Being able to have my research and chapter drafts exist side-by-side in the same piece of software has been an absolute game changer for my ADHD brain. Constantly switching between different programmes was exhausting.

@CentralLpoolPCN Do you need to be due your second dose (12 weeks later) or can you receive it early at the pop up?

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

@m4cresfest2021 I'm seeing everything but the 'access the event' button. Will keep trying!

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

@scott_riley And again.

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

A chapter I've been really struggling with is finally coming together AND I have actual first draft! I'm so happy it's finally taking shape.

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

@Dr_Aimz @TLockwood_Moran @stakkkiii @DanielBilton4 @EmilyKateTimms Thank you ♥️

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

Really enjoyed @DystopiaJunkie's talk for @MidsPopCulture today! Fascinating and insightful thoughts on documentary fiction and objective truth in 'The Power' and 'American War'.

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

@stakkkiii How long are you here for? Hope you're having a lovely time x

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

I've read Akwaeke Emezi's 'Freshwater' twice now and I just want to read it all over again. Definitely favourite novel material.

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

I've been really struggling with writing lately but I've managed 500 words today. I have no idea if they make sense or not but it's a big improvement!

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

@NatalieBraber So well deserved, Natalie! Congratulations!

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

Really enjoyed #M4CDigiFest20 today! Particularly impressed by the super important work involving the normalisation of sexual violence in Greek myths for children by @RobinDiver22 and @Syncopate_Media's quest to make Black British women activists' voices heard. Thank you both!

So much this. My life & imagination & empathy have been immeasurably enriched by reading Black literature (not that these are the only reasons to do so).

Read Octavia Butler, N.K. Jemisin, Zora Neale Hurston, & Audre Lorde among others.

Please help George Floyd's family and donate here: https://t.co/FYaNqAwh8K. I've donated and wish I could do more #BlackLivesMatter

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

@VieClaire06 @scott_riley It genuinely worked, though. It got us where we needed to be!

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

@MxBadgerNorth Thank you for sharing it! It's just good to know it exists. I'll hopefully get my hands on a copy one day.

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

This book looks incredible. If only it weren't so expensive🙁

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

@MxBadgerNorth @FolkloreThurs @TLockwood_Moran I thought this might interest you! ^^^

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

@NVPoco do you know anyone who would be interested a virtual postcolonial reading group?

[Roxie Ablett @roxieablett]

Hi @ntuhum, @NTUEngLit, and @Midlands4Cities people, I'm starting up a virtual postcolonial reading group (thanks to @AndrewThacker1 for the suggestion!). I'm hoping to focus on postcolonial fantasy and science fiction. Please get in touch if you'd like to get involved! (1/2)
