This is so true and so dangerous. Trump btw just defunded the NEA. Not the worst thing he’s done but imagine if these jokers get in and just blow up ACE? Something to think about.

Hello skies. Is that what we are now? I’m Katie, a recovering academic and Geordie in East Anglia. Trying still to write that refugees book but also doing arts engagement work, seal-watching and dabbling in (the dark?) arts. Formerly UEA. Formerly modernist. Practising feminist.💚
