Artistic Director, Outburst Arts. Opinions are mine but they tidy their own bedrooms. Mostly a twitter voyeur, tis too shouty. Add me on Insta instead

@PatsyMHughes 👏 but also. in fairness, just making art in Belfast right now with the apallingy budget from the government deserves a standing ovation

Abortion is an LGBTQ issue: it is about bodily autonomy and agency over sexuality. In other words, if you're queer and support reproductive rights, you are not an ALLY; you are IMPLICATED: it's about YOU. (And even if you don't, it's STILL about you - )

Arrived in @heathrow_airport, this is my hold bag, smashed beyond recognition, like it was run over by a truck. Papers destroyed, favourite shirt ripped up at the back. They weren’t even going to replace it until i refused to leave til they did. Barely an apology. #aerlingus🍀

Here, Outburst's book group on May 25th is Radclyffe Hall's sapphic classic The Well of Loneliness. Banned in the 1920s, defended by Virginia Woolf, explored recently as trans masc text alongside iconic lesbian text. Just a mad-gorge-queer-drama read. Link https://t.co/wgF2VVgzdP
