My new essay on birthdays, parenting and 💩💩💩in swimming pool changing rooms just dropped! Give it a read @ https://t.co/hvq3jzvLlP

I have been writing this piece in my mind for 2 years. I would love you to read it https://t.co/XPgUBdExrx

Sunday in Kaiwharawhara My newest piece of writing is up. Give it a read, subscribe if you feel like it, pay if you can! https://t.co/ZlhAmX1EIh

So that pun was an example of the kind of base like we will be working with over here. Essentially this is me re lighting the birthday cake candle of my writing career and desperately asking you to help me not blow it out. (4/?)

So my substack, like this thread, is about me very much trying my best for an unknown reader (you). It is a place to put my writing with the hope that someone might pick it up. After having my son I stopped putting myself on the page and I miss it. A lot. (2/?)

“So here I am, just a writer, standing in front of a reader, asking you to keep me accountable.” That’s right, dear reader. I started a substack. Substack said to try and write a thread about it. I don’t really speak twitter but here goes (1/?)

Hey @metlinkwgtn I left a bag of lemons on the number 1 bus just now. Any chance I can get it back?

I was today years old when I learnt that it is OranguTAN not OranguTANG. I learnt this from my 8 month old’s baby book.

Hey @nosuchthing this is a real sign at a dog park in New Zealand and apparently it’s in memory of a real guy. I thought it was a joke but my friend sent me a photo of his grave. Big fan of dogs I believe. Can’t make it up…

'I am going on a bear hunt and making the ABSOLUTE MOST OF IT making a meal of it' It's bear hunt time! We're so lucky to have a new poem from new mother @Sarsbars89, their first since welcoming baby James into the world. https://t.co/LVuowgmurP

When I get married I will take my partner’s surname. And also his first name

How serious was @nosuchthing about including a poem for each chapter in their upcoming book? Because that is a collab I would be VERY open to…. 😀

The wonderful @alaynekat bought this for my baby but I am very jealous that he will get to wear it. Do I know anyone who I could comission to make me an adult version? Legit serious 😀
