I’m writing a chapter for a book and it must be written in American English. I’m seething. Raging. Apropos of nothing

This is going to be a fabulous talk! Aimee is an incredible speaker and taks with such humanity and complexity on the topic

That moment THE Gayle Letherby writes this about my book: Patrycja Sosnowska-Buxton provides a beautifully crafted, ground-breaking, analysis of the myths, stereotypes, and very importantly, the lived experience of stepmothers/mothering.

My job is done :)

How do we tell stories about stepmothers? Too often, they’ve been cast as distant and wicked, but their realities are far more complex. As a stepmother myself, it was important that these outdated narrative are challenged. Order my book bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/reimagining-...

We all need this level of energy

How many legal parents can a child have? The Dutch are asking the question | Mark Smith In our rainbow family, there are two dads and a mum – but the law in the Netherlands only recognises two of us, says Amsterdam-based writer Mark Smith

Same here

So my book on stepmothers is in its final preparatory stages. The proofs are done. Gosh, this feels wonderful @brisunipress.bsky.social

How could I not? Our wonderful conversations have shaped my thinking and I wanted to say thank you
