@TheDocSociety This is such sad news. No one was more synonymous with independent documentary and Jess was such a vital presence on the documentary scene.
#NationalSiblingsDay2023 and @Sibs_uk focuses on the unique (tricky/fun/stuff inbetween) role siblings have in the lives of their disabled brothers or sisters #SiblingStrengths
So: me and Raana debating the merits of coffee and, typically, whether I’d get her another! #fragilex

Autechre are very underrated considering what they have done. There’s no framework to approach what they do comparatively, and I think that’s why. In the future I have no doubt it’ll be canon like Mozart. It’s up to the critics & institutions of today to make sure of that though.
Thanks @Hardeep_Matharu@peterjukes@BylineTimes team for *consistently* supporting stories overlooked or underplayed elsewhere.
If you've read @truth4connor's story, this by @sfhosali is worth reading on why #HumanRights are vital, to us all▶️https://t.co/0PXpSR4GB7
So happy to be included on this list of reporters shedding light on vital issues. And my @tortoise nomination is with @Geordiedav@gemmanewby for A place for Elliott, the story of @Ian_Goldsworthy's family. A story of Covid, vaccines, autism, love, fear - and a young man's future
A late push for this: who cares for the carers? It's sparked by Reuben and @ManniCoeWrites' book, about love, essentially, and by @Sibs_uk
If you're a sibling or family carer, it may resonate. Ignoring the community that plugs the growing gaps left by the state is short-sighted.
