Just found an edit note I left myself at stupid o’clock: ‘make this… better. But like, in a cool way.’ That’s super helpful. What’s the weirdest editing note you’ve left yourself?

Writing tip: If you’re stuck, write the worst possible version of your idea. Just absolutely ruin it. I find that sometimes, breaking it makes fixing it easier.

Best thing for me about the #Curae prize number number 48: it’s an unbelievable gift to receive the first piece of work that anyone has sent out ever. Sometimes, the first piece they’ve ever written. #carers thecuraeprize.uk Entries close 1st March: unpaid carers - this is just for YOU 💙📚

Timothée Chalamet shines as Bob Dylan in #ACompleteUnknown. Woody & Pete deserve a film of their own. However, the credits incorrectly claim Dylan is the only songwriter to win the Nobel Prize in Literature—Rabindranath Tagore, was awarded it in 1913.

We are preparing to return to northern Gaza on Saturday, my family and I are homeless and without a source of income after the destruction. We need your support to provide for our family's needs. Did you know that we need $1,000 for transportation? gofund.me/a5658683

David Lynch’s Catching the Big Fish came to me at just the right time. A beautiful meditation on creativity, life, and the profound impact of Transcendental Meditation. It’s a book that stayed with me, like many of his films. #davidlynch

Israel has killed 80 Palestinians since announcing the ceasefire and now has the audacity to say Hamas are the ones creating a ‘last-minute crisis.’ This is the nature of barbaric oppression, played out in full colour for all to see. If you don’t understand this, you are inhuman.

The ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza is a fragile pause in a relentless tragedy. Peace isn’t just the absence of rockets; it’s the presence of justice. #Gaza #Ceasetheoccupation

International law doesn’t exist. Human rights don’t exist. This is what the West is unequivocally telling us. There are just those with power and what they choose to do with it, and they want us silent and passive while they slaughter thousands of innocent children in our name.
