My firstborn is being reborn (now with a UK home!) I still have great affection for this strange, creepy little book about trees and mountains and mystical visions. Out in paperback this June @sevenstoriesuk.bsky.social & @twodollarradio.bsky.social Order a copy: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/at-t...

I enjoyed interviewing artist Sienna Murdoch (no relation to the media dynasty) about her fantastical jelly-like creations, experimental biomaterials, and cooking for Daniel Day-Lewis. In last week's @theobserveruk.bsky.social Magazine observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

A few weeks ago I spoke to artist Issy Wood about her beautiful paintings on black velvet, robot camel jockeys in Qatar, and why her friendship with Lena Dunham didn't last observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

Loved speaking to the very talented Mawaan Rizwan for @theobserveruk.bsky.social about his RSC debut, the importance of funding the arts, and fighting fascism observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

I first watched Northern Exposure this summer and immediately fell in love with its quirky 90s charms. Really enjoyed speaking to its leads Rob Morrow and Janine Turner about what made it so special Online here and in print in tomorrow's Saturday Guardian: www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Huge congratulations to Zohran Mamdani on his election as Mayor of New York City from all of us at the Green Party! 🎉💚

This was a painful piece to write. I love horror, but it doesn’t always love me back. I wish I didn’t have to write this, but it keeps happening, often from people who should know better Tl;dr: we need more disabled writers/directors so we can tell our own stories 🙏 Please share

Hello. After 11 years @theguardian.com & @theobserveruk.bsky.social I am now freelance and available for commissions. I do features, profiles, interviews, reviews, comment pieces, editing and more Here are 10 pieces I'm proud of:

I interviewed the owner and the architect behind the renovation of this mad, beautiful house on a rock overlooking the Atlantic ocean observer.co.uk/style/interi...

‘It’s outrageous,’ says mother of UK Israel protest accused as he faces 21 months in jail before trial www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Thank you Kate Nash for speaking to me about terfs, trolling and trans rights for @theguardian.com ✊🏳️‍⚧️✨ www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

For my final piece as a Guardian employee, I'm going out with dignity (wrote about boobs) www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Labour's new policy - of humiliating trans people by requiring them constantly to self-identify - we believe puts the UK (again) in breach of its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and will seek a declaration of incompatability. goodlaw.social/0r6l

Wrote about that terrible OpenAI short story. Seeing serious writers enthuse about it makes me want to cry www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you don't normally post or write about disability rights because you don't feel like you know enough about the subject, or it's not your fight to fight, or it's not a sexy enough topic... now would be a pretty good time to start

“We’re losing decades of our life to this illness.” An important read by @kathryn42.bsky.social on Long Covid: 5 Years On. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Really proud of this piece. Grateful to Avalyn, Rowan and Sarah for sharing their stories. It's a national scandal that long Covid patients have been forgotten by the government, employers & society at large. The least we can do is keep talking about them www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
