@wizzair I booked a flight yesterday and have not received my confirmation email yet. It is not in my junik folder either. The money has left my bank account. Please advise.

[Andy CravenGriffiths @andy_c_g]

@Vanessa_Kisuule For the first few years, I concentrated too much on getting through the stuff I'd planned, rather than rolling with the punches / adapting to what the group responded to and needed. That's easier the longer I've done it and the more experience I have to draw on

[Andy CravenGriffiths @andy_c_g]

@Vanessa_Kisuule Trying to change language so that it isn't absolutes "good /bad" but highlights that there is opinion involved "I liked this / this made me feel / think of" etc. Also showing a variety of other poets with different styles when there's YouTube.

[Andy CravenGriffiths @andy_c_g]

@Vanessa_Kisuule Absolutely. Been teaching a Yr 9 group in Stockport today. I got the group to prompt me "I remember feeling (embarrassed, scared, excited) when.." then speaking back my reply to their prompt before me giving them similar prompts.

New play centres on twin brothers with different skin tones. Exploring what it means to be family, through a lens of white-passing privilege:

Male, 20, mixed race, black
Male, 20, mixed race, white-passing.

@LongfellaPoet Happy birthday mate, despite the other stuff. Hope you're as well as can be expected and keeping your chin up x

[Andy CravenGriffiths @andy_c_g]

with watermelon smiles not incitement to racial hatred?

#BlackLivesMatterUK #BorisHasFailedUK #BorisIsRacist #Gaslighting

[Andy CravenGriffiths @andy_c_g]

Boris says UK isn't racist. But nobody who is overtly & publicly racist qualifies to make such a statement. Same way a mugger doesn't qualify to lecture people on how safe alleyways are at night. And how is comparing Muslim women to letterboxes & calling Africans piccaninnies

[Andy CravenGriffiths @andy_c_g]

I didn't do #BlackoutTuesday. I spent the day delivering #Kindness and #wellness creative writing workshops to two mental health groups and an arts administrator collective. It is a six week project, the only work… https://t.co/pLa71L44WP

As always, Bangers and Mash is awesome, great music, brilliant and inciteful features and I also chat to Byron this episode. Sorry about my swearing. I'm more about communication than manners, apparently.

[Byron Vincent @IAmByronVincent]

EP 6 OF BANGERS & MASH IS HERE and I’m chuffed to bits to announce that we are now a @weareunltd #UnlimitedCommission and #ACEsupported #artscouncil.
I chat to @andy_c_g about authenticity altruism and mental health. Contains gratuitous swears. https://t.co/h6kNRw9UM4

[Andy CravenGriffiths @andy_c_g]

Please @RachelReevesMP ask @RishiSunak to extend the SEISS scheme, self-employed people need support too

Clapping is good. Voting is better.

[Dr Adrian Heald @DrAdrianHeald]

Thanks for the #clapforNHS but after a decade of voting for a party who always stripped the NHS and tried to sell us off, it seems to be a bit of an empty gesture. Please vote in the future for a party who supports the NHS, if you mean that clap seriously
