My first short film, 2017. I wanted to cinematically exalt femmes and gender nonconforming people in a world that so ferociously tries to diminish and erase. I wanted to share this bit of trans cinematic hope, this week of all weeks. @nowness.com www.nowness.com/series/defin...

Please help Alaa and his family survive what’s happening in Gaza - I am in contact with them and they have no more money for food, haven’t eaten in days and the situation is completely desperate - any donation goes a long way. Please 🙏🏽 www.gofundme.com/f/help-alaa-...

NORTH AMERICA - You can now rent / buy LAYLA to watch wherever you get your films. This is a queer Palestinian story about hope, love, joy and freedom, and as our beautiful star Bilal Hasna said - "it rallies against fatalism." I hope you it helps you feel something. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksw_...

Not Thames Water writing me that I owed an extra 3k this year because I'd "used the equivalent of 6000 baths of water in three months" because of a nonexistent leak, me then fighting for a meter reading, and them then being like "yeah OK you only owe £25 a month" xx capitalism xx

when people on Grindr say things like "just got home lol" it's like come on girly, did you really just laugh out loud x

A night I’ll never forget ♥️

Ok so I was wasted before giving this speech today but I didn’t realise I went in this hard lol

Layla shoulda been a contender! Hate to be that salty bitch but I do agree with Peter Bradshaw here, sorrrrrryyyy. Hope all BAFTA nominees have a beautiful night on Sunday though lol xx

99% of the reason I love Grindr threesomes is because you’re walking into the room knowing at least one human has already found each person you’re about to fuck attractive xx

What diversity panels have done to Glamrou:

Just bought something off a gift registry to celebrate a straight friend's upcoming baby. I really do think queers should be able to create gift registries for seemingly incredible milestones: "3 years in and he finally spent the night! Here's a wish list of Prada loafers," u no?

As Trump is re-inaugurated today, I’d like to use this opportunity to discuss one of his most devastating crimes.

Some thoughts on how my creative processes, and in particular embodying my mother in drag, has helped me make peace with people who disagree with me. Meant a lot for me to write this one ♥️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Next week, I am performing my most daring and personal solo drag show yet. It feels like I’ve been aching my whole life to do this one! It would mean the world if you were there. Truly ♥️ @sohotheatre.bsky.social 20th-25th January, 9.15pm sohotheatre.com/events/glamr...

I was DMing someone cute today and was like "you're gorgeous" and then they replied being like "you're gorgeous too - and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." And it's like, ERM - they haven't?! WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN HEARING OUT THERE?

I was lucky enough to work with The Vivienne a few times and she was always so kind, so talented - a true queen. What a tremendous loss. Deeply heartbroken and shocked by this. Sending all my love to her family 💔

January blues? Glamrou is coming back to @sohotheatre.bsky.social with her most personal drag show yet! And this time...it's ALL about my MOTHER. Expect live singing, live comedy and live delusion. Main space 20th-25th January :) sohotheatre.com/events/glamr...

I had accidentally made my profile name HET instead of HEY on Grindr, which explains why I’ve had a flurry of ravenous bottom twinks screaming DADDY at me for a week! It’s not because I’m officially old! Mama’s still got it ladies 🙏🏽😭🙏🏽

I've just been to see LAYLA, @glamrou.bsky.social's new film. I won't say too much so you can experience it for yourself, but I thought it was visually gorgeous and deeply insightful. I'll be thinking about it for a long time.

Looking for an uplifting Sunday evening film viewing? LAYLA is now available to rent at home in the UK! Every viewing of the film means the world to us :) film.curzon.com/film/layla/#...

One thing I love about the air purifier in my bedroom is that whenever I stand near it it automatically sets to the highest filter for poor air quality. It's really humbling.

LAYLA is a film about a very specific experience that answers a very universal question essential to the human condition: what happens when you place lubricant on a Pleaser heel. In this sense, it really is a story for the masses. WATCH AT HOME NOW. film.curzon.com/film/layla/#...

I think LAYLA is genuinely a radical queer film that can be watched happily with your parents - and it's available to rent now! Press WATCH AT HOME on this link and get it to your home :) film.curzon.com/film/layla/#...

Why thank you Peter Bradshaw! We’re tickled silly!!!

I remember being at a talk by a legendary black cinematographer who talked about how lecturers at NYU said his cinematography was "poor technically," and it was only later that he realised how his efforts to light black skin properly was what deemed his technical skills "poor."

One of the intense things about having the most conventionally cute dog in the world is that I now have an insight into how cis white guys get treated by British strangers. A lot of smiles and good faith, no fear. Fascinating.
