When I die, I want to be known as a supporter of trans people. That will be my legacy.

The last few days have been devastating. We want to extend solidarity to those 62 branch members who have been forced to take @goldsmithsuol meagre redundancy package. Your loss will be felt for a long time & Goldsmiths is poorer without you.

@keirangoddard1 some of those would be classed as autofiction maybe? but that’s why i like this genre; the definition blurs the lines of philosophy, autobiography & fiction, & calls into question those genres

@keirangoddard1 philosophical memoir is one of my fav genres. superfamous examples but didier erebon’s return to reims, robin wall kimmerer’s braiding sweetgrass, chris kraus’s i love dick, maggie nelson’s bluets, autobiography of angela davis, philip k dick’s valis & primo levi’s periodic table

🚨 📚 QUESTION Interpreted as broadly as you like, what is the best memoir you’ve ever read? Particularly interested if the writing is good, and if the primary value is psychological or philosophical, rather than … I did a bunch of cool stuff in my life.

bye then

WE DID IT! Bristol, we made history💚 Thank you so much to the people of Bristol Central who have elected me as their MP As this city's first Green MP, I promise to be a strong, independent voice for Bristol's values, pushing the govt to be bolder on the issues that matter

@ZoeBobRoberts it’s massive but totally captivating and i just read it on holiday and loved it - Books of Jacob. obscure history astonishingly well researched and turned into a beautifully experimental novel.

On a very last minute hunt for a few holiday reads - please hit me up w your recommends! Generally looking for funny/striking/exciting/world-building - generally avoid anything miserable on the beach but a lil splash of dark and weird is encouraged

@SoozUK unrelated, but - this photo is so nice sooz!

Any early-career south-west sound designers with availability next week give me a shout. Paid opportunity - very simple setup and great for people looking to get into sound design for theatre! RTs welcome

This is one of those moment when little Englander anti-foreigner rhetoric sinks an economy. £38,000 minimum salary and no dependents will mean huge swathes of our NHS, social care and hospitality businesses have staff shortages… bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Huge congratulations to the incredible cast and creative team of our 2023 Christmas Show - The Good, The Bad & The Coyote Ugly! Everyone has worked their cowboy boots off to bring Bristol a memorable night of shootouts, bar brawls, horse chases & crop-tops thewardrobetheatre.com/livetheatre/th…

We are heartbroken to learn of Hamas’s brutal murder of lifelong Canadian-Israeli peace activist, Vivian Silver. We wholeheartedly condemn and abhor these indiscriminate attacks against civilians, which have caused untold suffering to so many families.

A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country. 1/n
