

Maybe they’ve changed things in the last few years. It was a big criticism for a long time.
