“When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. ‘This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar’ she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. ‘My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.’ It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women’s contributions?” ― Sandi Toksvig

HOST FROM BAKE OFF????

She is an amazing woman. Clever, quick, immensely knowledgeable. Bake off is just a little thing she does for fun. She took over from Stephen Fry on QI and she’s every bit as good, and that says A LOT. I’m a huge fan of Stephen and i didn’t know her before but now i admire the heck out of Sandy, she’s brilliant.

I love Sandy Toksvig!! 😍👏🏻

I was so sad when Stephen Fry left QI thinking no one could ever replace him.

But lo and behold, she is just as knowledgable, just as hilarious and as fate would have it, just as gay as him 😄

I also noticed that ever since then there have been a lot more female panel guests as well, making it much more balanced than before.

Gotta love QI, hilarious AND interesting!! 👌🏻
