If you're an author/editor who's used the services of sensitivity readers and you've found those services useful and illuminating, now's the time to shout about what sensitivity readers actually do!

Especially -journalists- who've used sensitivity services!

Strong likelihood that I'll be leaving for good (aka deleting my tweets, leaving my profile up to avoid impersonation, etc).

I'm @/mikaeladisnerd on Instagram, which is my most consistent social at the moment.

Any last requests?

There are definitely some changes I'd make - we now have Beverly Plume (Caroline Bingley?), I foolishly forgot about Yolanda (Lydia!), and I think Penny Walkman would be perfect as either Mrs. Bennett or Lady Catherine, or double-cast as both.

.@ToughPigs' Anthony Strand is one of my favourite Tough Pigs. We share a lot of opinions, & an ambition of mine is to be friends with him & Roz.

Also not a fan of 'literary adaptation: all but 1 are Muppets" BUT I do think I actually kind of cracked Pride and Prejudice in 2019.

Had a truly amazing time chatting with @elrhode for @TheRSC's Midsummer Night's Dream Creative Talk earlier. Thanks to everyone involved for letting me back on the RST stage, and everyone else - hire me for your In Conversations and Q&As!

A world first! At just 12, Eleanor edited & live delivered the Audio Description for #TheWitches @NationalTheatre to almost 80 VI children, whilst reading over 400 lines in braille! Kudos to @Elsiebiades, who cued & along with the NT spearheaded the initiative. #eleanorsvoice 🎭

Gentle subtweet for a book I'm reading and otherwise very much enjoying: theatre directors who are good at their jobs collaborate with their company, and don't make actors cry (except with laughter).

A piece of riotous and euphoric queer theatre that puts the wild in wild west...

In this GIF, Grover is saying "Oh I just -love- Christmas!"

[Mikaela @guysmiley22]

November 1st means it's almost "four -woolly bears-!" time again!

[Mikaela @guysmiley22]

Also, can I tell you the good word about the Sesame Street '12 Days of Christmas' in which Grover gets increasingly adamant about wanting "4 woolly bears!"?
