I had a little cry yesterday because, today, I will pay off the final £3,592 to become 100% debt free for the first time in my adult life. When I got sober over a decade ago, I owed more £60,000 (and some in very unsavoury places) so this is a small miracle for me.

Secondly, from The Voice publishing a Tate incel fanboy to Piers Morgan not challenging "no woman has ever complained about me" to every half-sympathetic thinkpiece, our media is largely responsible for the rise in influence of this monster as they put his views up for "debate".

@ShentonStage @lyngardner @TheStage Don't be obtuse. No one is asking Stage to get rid of their paywall entirely. It's been requested over a single article with particular importance to the safety, mental health and experiences of all those who work in theatre.

Phillips has built an entire brand (and a lucrative side career) from being a voice for women who experience domestic violence. So to be like "nah, just gonna ignore the world's most prominent misogynist and internet radicalisation" is wild. Who are you even for?!

If anyone fancies connecting with a bitta nature and learning about herbal remedies and decolonialism, I'm producing some walks with @tiatafahodzi which will be happening in Watford at the end of the month. They're free to attend and will be dope.

Extraordinarily scummy behaviour from @HOME_mcr who are not only silencing Palestinian voices and their allies but want to invoke sentiments of Islamophobia with this insidious "safety" concern.

Using Jewish people to sow seeds for dissent and undermine calls for Palestinian liberation is *not* catering to "one demographic" as I keep seeing it being said by people too cowardly to say it with their chest.

30 *working* days is like six weeks. That's too long for people to go without being paid their money. And people preemptively chase because many companies are deliberately bad at paying and offer no transparency or communication. I done the work. Now I got bills. Pay up.

So embarrassing. This is journalism, yeah? You see a successful local politician doing great things for his community, and there's no asking how he's doing it, no talking to Rahman. No... just implications that he's corrupt. Based on the result of a corrupt and racist case.

CPS won't prosecute someone when they have audio confessions admitting rape but will prosecute if you rob a bag of rice. We have to recognise that this is working exactly as it is intended. It's maintaining social order, a very specific social order, one of patriarchy and racism.

Yesterday, we presented the apothecary network. We've spent three months creating a prototype app that uses tech to share the knowledge needed to grow community apothecaries. It's been wild. I'm super proud to have created something (even in its early stages) that dreams big.

I saw #SoundOfTheUnderground @royalcourt last night and, for many reasons, I think it's probably the most radical bit of theatre I've ever seen which is amazing given the space. But not radical in that surface way of queer, trans, gender liberated peeps on stage in Sloane Square.

We keep seeing this and it's so disingenuous. Which Jews are they hanging out with because, me personally, I've been to these marches and *every* *single* *time* I've been alongside Jewish friends. Jewish people in my life are out there unafraid because they are among comrades.
