Late night thought: #paulgross should exec prod a spinoff to #DueSouth called #DueNorth telling real CA stories. Gloves off this time. Pick up where the pilot left it: in the #Yukon with grown up #EricSchweig as a local police chief or sommat. #Canada #indigenous

@TraceyEmin Iat the time,I felt isolated at 17, as I lived in a fundamentalist Christian community that shamed girls for their sexuality. Your work was just the most straight-up, honest thing I had seen come from a woman outside of certain trailblazers in music. Thank you.

@TraceyEmin spelling mistakes aside, you have survived and please don't stop telling your tale, as hard as it is.
I saw your work at the Saatchi as a teenager, before the fire.

@TraceyEmin Just read the Guatdian article in which you spoke of being written off as some kind of banshee. Banshee are fucking cool. They are signal. A light in the dark. And they carve the way for other women.

@ninaland Would you like to talk to a linguist about the role language plays in sex? I'd love your take on a topic that never gets talked about (ironically). Bisous xxx.

@GayAdoptionDad @vlmckeown Which means twice the amount of awesome, I imagine!

[Al Coates @al_coates]

@GayAdoptionDad @vlmckeown You spelled your other friend's Twitrer handle wrong, too, because I 'm not them, love.

@zippyhawkes I didn't take that photo, love. But the person with the Insta handle did. :)

@thedailybeast "possible civil-rights violations"

I wonder what language would be used if someone knelt on a white cop's neck until he died?

[Al Coates @al_coates]

@ninaland Would you be interested in talking to me about the changing landscape of sex and language, for a student podcast? Gros bisoux from Canada

@Al__Coates @instantmummy @FionafromYorks Hi there. Twitter seems to think we're the same person and I'm getting your notifications. Perhaps change your handle? The underscore difference isn't enough. Thanks!
