People really need to learn that when they reply to a tweet, all the people mentioned in the original post are tagged in. Either they don't realise or a lot of people that watch teatime quiz shows are real assholes that think their shitty opinions of us need to be seen by us...
you guys aren't mad at the police enough for me
😬😬😬😬
like yes it's the patriarchy - but it's also the police.
the officer is also being questioned about a "separate allegation of indecent exposure"
I'm glad this tweet has been a springboard for people to share their experiences ❤️ wishing nothing but peace & love for you all
feel free to follow me for more lukewarm takes on race, mental health, spirituality and lazy jokes about being a horny pansexual 🥰
To address a few comments relating to my voice on House of Games:
It’s true, I DO sound different. Some would say like a cartoon. My voiceover agents
@SueTerryVoices
sure would 🥰 and you’ve likely heard me on ads and in cartoons.
Good news, I’m available to hire for more ✨
Thank you to everyone who’s outpoured LOVE after yesterday’s show! I appreciate your warmth and kindness 🥰
We must choose love over hate and fear always ✨
I once had one tell me, a professional comedian, that I must not have made it because he hadn't seen me on anything.
The look on his friends faces when I said "your mistake is thinking your awareness of my work has any relationship to my success"
fun AND true
I have spent my life getting on the last nerve of racist white men and I can tell you there is no fact or statistic you can offer that will upset them or get the job done quite like just saying “I actually don’t value your opinion on this matter” HEADS SPIN OK
the thing about people getting salty at me being on their TV is… by the time you’ve tweeted about your dissatisfaction, I’ve already
1) had fun
2) made a dream come true
3) been paid handsomely
shared some stuff on insta about money 💰 sharing here in case it helps bring someone a little peace 🙏🏾
maybe it’s maybelline... but it’s most likely money.
🥳 On House of Games this week with the very tall and very smart

, plus the incredibly clever

, Kevin Clifton and

I was a lil scared, but everyone was so kind (even when they were trying to kick my ass) and it was the soooo fun 💗
if y'all invite me on TV and a white person raises their voice in my direction - you won't be commenting on "how graciously I handled it" the next day.
QUITE INTERESTING!!!
thanks to everyone who wished me luck! The lucky wishes worked!
as a side note - this show was the best experience I’ve ever had on a panel show set as a queer, black, neurodivergent bae
It’s because of their amazing team 💗

writing topical comedy was one of the toughest jobs I’ve ever had - because America is so consistently fucked up that Black women who write/present these shows don’t get a break from having to satirize *life threatening* news
And we do it all while being beautiful AF✨
last night in a sweaty club bar an adult white woman told me her spirit animal was “a 70 year old Black woman in church” then proceeded to fan herself as part of a pretty good, oddly specific but very racist impression 🫠
Real talk: this Fringe has been utterly, utterly exhausting for almost everyone I know up here. Lovely for some acts to have the noms and those that are sold out till the end, but if you’re not in that boat (or even if you are) and you feel like crap, you’re very much not alone…
I grew up saying the N word colloquially with my friends and loved ones. It’s actually a part of my lexicon.
But I don’t feel comfortable using it on stage. I didn’t in 2015 when the footage in question was taken. I just don’t know how AB *ever* thought it was okay —
right! Like he’s benefiting from the privilege of his *image* (WHITE, small build, always in a suit, fresh haircut, clean shaven) — folks project this innocence onto him. But he admits to being a piece of shit in his stand up often so... you lied to yourselves.
you deserve to be happy
go somewhere you want to go
do something you want to do
set a self timer and run to pose comfortably
be surprised by how much you love the photo ✨
I 100% know I made the right decision for me in leaving that show - and at the very same time am so happy for my friends who are having a positive experience and moving their career forward 💗 it’s beautiful to witness
police have an extra layer of entitlement by way of authority, and confidence in their ability to get away with shit.
And ignoring that as a factor in this case is not right.
Sha’Carri Richardson lost her mother not even a month ago. I’ve smoked more for less.
We must destigmatize & decriminalize marijuana. A plant with clear health benefits that isn’t performance enhancing.
The news this week is hot trash 🚮
Feeling big blessed ✨
voicing parts in 2 different animated projects this week 🙌🏾
one playing a spirit orb one playing a baby monkey.
May my voice never belong to a human again.
Moving house. And have officially gone from: sort, organize/ neatly fold and label
to: put, it in, a fucking box, any box just a box, close the box, new box, box, box
The transphobic comments under this post are absolutely disgusting. Mridul is a public servant working on behalf of Scottish women (not to mention a sweet lady!) and deserves to be celebrated, not abused 💗
In Gone Girl, Ben Affleck's character was supposed to wear a baseball cap in an airport to avoid attention, but a spat between the actor and director David Fincher over which team's hat it would be shut down production for 4 days.
The pair eventually compromised on a Mets hat.
This tweet is not to be used to make it seem like I am “cancelling” Alfie Brown.
Cancellation is not real
Meanwhile it’s somehow appropriate to signal boost my tweets to the British public
Putting me at risk for actual racist abuse?!
I Write Sins Not Tragedies is actually insane
“What a beautiful wedding. What a beautiful wedding!” says a bridesmaid to a waiter
“Oh yes, but what a shame the poor groom’s bride is a WHORE”
I chime in, “HAVENT YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF CLOSING THE GODDAMN DOOR?”
What?!
as if life isn’t hard enough I just remembered that I’m supposed to be doing kegel exercises so my p*ssy doesn’t randomly fall out 20 years from now :/
had a chat with some friends last night about how thinking about my gender and presentation was giving me a headache so now I just she/they and vibe 🤙🏾
guys 🙈 I have the vid 🦠
I’ve got covid nine-scream
and...
IF I WASN'T VACCINATED I WOULD FEEL MUCH WORSE
my symptoms so far are needing loads of sleep (which I like tbh), body aches, being sweaty 💦, weakened smell & taste, not ONE cough.
Mask up & GET VAXXED 💉💉💉
Like to be a white man saying the n word (-a or -er) on a stage is violent. Period.
And this incident highlighted to me that it’s a privilege that even I don’t feel I have, which I believe was the point of his joke.
His lack of access to the N Word
My Facebook page was disabled with no explanation and no way to appeal it 😭
I’ve had that account for over 10 years and have connections/ memories there that don’t exist anywhere else
And no way to contact

about it
Excuse me honey but why did nobody tell me ALL the episodes of
#BigBoys
are available now?!?
I’m really about to sit through these Coors light ads. Damn you
@jackrooke
Let’s be clear -
#FreeBritney
is not about celebrity gossip or celebrity culture
It’s about human rights and the way you can snatch someone’s away by claiming they are mentally unwell
Everyone should care about this
