I went down a Wikipedia rabbit hole of famous last words, here’s some of my favourites (all caveats regarding authenticity apply, of course) 🧵

I found a list of ironic last words on Wikipedia and LMAOOOOOO

Here’s some of my DA ladies!! I love them all so much :)

Isabela my beloved ☀️ for the DA2 & international women's day combo

Interview done! Not sure it was my best, but it’s over. Now we wait 🤷‍♀️

Time to go pretend I’m more confident than I am. Fake it till you make it, as they say

45 mins until my interview!!! I’m swinging between relaxed and jittery right now 🥲

Accusing the Greens of wanting to prostitute children and wanting to turn parks into crack dens is absolutely shameful, and I hate that our politicians are this goddamn immature. You are fucking adults, act like it!!!!

Labour acted VERY dirty during this by-election, I’m so happy the Greens won and stuck it to them and Reform.

If ever there was a day where I do NOT want train disruption, this is it

Labour must search its conscience if Reform wins Gorton and Denton, says Green leader Zack Polanski says Labour deliberately splitting left vote as voters head to the polls

It's Reform Vs the Green Party.

Vote for the Green Party.
