speaking to @OtherSideLitMag & @FrancescoGoglia for this piece was a joy - inspiration for how language can help dissolve borders and the power of words 💙 thank you
“Let’s drop this idea that French has to be the variety spoken in Paris and the Eiffel Tower. French is also the language of Senegal.” @FrancescoGoglia in 'Mothertongue' by @hazelbeeves; exploring linguistic borderlines & migration feat. @OtherSideLitMag https://t.co/8TBSq4hYox
Shell just announced soaring profits: £7,300,000,000 in the last 3 months.
But the Tories let them pay *zero* tax on North Sea oil and gas production last year. In fact, the Treasury paid *them* £92,000,000.
Let's use a windfall tax on these companies to slash energy bills.
can’t wait to show off the latest issue of The Lit, which is ramjamrodigan-packed full of great new writing, ideas and illustration. Loved working with the @ExeterEnglish MA publishing team & @kiernanna to bring this to life. Join us in May @exeter_phoenix https://t.co/v58PXNNdCV

Alex is creating a home for new & unheard voices & it’s a joy to see, as he was to talk to. Not least for reminder of this Junot Diaz quote: “Motherfuckers will read a book that’s one third Elvish, but put two sentences in Spanish and they [white people] think we’re taking over.”
“I wanted the magazine to be a statement”. Absolute honour to speak to Alexandros Plasatis, author and publisher of @OtherSideofHope this afternoon, about migrations of language, the language of migration and Junot Diaz. More coming soon in The Lit Issue 4...
Issue 8 of Strike, our digital magazine, will be bursting to life this spring – and we’re unfurling an invite to more #creatives to get involved. (A thread) 🧵⬇️
