You KNOW it’s a good night when you’re knee-deep in fractals and writing a Pantoum about it 💅 #MathsPoems @HelloBrigstow @UoBrisBPI @MimiThebo @Wiglet1981

@BristolLibrary Thank you Denis!

[Johanna Darque @slowkind]

Good morning @BristolLibrary! Am I able to return books to a different library from which I borrowed them (still in Bristol)? Thank you!

[Johanna Darque @slowkind]

Very delighted to be editing English language subs at Poetrishy! Send us your poems/objects/art/code/equations/etc. 〰️ submission guidelines: https://t.co/fMQ7cppWBC

[Jack Thacker @Jack_Thacker]

There's no such thing as a short poetry reading, so they say, but 20 minutes is merciful. Delighted to be following @hollycorfield and @SuzannahVEvans in this series, who have both made it seem far too short. I'll do my best.

[Small Press *is on hiatus @smallpressbooks]

Very exciting call for contributions for new experimental space Poetrishy - send in your poems that clash between mathematics, computation, modelling, AI and whatever else you want to write/make/think. ✖️➰〰️

[Tangent Books @TangentBooks]

Genuinely one of the most creative, forward-thinking and formally fascinating poetry collections I've ever read, and my MA dissertation was on poetry and postmodernism!

Compiled by @slowkind, this truly stunning collection of work should be on the shelf of any poetry lover.

@rebeccakosick Umm hai! Also @prototypepubs @H_G_Press @GuillemotPress 👀

[Johanna Darque @slowkind]

DELIGHTED to receive my @mrbsemporium reading subscription ✨😍 I’ve started my book already!

[🍃📚Mimi Thebo📚🐾 @MimiThebo]

@bristol_writing, we're hiring another fiction writer!!! It's a very flexible 0.5 role and would suit an experienced PGR supervisor who likes doing public short courses.

Come and work with me and Billy Kahora in the wonderful @UoBrisEnglish department.

BOOK LOVERS, I need your help, you’ll thank me. The interest in Black voices is phenomenal & I need you to help make HISTORY. Can you PLEASE buy these books & help keep or get these four amazing Black Women to number 1 in the Sunday Times Bestseller lists in all 4 categories?

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

White supremacy won’t die until White people see it as a White issue they need to solve rather than a Black issue they need to empathize with.

[M Shed @mshedbristol]

We've been drying out banners from Sunday's BLM protests, cataloguing them, photographing them, and identifying those that are prominent in protest photos. #BlackLivesMatter #ContemporaryCollecting

[David Olusoga @DavidOlusoga]

Imagine being black in Bristol in 2020 and this is your councillor. This is who you're supposed to go to when you need help? A man who thinks a lampooning representation of black people is just a bit of fun and that a mass murderer is a hero. https://t.co/68XfR5ZfBy via @MetroUK

@Vanessa_Kisuule This is just beautiful. Thank you Xx

[Johanna Darque @slowkind]

Yesssssssssssssss 🖤

[Vanessa Kisuule @Vanessa_Kisuule]

I've never been prouder to be Bristol City Poet & to offer a poem to my adopted city than I am today. This piece is called Hollow and I hope you like it. I've captioned it and everything!

Rust in shame, Eddie.

[Johanna Darque @slowkind]

THIS is what we want see in museums! 🙌🏻

[M Shed @mshedbristol]

Yesterday was a historic moment in Bristol's story.

This is a snapshot from inside M Shed today. #BlackLivesMatter

[Alisha Rai @AlishaRai]

the teas are done with your racist bullshit

[Martin Booth @beardedjourno]

Historic scenes in Bristol as protesters kneel on the neck of the toppled statue of Edward Colston for eight minutes. #blacklivesmatter

[Johanna Darque @slowkind]

Yes! Can’t wait to read this!

[Bristol Radical History Group @BrisRadHis]

To shamelessly exploit breaking news, we proudly announce the publication of: From Wulfstan to Colston: Severing the sinews of slavery in Bristol by our very own Mark Steeds & Roger Ball. Never airbrush Bristol’s history: https://t.co/baUmWNQ2We Available:

The space where Colston stood is now filled with #BlackLivesMatter signs - a powerful day in Bristol
