As soon as I started telling the history of Palestine - and the fact that this genocide started 76 years ago with the Nakba, not with October 7th - they changed the subject to talk to Piers Morgan about a Netflix show. Interesting.

looking for some script editor work exp. Any short film writers (espec Midlands) up for another brain on their work. Bringing all the form-loving + rigour + detail + imagination from theatre 🪄 xx

I'm doing that Producer thing where I've been busy making a show and now it's like this week🥲 I really want people to come so SHARE SHARE SHARE and tell your fam and mates to come thru 👀🎉🔥 Definitely not what you expect from opera Birmingham Opera Company birminghamopera.org.uk/new-year

overjoyed to be spending the next few months adapting + directing this brilliant children's book into a play w/ Birmingham poet + legend Spoz. Collaborating with an all-star brum team on the story of an alligator living in the canal. All the radical joy.

all we do is teach children about sexuality and gender. every fairytale is about that, every game they play in the playground. what rosie means, of course, is we shouldn’t teach children about queer sexuality and genders that diverge from heteronormative cisness.

What will it take for political leaders to explicitly call out the Islamophobic and racist nature of the violence we are witnessing across the country?

It's offical, I've rang the police and they are aware of a 'demonstration' happening this afternoon at 5pm. Please spread the word and make sure you're all home and safe during this time!

I love this city ❤️❤️❤️

I could wax lyrical about the level of radical deep transformation, solidarity and political organising I hope for in the world and our role in it, but living in this country and watching people show up like this tonight. You know what, fair play folx, let’s see where we can take

If all that is offered is only what is known; only what is known will be all that is offered. Proud of @SameenaHX1 & Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan for proving that more than what is currently routinely offered needs to be sought out for those audiences currently starved of representation.

Today I can’t stop thinking of one of the 72 who perished in Grenfell Tower. Beautiful, talented Khadija. It is impossible to watch this snapshot of a life full of so much love and potential cut senselessly short and not be absolutely furious.

Library love! Here’s a new poem by Brum poet Bradley Taylor celebrating Stirchley Library and all the librarians and library assistants who are at the heart of our public libraries. Yes, heart is definitely the right word… ❤️ Birmingham Loves Libraries LibraryofBirmingham

For Black History Month, I want to highlight Black bookshops including New Beacon Books, the UK’s 1st Black bookshop. Back in 2021, owners said they’d be closing their doors due to financial constraints but people raised over £70k to keep them open. Check them out all year round

I don’t think anyone will ever be able to fully comprehend the extent of intergenerational trauma that is being created right now as we speak. This will be a stain on the history of humanity forever.
