Thanks Nuseir Yassin for the courage to think on a non-binary way. Encouraging in this time of heartache.

Trenchant, timely podcast from Jonathan Freedland.

So great to be part of this multi-genre panel exploring Jewish and Muslim representions of identity last week. Thanks to ⸻ 𝚄𝙽𝙼𝙴𝙸 for organising, and the brilliant Shamim Azad for compereing.

Thanks, Writing on the Wall, for giving me an empowering space to develop my writing and take it seriously. By connecting me with Bluemoose Books you helped get my debut novel published. Any UK debut novelists out there, l urge you to apply. Writing on the Wall really does live up to its name.

A tough writing day today brightened considerably by this gorgeous gift from the chef and baker at my writing café for being such a loyal customer. #WritingCommunity #letwriterseatcake
