I love being a PhD student.
it feels like I’m expected to be miserable or overwhelmed.
but as a first-gen student, I’ve had to overcome a lot worse to get here.
to read and write and learn for a living feels like a gift that I hope I never take for granted, inshallah 🙏🏽

It’s get-in @arcolatheatre for 2023 #PapatangoPrize winner SOME DEMON by Laura Waldren. As we open this world premiere by a debut writer, we thought it might be useful to be transparent about what this show takes. The £££, the timeline, the risks, all of it.
So, here goes...

To say we’re holding Isreal to a “high standard” is such a cowardly dog whistle to justify the belief that it is unreasonable to criticise the IDF and Netanyahu

ALT Stood on a library reception desk, a person wearing orange overalls sings, with their arms out to either side. Behind the desk, the librarian looks up at them.
ALT The library is lit up in blue. A person sits on a beanbag reading a book. Behind them to either side, two people peer out from behind the library shelves, looking at the person reading.

In 2009 I arrived at @HertfordCollege as a 19 yo with a strong sense of imposter syndrome. I didn't have friends or family who'd been to @UniofOxford & it all seemed very alien. This Thursday I return to talk about my new book, published by @OUPPolitics. Funny how things work out
Ready and waiting in the @NationalTheatre for the @AlfredFagonAwrd / @MustaphaMatura awards. It’s exciting because I really don’t have much hope in winning and so my main focus is on making the most of this newfound exciting and talented community of young black writers! THANK U
But if you’re interested in reading about my play The Fire This Time which is one of the contenders today then check out this Q&A (along with the other nominees): alfredfagonaward.co.uk/cj-si…

I feel incredibly warm and fuzzy at the end of the beginning of this fantastic project
What a day for @timelapsethtr. Sharing 30 minutes of our first project. A new musical about the end of the world by 6 co-writers. Made as part of @newdiorama’s Intervention 01.

I'm in several parents of trans kids groups, that are today talking about their children's reactions to yesterday's hate.
Children & adolescents were in tears & feeling afraid, mocked by their own prime minister.
We need louder allies.
