Actually really proud of the stories that I've worked on for my MA & want to put them somewhere as a portfolio.
While I figure that out, I'll do it in my fav format: The Twitter Thread
“All art is political” is not a claim that all art is made with political intent, it means that all art is a byproduct of its socio-historical moment and therefore exists as a political artifact. Art literally cannot escape the political.
London is a 24-hour city with more than 1.3m Londoners working through the night to keep our city going.
I’m pleased that a record four-in-five night workers are now receiving at least the London Living Wage, but it’s shocking that they face so many inequalities.
For those of us who are writers and readers, I noticed that a lot of folks aren't familiar with the rich canon of Palestinian literature and don't know where to begin reading. In response to this, down below is a thread of novels, non-fiction, and poetry about Palestine (🧵):

When a woman is being stalked and harassed online, it may seem harmless to advise her to "just go offline" and "delete your social media."

One of my favourite nerdy Titanic facts is that the process of filming the 1997 film actually helped solve a big mystery about the sinking: what happened to the grand staircase.
If the cool, high art projects treat their artists like garbage, those artists burn out and go to the jobs that treat them well. You don’t get better art from abused artists, you get the best, most experienced artists avoiding those projects after they’ve been burned
