Haiku of the day:
Blink, purposely miss
Turn every gaze away, but
Know you are to blame

Received a beautiful card from the formidable @danekaetchells and because I gave up on Christmas cards some time ago, here's a new year haiku for you instead D:
I am not all I have
And will learn from all that passed
Forever willing.

This feels like the start of a wave that is going to envelop the industry! Yes to more active commitments, yes to quotas, yes to disabled creatives getting the chance they deserve!
Any commissioners want to make my TV show, just let me know ✨✨✨

Blessed with a house full of joy and belly full of good food and drink but thinking of those for which 2020's been #Savage #darktimes
Love and light to all!

Grew up locally, never-the-wiser of the environmental microagressions I saw daily. Alighted the number 30 and 26 bus on Cassland road countless times... this is progress at least ✊🏾💚

To convey one’s mood
