[Charlie Ashwell @AshwellCharlie]

Most artists I know don't want to back themselves into a corner with identity politics. The opposite. But the forces of capture & marketisation are very strong. It's going to take massive collective effort to keep insisting on art as a space for questions, openness & plasticity.

[Centre 151 @Centre151]

Lots of creative energy expelled in the house in the past few weeks with @MsBeckyNam @SekeChim #BurrowsandFargion #EllenKane... Something's cooking...

[SARAH BLANC she/her @sarahblanc]

I dare anyone who watched #bbcstrictly tonight to EVER AGAIN challenge me as to whether the creative arts matter…. The skill, the stamina, the humanity, the truth of it. Telling our stories as though our lives depended on it…Because they do. Thank you for lifting our hearts ♥️

[Dr Philip Lee @drphiliplee1]

Can I just say, if you're unvaccinated, and change your mind but worried about people judging you at the vaccination center, this will absolutely not be the case.

We will welcome you with open arms.

[Gráinne Maguire @GrainneMaguire]

All these illegal Tory parties and poor Dianne couldn’t even have a fucking gin in a tin on the train?!?!

[Emma Jayne Park @somekindofchaos]

Freelance Panic:

Just had my entire income for January cancelled (again). The people calling to cancel also in a state of crisis and with no mechanism to protect freelance staff in anyway other than rescheduling.

Survival is ugly.
Sending love to everyone shitting it again.

Let’s be clear on the “borders bill”. It can strip ANYONE with the POTENTIAL of two passports of British citizenship with no right of appeal and no notice. It also criminalises anyone trying to RESCUE refugees from dying in the channel. Priti Patel cheered its passing. Pure evil.

[Charlie Ashwell @AshwellCharlie]

Don't let R*sie K*y stop you reading Orlando. Incredibly trans novel, before there was really a language for trans experience. Did K*y even read it? Woolf is turning in her grave! This is all so stupid!

[SARAH BLANC she/her @sarahblanc]

Why is everyone worried about no one wanting to hire the RK dancers again? I respect these dancers more and would in fact prefer to hire them. I have huge respect for them. It takes a lot to stand up to bullying when you are a freelancer in a big org.

[Vidya Patel @VidyaPatel96]

Sharing a brave and articulated account from the dancers who have come together to collectively address false claims made in @rosiekaydanceco @thetimes slandering article. This is an important read! Deep respect to the dancers for speaking up! https://t.co/wr6YoEizR3

[Dawn Butler ✊🏾💙 @DawnButlerBrent]

Police officers attended court to support Wayne Couzens. Think about that for just a minute.

[Don't be That Guy @ThatGuyScotland]

Most guys don’t look in the mirror & see a problem. But it’s staring us in the face. Sexual violence begins long before you think it does. #DontBeThatGuy

[Plague Islander 🏴‍☠️🍉 @plaguedodger]

Teachers can't accept gifts which have a value of over £50 because it could be seen as a bribe, yet the PM can accept a gift of a £25,000 holiday and that's apparently legit 🤡

[Evie Muir @xeviemuir]

I spend approx £2k a year on therapy thanks to trauma inflicted by men please spare me your “it’s okay not to be okay” / “exercise and eat healthy” bullshit

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

Former colonial powers need to understand that "finders keepers" has never been a plausible argument.

Theft is theft.

Reparations can begin with returning the loot of empire.
