Chuffed to finally reveal I've made a zine! 📖 I wrote a poem series that has been illustrated by the stupendously talented Eva and I can't express how creatively and beautifully they have interpreted my words🖌

Also a fairly important post-recording update: I was essentially made homeless 2 days ago by trans/homophobic neo-nazi landlord so this month will be a softer start with fewer elements than I promised. But fingers crossed December can get going with a bang!

And on the debates around how much grades matter:

Sure, they aren't the be all and end all of opportunities, and people shouldn't completely lose heart.

But they do make certain pathways (uni) much easier and help against an already skewed, non-meritocratic system.

[Inkpen @izzyinkpen]

I feel so genuinely, utterly devastated for people dealing with A-level results.

I'm about to start my dream Masters and I can't stop thinking about how it was my A-levels (which ended up being *better* than my predicted) that got me to where I am today.

I am so, so sorry.

[Inkpen @izzyinkpen]

I want to go in all guns blazing - signing petitions and writing letters and protesting and making a goddamn fuss, but I'm just too overwhelmed with trying to settle in here in Sweden rn

Here's 1 petition (https://t.co/7gDg4riWvJ) and if anyone has any others, throw them my way

[Young Greens 🌱 @YoungGreenParty]

Today's #ALevelsResults are a disaster. ❌

The algorithm used to predict final grades is flawed, unfair and unjust.

We're calling on @GavinWilliamson to:

🚫 Scrap the algorithm
✊ And use teacher grades!

[Vix Lowthion 💚 @VixL]

Assessed Grades at A Level identify what the student is capable of & showed during the course.
They're accurate.
Every year some students may messup or excel on the day in the exam - but in 2020 they didn't get that chance.
Keep the teacher assessed grades

[UNHCR United Kingdom @UNHCRUK]

Why are increasing numbers of asylum-seekers crossing the channel?

Asylum-seekers are more likely to resort to desperate measures to reach the UK when the legal routes to protection – such as resettlement and family reunion – are limited. (1/8)

[Inkpen @izzyinkpen]

@MazHedgehog OH SHIT YEAH. THAT WAS FUCKING FIRE. I FEEL SO SILLY. ok, my gimme gimme now means: get it out there publicly bc the world *needs* it also in written form so that my slow-ass brain can absorb it properly lol

[Inkpen @izzyinkpen]

@MazHedgehog i'm afraid idk (other than Lucy Writers perhaps, but i'm sure you've thought of them) but GIMME GIMMEEEEEE

[Inkpen @izzyinkpen]

@Arno_online I thought this would happen to me too bc New Zealand stole our place names, but this is so much better

[Inkpen @izzyinkpen]

@tobikyere https://t.co/AB2T31Gmyx is a literal miracle for finding any book new or second hand

[Inkpen @izzyinkpen]

@samiuhhh Aww thank you <3 let's just hope that the money comes too so I can keep going!

[Inkpen @izzyinkpen]

I am of course doing the research but if any Swedes out there want to give me some top tips on some sustainable/eco-positive fashion brands* in Sweden that'd be great! 🇸🇪♻️

In dire need of some more pants🩲

*No H&M's sustainable range does not count

[Inkpen @izzyinkpen]

just wanna say that if heat waves give you major climate anxiety, i feel you and i'm with you.

can't say anything more useful/inspiring than that, but like, i get it.

[Inkpen @izzyinkpen]

@samiuhhh Gosh yes. Environmental artistry all the way.
