This is the most terrible news. Gboyega is missing - please RT, especially if you're in the UK. I'm thinking so much of Gboyega and his family and friends at this desperately worrying time.
We haven’t seen or heard from Gboyega since late Friday night. Please reach out if you’ve heard from him or seen him

There’s so much in this interview/book/project at the heart of any radically creative critique of how we live: revaluing the supposedly peripheral and ephemeral; letting go of originality as a vanity; exploring repetition and thinking by doing. Great stuff from @rebeccamjohnson!
In her book “Small Fires,” the British academic Rebecca May Johnson explains why we need to “blow up the kitchen” — her phrase for the wholesale dismantling of the way we think about cooking. nyti.ms/43JOm0n

Attention! Do you write poetry? I'm looking for as many new & established queer voices as possible for a brilliant Queer YA anthology that I'm pulling together. Do get in touch if you have any poems (previously published or not) to share! Pls Retweet to help spread the word.
