Creative multi-tasker, writer and artist and and former unpaid carer (you're never really an ex carer.) Old punk. Newish tree hugger. Mostly Sheffielder.

We all have stories to tell, here's mine (or at least a part of it) and I'm going to put shyness aside to retweet, and say, if anyone reading this would like a copy I will send one to the first person to DM me. And thank you, John, for such a compliment XX

@HDA_tweeting That looks fascinating.

[Melanie Jane Pearson @melanouri]

@johnfeath Absolute top 5 for me. Still get the shivers thinking about that amazing dawn horse silhouette shot, the unmistakeable voice singing "Leaning..."

@HDA_tweeting Whoop! That is worth coming back to Twitter for! That's amazing news 🥳🥳

[Huntington's Disease Association @HDA_tweeting]

We are excited to share that we will be featured in a BBC Lifeline Appeal this April. This incredible opportunity will raise much-needed awareness and funds for our work in the Huntington's disease community.

@JoshHalliday @helenpidd Congratulations! You’ll be ace - I mean, you’ll continue being ace!

[Melanie Jane Pearson @melanouri]

@JedKingly @GIRLVANGELION Close to perfect. Gives me a shiver up my spine just seeing these stills.

@CETurner1975 @CarersLeeds Not seen it yet but very pleased to see these stories on mainstream tv and it really helps to have that celebrity involvement. It really could happen to anyone.

[Claire Turner @CETurner1975]

Looking forward to watching this, this evening. Proud that #unpaidcarers in #Leeds and @CarersLeeds played a small part. Essential viewing

@occursus1 💙💙💙

[Melanie Jane Pearson @melanouri]

@JasonHolyhead Yup

[Melanie Jane Pearson @melanouri]

@Carer49 @BBCRadioScot Oh yes!

[Melanie Jane Pearson @melanouri]

@JamesOHaraAgain Not even gonna try.

[Melanie Jane Pearson @melanouri]

@occursus1 @UAL @LCCLondon I love that view! Always cheers me up at the elephant roundabout.

@johnfeath Think I'll stick to Ikiru...

@Bridgeanne Was talking over Christmas with a social care manager from one of the most hard-hit local authorities, and she described frightening levels of need, where services simply can't meet demand from people in crisis. Narrowly averting disaster, but only just, and for how long?

[Melanie Jane Pearson @melanouri]

@johnfeath Blimey, not seen that since film school. Can't remember much except a lot of shouting and sword slashing!

[Melanie Jane Pearson @melanouri]

God help America. How is this possible? The thought of hearing that voice all over the news again is utterly repellent, but I keep thinking of Fiona Hill's wonderful book "There is Nothing For You Here" & her analysis of why so many people believe in him as a leader.

@salthepoet @RobGMacfarlane I’d love to hear the song and see the film , Sally, will it be shown anywhere else before DocFest?

[Melanie Jane Pearson @melanouri]

@OoshOne Thank you! I’ll check it out. It’s such a useful thing to learn.

[Melanie Jane Pearson @melanouri]

Watched “The Sound of Metal” last night and it has made me really excited to learn BSL. Has anyone here got advice on where to start?
