This week’s FT Weekend magazine cover story is by me! About five days I spent last summer at a brain-hacking retreat in Washington ft.com/content/0bb8f5…
incredible to have to use this website to try to get my own money AGAIN but here we are. a fortnight ago, we had a flat fall through 2 days before we were due to get keys. @WeCanProperties still haven’t given us our deposit/first month’s rent back. no justification for it. wild.
Very very very excited that I will be in Greenland for work soon. Have you by any chance been to Greenland? Anything amazing you did in Nuuk or Ilulissat that I should also do?
Book blurbing! I am going to be writing something about this. If you are an author or a publishing professional with something you would like to get off your chest, positive or negative, in strictest secrecy, about the practice of book blurbing: please DM me. You can be anonymous
did a @RollingStoneUK job in June and still haven't been paid for it. never "called out" a company publicly in my life before (mortifying to have to ask for my own money frankly), and I'm prob yelling into the void, BUT it's Christmas so perhaps there is a miracle to be had lol
They wrote ‘Why I’m Leaving London’ essays. But did exiting the capital solve their problems? @ImogenWK caught up with authors of viral leaving London essays and videos, years after the fact. the-londoner.co.uk/leaving-london…
What is Duolingo actually teaching you? Lovely read from @ImogenWK on the world of the green owl and why it may not matter that it can't make you fluent @thedialmag thedial.world/articles/news/…
"There is an appeal in the idea that, while we have fallen out of step with nature, there is a version of humanity that hasn’t." Really terrific by @ImogenWK on the Sasquatch believers. ft.com/content/5a8080…
preview of this weekend's FT Weekend magazine, with a cover story by me that I hope people will find a laugh, because not much is a laugh just at the minute is it

Maybe one of the chicest things to ever happen to us - the brilliant artist Anna Sudbina painted @ImogenWK and I using a particularly cunty photo we had posted on Instagram two years ago.
I have been advised by my legal team to retract my 22nd August 2024 tweet calling Fergus Henderson a war criminal. Mr Henderson has never been convicted of any war crimes,
