The last of the supplies to make more Lestat bondage necklaces arrived so I am a jewellery factory today… I’ll be listing them on Etsy once I do the promo photos and sort out shipping profiles, etc, but since I’m hand making them there’ll only be limited quantities! #tvl #iwtv

Holy (big) smoke! I remember the days when running was considered a bit niche and people thought I was odd www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

The reality, however hard it is for the media to accept, is that illegal immigration in the U.K. is not a problem.

Just in time for the new season of INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, AMC+ is doing 70% off a full year subscription. It includes Shudder, and Sundance for only 29.99 for the whole year 🥹

Job hunting in a hostile environment. ✨

When a company spams genAI it's a *very* clear sign of low quality, complete apathy toward others, and cheapness. When a person spams that shit, it is a sign they're in a mental health crisis.

Today I got my first tattoo, something I’ve wanted specifically for 3-4 years but didn’t think I’d be well enough to do. Finding an artist with a solo studio, happy to wear a mask and take on an immunocompromised client was such a relief, and I actually found it really relaxing? Not painful at all.

These changes all apply retroactively to people who have planned their lives under the current system. They also tighten up the eligibility in other ways as well, including rules around income which are pretty punitive. The rules for former asylum seekers are worse still

It’s difficult to do so exactly because they’re not finalised yet. But basically for all immigrants currently here on visas, they’re changing eligibility for ILR for 5 (for most) or 10 years to a sliding scale with a baseline of 10 years, bit for which the majority will have to wait 15.

Really hit me last night that the Home Office plan to deport my girlfriend in 6 months time by retroactively changing the rules she’s painstakingly followed for over 9 years. I’m carrying a lot of pain and heartbreak over that.

An incredible read, and one that resonated with me in so many ways, but particularly: “I disassociated to liberate myself from the situation.” 🎯

1300 miles 2100 kilometres 39 days 7 countries 32 towns/cities 1 new bike wheel An uncountable number of sugar waffles & steins of beer I cycled to Budapest!

Ohhhh here’s a question - do we think Satan’s Night Out will play with Lestat in NYC (ie will Noah Reid, Sarah Swire, etc be on stage playing) or will it be session musicians, or just a backing track?? 👀 #tvl #thevampirelestat

Cries in immunocompromised and unemployed 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

They need to change “swears like a sailor” to “swears like a seamstress.” I could swear any sailor under the table.

Ok, “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” is one of the most fucked up films I’ve ever seen and I need everyone to watch it asap. The closest thing I can compare it to is “Sorry to Bother You” (HIGH PRAISE INDEED) and it’s obvious they had no idea how to market this film. It’s incredible?!

It's honestly wild that pedestrians - people mostly travelling entirely under their own steam - are almost always expected to travel significantly out of their way to accommodate the caprices of people using machines the whole purpose of which is to make it trivially easy to travel further.

That’s the sound of all of my anxiety leaving my body in a WHOOSH as the booster enters it without even having to show my eligibility printoffs, let alone argue for 20min in tears like the last one. I’m never going back to that other pharmacy again!

@melissafehrtrade.bsky.social Just finished my first pair of your running tights 😍 they are amazing. I left off mesh pocket (no mesh to hand) but did the back pocket. Really well fitting. #tenacityleggings

🚨 actually important 🚨 sertraline 100mg being recalled - please check your meds www.gov.uk/government/n...

Comedy answer: it's because they gave Gabriella an awful italian accent like "itza meee, Mario!" 🙃 #tvl

Thoughts and prayers for hayfever sufferers in London today, it is BRUTAL out there. In Hyde Park the chestnut pollen was so thick it actually looked like it was snowing, and settling in drifts in the gutters. Kept getting caught in my throat. 😩

On FehrTrade: a quick merino jersey top I sewed in an afternoon using our Versatili-Tee pattern! It looks like a regular teeshirt from the front, but it's got a cycling secret in the back, thanks to the unique wraparound design (no side seams!). blog.fehrtrade.com/gallery/1079... #sewing

Have you ever noticed that the massive, coordinated, multi-year assault on trans rights is based on NOTHING WHATSOEVER

Aaahhh! This is their trick or treating outfits! When I brightened up the shadows I can see the check on Louis’s coat and Lestat’s got the big cape/hooded thing on. #tvlspoilers #tvl

The Daal Parlour. Like an ice-cream parlour but with different lentil preparations that you can point at and it will get poured on to a heap of steamed rice with yoghurt on the side. You can mix and match just like ice-cream scoops. I already have 8 candidates for the dishes.

Now this is how you sell a laminator

Imagine running a world record breaking time in your DEBUT marathon and still not winning the race. 😭 #londonmarathon

A transcription of the trick-or-treating/band scene as best as I could make out, you're welcome! #TVL

This morning’s intrusive thought: By the time they get around to having Viktor in the show, they could just re-use the Babystat actor. 😭 #tvl #thevampirelestat

Started Interview With The Vampire (AMC) again from the beginning in an attempt to catch up and this show goes so fucking insane. The uncut black tar nuclear diesel CUNT that Sam Reid is serving needs to be bottled and made into a tincture to give to ailing divas

Do you know how much of a devil you have to be to threaten Parkrun, one of the most socially progressive, inclusive, beneficial and fucking good vibes organisations we have, with legal action? Demonic! Utterly satanic.

You can officially stream The Vampire Lestat's cover version of Billy Idol's "Dancing with Myself”

The fact that John Waters is, at 80, still vital and funny and just as forward-thinking as ever and no one will give him money to make a movie is proof this world is broken.

This is pure crack but last night my brain wouldn’t let go of the idea that the Guigonettes hooked up and moved to Quebec after the TdV burned down and the two Montreal bookstore clerks are actually their great-grandchildren. 🙃 #iwtv #tvl

No Music For Genocide, the campaign that has seen hundreds of artists geo-block their music from streaming platforms in Israel, has now turned its attention to the Eurovision Song Contest, with a number of artists calling for a boycott buff.ly/hmeiLMG

I LOVE IT, I would have its babies 🤩🤩🤩 It is a cacophony and messy and that is a CHOICE, the PERFECT choice for Lestat. Daniel, Sam and Rolin understand him; his music was never going to be neat and broadly palatable because he is an insane maximalist diva having a nervous breakdown. Beautiful.

We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act! Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!

Last evening my hyperfixation on the new Vampire Lestat trailer manifested as an explosion of gifmaking (I might post them here when I can manage Alt Text writing). Today it’s apparently manifesting as vectorising all the different typography examples in the official videos so far. 🙃 #tvl

Here’s an extremely “book-accurate” lestat if you’re paying attention to that. He says “I am immortal” with this deep pain of realization on his face. This is a different immortality. Far beyond the immortality of a vampire. And it is a terrifying, heartbreaking truth for him.

It's time to set the record straight. #TheVampireLestat debuts June 7 on AMC and AMC+. youtu.be/7c7JFMTBeVk

In 2027, London will host a world-first showpiece team time trial for the Tour de France Femmes. It’s a major milestone for women’s sport and an incredible new chapter for cycling in the city 🚴‍♀️

At this point the only reason to call it the Labour Party is it lasts too long, hurts like hell, and people keep popping in and out to check on your genitals.

I’m dressed and ready, 5+ hours early… (I’m guessing it’ll drop Europe evening time since that’s when AMC is most active) #TheVampireLestat

oh my god, @why.bsky.team just blocked 300,000 people for being anti-AI. including me. holy shit how does this guy still have a job

The Mirror (a bona fide rag if ever there was one) has been consistently (and uniquely) spot on in regards to post-COVID disability. I wish I knew which editor is responsible for it, so I could thank them.

Most people online talking about masks are disabled/chronically ill. The reason you dont see them out is because they were excised from public life when mask mandates dropped. Theyre either too sick or its not safe for them in public spaces anymore. (And LongCovid is disabling more people every day)

I saw a headline which alarmingly noted: “Urgent warning of long Covid symptoms as number of cases rise in UK,” but here, across the pond, things are quite different, yes, here we know that the way to avoid a rising number of cases is to just stop counting them.

F*ck around and find out. See you tomorrow, Beautiful Unwell. #TheVampireLestat

Nishi is looking especially beautiful today. Our senior citizen turns 14 next month but still retains her kitten softness. 🥹 #blackcats #catsky
