So I’m lingering in the in-between, where many questions exist, and the answers are heavy with lived experience. At this year’s BAFTAs, as Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo stood on stage, the N-word was shouted from the audience. It was later confirmed that the outburst came from Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson, whose condition

I feel like I ran into a wall, but in slow motion. You know the kind of crash you have in dreams - inevitable, muted, disorienting. Creative blocks are real, but for those of us with day jobs, it’s a different kind of story. Your brain is in mild shambles, but when the clock hits 9, you’d better get your act together. No one gives a hoot that you have exciting ideas, half-formed thoughts, content waiting patiently in drafts that you can’t quite bring yourself to post. You sti
