Someone has actually stolen my image, used it on their wall and REMOVED my signature.
😡
@SWAMP_Glasgow please remove this immediately. It's my work. You have STOLEN this and I received no payment for it.
This is THEFT.
HOW DARE YOU?
Please everyone, share!
I'm sick of this.

I love your poems Josa. Everyone with a sense of humour about being a middle-aged woman should read 'My Love-Life and Other Disasters.'

But no one is stopping anyone from referring to themselves as 'woman' or 'pregnant woman' if they so want to, and if they identify as such.

To contribute to First Words in Dalston, you have to 'choose the first sentence from any publication that could reasonably be expected to be within the [CLR James] library'. The list so far includes 1984, Catch 22 and The Edible City: A Year of Wild Food. bit.ly/3f0D3cC

I'm looking for an #illustrator, ideally a woman of colour, for a really nice new project, #illustrating a modern classic children's novel. I know she must be out there -- It'll be a lovely job for the right person... dm me! #books #jobs #ArtistOnTwitter #bameartists

‘I was satisfied with haiku until I met you,
jar of octopus, cuckoo’s cry, 5-7-5,
but now I want a Russian novel,’
I’m really really enjoying the poetry of Dean Young.

Do y’all remember, before the internet, that people thought the cause of stupidity was the lack of access to information?
Yeah. It wasn’t that. 🤦🏼♀️

My mother died of cervical cancer. She was a single mother who left behind two boys aged 6 and 8. Nothing could ever prepare you for that loss. I will die on a hill wishing everyone would #vaccinate against #hpv. It would have saved my mother and would have changed my life. – at Portland, OR

When my dad was very old he used to misremember things like this, but by that point you really wouldn't have elected him Prime Minister.

Hey @JonathanMeres could you help out Oakwood infants school in Derby by retweeting this? They lost the entire contents of their library when water collapsed their roof and if the odd follower of yours could send a children's book they could start to rebuild their collection.
