Great news from @ElbowRoomTC; we're delighted to see @ChloeClarkeAD providing such invaluable resource and service, with @ADSWales. Please help spread the good word!

[Elbow Room Theatre @ElbowRoomTC]

Fascinating discussion leading from this - absolutely right, I invariably go through the arduous process of proofreading and deleting all these self-undermining words and phrases. Examples like this are a terrifying testament to how insidiously subjugated women are.

2/2 Sami and I find social media a struggle both in terms of access & mental health, but we are so keen to support everyone - so our apologies for letting things slip. Perversely, now we may all rely on SM to stay connected so pls keep in touch and let’s help each other through x

[Elbow Room Theatre @ElbowRoomTC]
