Look at these superstars ❤️
I think it's fair to say these young ladies were much better at singing than promotion! Lovely to meet some of the cast of The Doncastrian Chalk Circle. More than 100 locals will perform alongside professional actors for the @NationalTheatre at @castindoncaster @itvcalendar

The key question when building a participation* strategy is not “what do people need from us?” but “what do we need from people?” 🧵

Hey Twitter! We're a collective of folks rooted in both Black and Jewish traditions of spirituality, resistance and organising! We love our people and we're here to challenge discourses that speak about us, without us!
Such a deep joy to learn, play and make alongside this inspiring company of citizen artists over the summer. Beautifully captured by @RajMadaanMEDIA
Throughout the Summer, Cast, in partnership with the @NationalTheatre Public Acts programme worked with 20 local people to create The Magic of Wild Heather. This fantastic video created by @RajMadaanMEDIA highlights the incredible work put on by a really special group of people.

I was just making some snarky comment about this tweet redefining the phrase “something interesting” and then saw it had literally thousands of retweets so really what the fuck do I know.
Something interesting I've noticed teaching is Gen Z just does not use Microsoft Word, period. When you ask them to submit .doc files they're all converting them from Google Docs or Pages.

Dogs that look a bit mean and have to wear that collar on that says “nervous” to change your impression of them ...I find totally heartbreaking. It’s bad enough that we humans expect the worst and of each other but dogs? DOGS NOW?!

Bandcamp are waiving their fees today. We made a show called The Darkest Corners a few years ago which has felt painfully relevant recently, and always. We've made the music available for free, but if you want to donate it will go to @togetherwomen > rashdash.bandcamp.com/album/…
