Tim Crouch 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺@thistimcrouch·17 Eki

My work's produced/tours internationally. It's studied/written about/reviewed widely. It's won some shit. There's a book coming out. I'm very grateful. Yesterday the press were invited to see my new play. Only @guardian (😍) came. So what's that about? Oh yeah. Young people.

We are devastated to say that our beautiful Isabelle died in the early hours of this morning. We are absolutely broken. However, we want you all not to think of her death, but to honour her by living life as she did: fearlessly, joyously & spontaneously.

@DanRebellato Oh yes. It’s gorgeous, near perfect tv. Both laughs at and adores teenagers (and the ‘for the mammies’ ep is a delight). Exquisite on the interplay between life and its wider context (the season finales are each wonderful for this). And just so so damn funny.

Okay and the latest example of this: Derry Girls. Oh god it’s wonderful.

You know that thing where everyone says how great a TV show is but you don’t watch it and you get annoyed at people going on about it and assume it’s overrated and ignore it and then some years later you try it and it’s brilliant? Us. This week. #Taskmaster

@Judi_Amato Ha! Glad to have helped a little! And you know you actually can still call to/on me (panicking is not a prerequisite- though if you ARE panicking then absolutely do reach out) - I love hearing from you x

Whenever I am struggling with writing (and with life too) I remember a particularly lovely call with @RachClements in the thick of my MA where she quoted “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt”. Sometimes all you can do IS go through it. Cheers Rachel, I miss being able to panic call you!

@MrLukowski Oh boy - I thought our 4-yr-old’s 9.30pm hold-our was testing…Good luck….(I was informed, as he finally fell asleep, that he plans not just to open his gifts “but also yours, mummy, the ones with the wrapping that I like”…)

@KirstySedgman Sending love and really hoping that the next few weeks can include some more rest and recuperation. And yes, agree about normalising talking about the struggles when it feels safe and comfortable enough to do so. Xx

I’m not ready to talk about all of it yet, but recently my old pal depression made a screaming comeback, & long story short – I had a breakdown. Dissociation. Hallucinations. Howling at myself in public. Collapsing on the street unable to get home again without help. It was bad.

Kirsty Sedgman@KirstySedgman

working in academia is an endless chain of being warned that you’re gonna burn out, doing all the things anyway & burning out, then having to watch your younger colleagues burning out as you futilely warn them not to
