A gentle reminder of the word ‘matutolypea’: grumpiness or downheartedness first thing in the morning.

Based on Latin and Greek, literally ‘morning grief’, or ‘sorrow of the dawn’.

Please join me today 2pm at @StreetLevel_ for the opening of my show ‘An Ordinary Eden’.

This work considers homelessness. It considers the need to belong. It considers how we treat our fellow humans. #AnOrdinaryEden

The work of care is so little recognised. Perhaps because for so long it has fallen unpaid to women. I know it's not invariably so, nevertheless the female default has ensured its invisibility.

It’s our favourite time of year with the beautiful purple blossom trees outside Central Library. We are often asked what these trees are. They are Paulownia Tomentosa, the Princess Tree. #blossomwatch

Public higher educacioun ys a common goode and sholde be free to all. Everyone sholde be able to pursue their intellectual vocations and career dreames, to fynde the educacioun thei seek wythout the burden of debt. Educacioun ys a foundation for freedom. Fund higher ed again.

“what even is the point of literature?” inventing fictional stories that illuminate the nuances of human psychology is an incredible skill… and then to weave those insights into a gripping narrative? great writing is like an act of magic.

Happy #worldtheatre day

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported and worked with us over the years.

It certainly hasn't been easy as an independent venue but we're always grateful for the support and wouldn't be here without it. ❤️

Educacioun that doth focus on 'workforce' alone wythout any regard for the thrivinge and curiousitye of the individual and the exploration of larger questiouns about societye, knowledge, historye, and art -- that ys not educacioun, that ys training.
