I know Twitter isn't what it used to be and I 'should' delete my account. But I'm not ready to give up my tweets! This tweet meant I could look up @clairexinwen's review via Wayback Machine 🙏

Marginalised writers often feel pressure to write about pain, shame and trauma. Writing about joy can therefore be a radical act of self-preservation and self-expression. Joy can be mundane. Joy can be fleeting. Joy can be unexpected. Importantly, joy reminds us to be attentive.
