Some of my classmates and I put together a list of books by people of colour and books to educate ourselves about the experiences of people of colour. I am pinning it here so we have access to it and can add to it.

@AndiJaneway90 @sacha_coward I got mine at store 104 in Rochester store104.co.uk there was at least one other signed copy when I was there.

@TrimSarah @sacha_coward Mine isn't signed 😭

@sacha_coward are we still posting photos of us buying your book?

@stangleskid My dad went to high school with someone named Richard Head

@DrFrancesRyan We called that sleepy face in my house and it is highly regarded

It’s Monday, so please enjoy Mabel’s face being crumpled after a big sleep.

@SomaKazima My former roommate was once told that it must be quiet living with a deaf person (me). Pretty sure she's still laughing 15 years later

That is hilarious LMFAOOOOOOOO

@chloeikennedy I work a job that means my photo is occasionally in the local press. I'm legit wearing the same outfit every time 🤣

i’m starting the narrative that rewearing clothes in multiple pictures is super chic because it’s proof that you own them instead of renting or just buying to return/resell

@sacha_coward I don't have any Pokémon cards, but my mom has some good grasshopper catching jars.

Hey hey wanna trade Pokémon cards and ride bikes my dad says we can't play Sega but if we turn the volume down he won't know I saw a stick insect the size of a squirrel in the garden do you know how to make spaghetti come out your nose?

I've shaved the beard off... Might have to go and get some prittstick... I look like a 9 year-old.

@Luiseach On the flip side, I was formula fed and my mom talks about how surprised she was that my poo had no smell. Babies are all different 🤷

I’m not a parent myself so have no firsthand experience but I was a breastfed baby and I sense that my parents would violently disagree with this. even 39 years later they both still have poonami stories told with haunted eyes like they served in the Somme

@kwoade She knows

Being told she’s a good girl 💛

@KevinMcKenna Hello, we emailed three weeks ago and haven't heard anything back.

@_SockDog Poppy also got a bath. She doesn't understand why people take such offence at her smell.

TrainerFrenLee dids bath me

@oldenoughtosay My mama taught me to curse

@oldenoughtosay Just realised I used the wrong brake 🤦

@oldenoughtosay I first learned to drive in Houston, Texas. Automatic. I never used to use the hand break. But then I moved to Essex, learned to drive a manual, and now I always use the hand break.

@Sally_writes My husband excitedly showed me a bag we bought me saying, "It's purple!! Purple is your favourite colour!!" Reader, it was hot pink. And that's how we found out my husband is colourblind.

Husband doesn't always nail my presents. Here's the notebook he thought I'd like because it has 'birds' on it...

@TheMamasaurus People will look at my obviously Italian mom and wonder why I'm ginger. Their minds are blown when they find out that my grandfather was ginger. DNA is more than your immediate parents 🤦

@crisistalker "This came from a damp room" I'm an archivist

What are the six most dangerous words in your profession?

@oldenoughtosay Capybaras and my dog being an absolute ho

@sighyam I went to school with someone called chicken

the international community has re-discovered yet again the quirkiness of Thai names lmao

@MrsRieB We have a surplus in our family 😅 almost all of them our known by nicknames. In fact I once went to pick my cousin up from work and was really confused when someone called her Marie. "Who the hell is Marie??? Oh..."
