Conway McDermott

I've only ever used twitter to connect with people I admire and talk about my work, but like... Jesus Christ, at some point you have to just ask what the point is? Like, I don't need to contribute ad revenue to the guy throwing darts at me and my community. 1/1

Returning for one tweet only! Finally got my invite for bluesky and predictably have no idea how to find anyone. Could anyone using both platforms suggest threads / communities to connect over uk theatre and new writing? (or say hi so I can follow you) #uktheater #newwriting

To those who feel similarly, please genuinely consider if what you get from this place outweighs the harm it's doing, both to you, and to others. All the best, and Adios x 4/4

So to all of my 13 followers, this is me leaving twitter. Might deactivate my account, or I might leave it up to signpost my other socials, but either way, this website isn't worth it, whatever drop in the ocean my contributions make here to it's existence aren't worth it. 3/4

@SmoothDunk nothing scores better on the profitometer than remembering to sign your work.

a tense day for all the brand managers out there

@DaranLittle Absolutely fucking shit x People who claim to be allies who love and demand lgbt characters can be so quick to demonise and attack lgbt writers and creatives. They need to take a fucking look at themselves. Sending love x

@SupportDetrans I'm so sorry you're getting this grief. I want to fuckin' shake these people and say that detrans folks share so many of our struggles, share our need for medical care, and belong in our community for as long as they want to be there. Sending care your way x

@Schereeya @Judi_Amato @JudeAHLeath Hi! First off, holy shit do I love this? I hope on the big day there's going to be a new year's eve time square descending glitter ball of some kind??? Thank you for sharing yourself and your work, I am instantly here to stan x

@Judi_Amato @ofdermott @JudeAHLeath hi! I'm schereeya, he/him, they/them, fae/faer. I'm working on a "limited edition boobs" art piece to celebrate my impending top surgery. Also writing some poetry and some theatre!!

@ofdermott Hey Conway, I’m a writer/performer bringing my show WASTEMAN to the Greater Manchester Fringe in July. It’s the story of a bin-man who wants to be a drag queen inspired by my time as a refuse loader over lockdown. manchester.ssboxoffice.com/events/wastema…

@queyntegerhl Oh yes please I would absolutely love that! I think I'm going to be sending out a few million 'do you want to get a coffee and have a chat' messages after this thread, but it'd be great to hear more about your work!
