Do come along - so much to see and do, and I'll be giving two talks, one on prominent women of Mercia, and one on Aethelflaed herself:
⚔️Saxons are set to take over the Castle Grounds on 10 & 11 June with a packed weekend of free Saxon-themed activities for all ages to enjoy.

The official launch of Aethelfest 2023 commences on Friday 9 June inside the castle, with a ticketed event

Lots being said about the lack of older women's roles written by older #women so if anyone would like to show support for this woman's work please do.
And I'm a woman alone so a retweet would be sweet!
Thank you 🙏🙏🤞 xx

#Menopause can be a struggle. Imagine going through it whilst you're the mother the #Midlands

Well …….look what arrived in the post! Completely updated and FIVE new chapters. Such fun to write about Penda and Abbot Hadrian, Æthelflæd, Wynflæd and Queen Eadgyth - EM women, and the most important African in our history imo.

everyone who RTs this is a hero/ine
i'm a practicing writer. i live in this world; i rely on ppl in it for work. i'm terrified every time i say something that might annoy them
i'm still going to say it:
without thorough justification, age-limits on arts opportunities are wrong
it's sad to see great first books by great authors on an age-exclusive longlist.
please RT to ask @dylanthomprize to turn things around and abolish their under-39 age limit next year.

Hello!
We're looking to put together a list of spaces in The West Midlands (particularly Birmingham) that are interested in supporting and platforming disabled performers. It would be especially great to hear from small and grassroots venues.
Please do share and get in touch ☺️

The last taboo of women’s representation onscreen is gendered ageism. To be truly intersectional is to understand that this issue, which is widely known in the U.K. entertainment industry, finds only shut doors. #DontCastHerOut #ActingYourAgeCampaign

What do you call that thing you hang clothes on to dry? I know a lot of people call it a "clothes horse" but I was brought up calling it a "maiden".
Either way, I had to take my work uniform off one this morning before it had worked its magic and now I smell like wet dog.

I've written an open letter to @WomensPrize and @goodhousemag, asking them to remove the age limit on their new prize for women writers under 35.
This is a real opportunity for thoughtful & positive change.
Please read, RT, and sign the letter here:
