Loved One of Us by Elizabeth Day — sharp, fast-paced, and full of scandal. Switching perspectives added depth, and the take on class, power, and politics felt spot on. Darkly funny, smart, and compulsive. A brilliant read. Thanks @NetGalley#OneofUs#netgalley@elizabday
“My Dad went to prison when I was 6”
“If there was ever a moment in my life that I knew how the world saw us it was that, because I remember going to see him I will never, never forget just the way you were looked at, the way the guards looked at you .. It was horrible each door you had to go through was locked behind you as you went through as the families went through it felt like you were cattle it felt like you were judged”
When a parent goes to prison, it isn’t just their life that changes—it’s the child’s world that’s turned upside down.
During @elizabday@howtofail, @JohnBishop100 words capture a truth so many children experience: the shame, the judgment, and the feeling of being treated as if they did something wrong.
For too many, this stigma follows them for life.
We thank John for sharing his experience and highlighting the impact of parental imprisonment—not just in the moment, but in the years that follow.
One of my pet hates is men whistling badly in public like the rest of us owe them an audience. The entitlement! When did you last witness a woman doing this? WHEN?!
How To Write A Book, the first podcast from Daylight Productions, has been nominated for Best Podcast at the Broadcasting Press Guild Awards and I am SPEECHLESS with joy. Thank you to hosts @mrsjaneymac@SharLovegrove@Nelle_Andrew and to the Guild for recognising us in this way.
Without doubt one of the best non-fiction books I've read in a long time, @elizabday's deep dive into the complexities of friendship has had me reflecting deeply on what I bring to mine. I felt thoroughly seen and that's the ultimate compliment. Superb writing #BookTwitter

I can think of no recent movie that couldn’t be improved by Linda from #TheTraitors in a starring role. Babygirl? IT NEEDS LINDA TAMING THE DOG. Conclave? LINDA AS FUTURE POPE. We Live In Time? LINDA AS FLORENCE PUGH.
