Honestly, I thought it was parenthood, triggers, exhaustion, undiagnosed adhd and while it is some of those things, it is perimenopause. I've had a good experience with my GP so hrt patches & counselling are helping. Grateful for supportive friends, family & partner.

A Man’s Guide To The Menopause.

A man asked me what the Menopause was like: let’s imagine your nuts dropped off aged 40. Your GP only suggests losing weight as a cure for your consequent physical and mental disintegration.

[Maeve O'Neill @1Maeve]

@LindaBxx This is gutting, so hard reading that feedback and disappointing that this is the state of the arts. Big love to you and your never-ending persistence and hardwork. You really do support so many people. Here for a chat/whinge/cry/vent xx

[Maeve O'Neill @1Maeve]

@yolandamercy Smashing it, well done and congrats! 🙌🙌

[lyngardner @lyngardner]

Fabulous to see @yolandamercy back on stage @Summerhallery with Failure Project, a sharply told story about how life and the theatre industry cuts tall poppies down.

[Stephen May @Stephen_May1]

Writers! Your biogs are all too long. All of them. Whether for a book jacket, for a festival brochure or for anything else, they are too damn long. By miles. And you need a new photo too.

[Maeve O'Neill @1Maeve]

Totally agree https://t.co/YyomjaLRF3

@dominic_wade1 😂😂😂 classic! I'm defo not a pundit 😂😂 yeah it should be good un and I'll be supporting the lads 🙃 *note to self: don't tweet about football

[Maeve O'Neill @1Maeve]

Crazy idea but maybe just enjoy the fact the England team made it to the finals, be proud of them and celebrate them no matter the outcome. Ease up on the pressure & criticism and maybe just enjoy world cup soccer?

[Maeve O'Neill @1Maeve]

@LindaBxx Totally agree. Serious fundamental issues that are totally unsustainable.

[Linda Bloomfield @LindaBxx]

I'm thankful our overall success rate is OK, but that's only because I'm relentless with it & work far more hours than I should. It's unsustainable long-term.

Lack of funding = loss of brilliant freelancers & SME orgs who can't make it work

What do we do next as a sector?

[Linda Bloomfield @LindaBxx]

Arts funding is broken.

Just received a rejection email from a funder. Their applications have increased BY 3000% 🫠

ACE success rates are dire right now, & more general funders are rejecting arts due to huge increases in applications from vital services like food/housing.

@BritishGasHelp @Jonnyfallsover It's a small amount but how many houses with solar panels are @BritishGas taking this long to update their accounts. 🤔 3 months of some local electricity back to the grid, no doubt it adds up so why wouldn't you take your time and make it as hard as possible 🤔 @MartinSLewis

[Maeve O'Neill @1Maeve]

@BritishGasHelp we contacted you 3 months ago about changing tariff to account for solar panels. 3 months of emails, live chat, etc etc and still no update from from your SEG team. It shouldn't be this hard. @Jonnyfallsover

[Papatango @PapatangoTC]

It’s get-in @arcolatheatre for 2023 #PapatangoPrize winner SOME DEMON by Laura Waldren. As we open this world premiere by a debut writer, we thought it might be useful to be transparent about what this show takes. The £££, the timeline, the risks, all of it.

So, here goes...

[Streets Kitchen @streetskitchen]

All they've done is taken the offensive terminology out.

It's still criminalising those experiencing homelessness.

Homelessness is not and never should be a crime, the fact it exists should be...

Sad that Adam ⏬️ a military veteran of 27 years was "turned away at the door" when he produced his Veterans ID card in order to Vote.

Voter ID is a Conservative scam.
Since 2019 (Inc GE) more Tory MPs kicked out of parliament due to "misdemeanours" than Voter ID fraud cases😡

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

Well, this has backfired spectacularly.
