💜 10/10

I remember seeing the video for "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" and falling instantly in love. This one will always be my fav though youtu.be/gIgeh8PEQXI

Morning BlueSky, happy February. A nice rainy day for my first official 10k steps a day fundraiser for @braintumourrsch.bsky.social. Marv and I will be donning our waterproofs before setting out shortly. Link here if you're feeling generous. www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

Margot Robbie is wearing Mughal queen Nur Jahan's necklace. It was gifted by her husband King Jahangir (r. 1605-1627), Akbar's son. Cartier acquired it (harummmph). Cartier's president later gifted it to Liz Taylor..blah blah. Colonial loot around your neck. 'The obliterated shall be remembered'.

RIP Queen youtu.be/tOPifgthoTw

Just found out about this on Instagram (thanks @spacegirlgail.bsky.social) and am absolutely delighted! TTTW is my favourite love story of all time and I can't wait to be back in that world again.

Using a GIF or video give everybody a sneak peak at your flirting technique. (Could be Prince, Wendy or Monique depending on my mood) youtu.be/H9tEvfIsDyo?...

It’s 30 January – the anniversary of Gandhi’s murder – so let’s bust some fake Gandhi quotes. Very much a case of trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon. Ah well.

This week's In Strict Tempo is probably the strongest one I've done, music-wise. Listen & enjoy! www.instricttempo.com/p/in-strict-...

Aronofsky's creative output seems to have nose dived since he fumbled Rachel Weisz

Really looking forward to this. Everything about The Detectorists tells you it’s written by someone who loves people www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Third time watching Sinners and I’m still spotting things I missed… 😍 #LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched

🎶 we got a snow drift, Danny’s gift and plasma from the bloody lifts axed doors, maze tours and creepy twins you can’t ignore, red rum, scared mum, barman chum and you must say when he’s typing all the day it’s all work and never play play, play, play, play, play, play, play, play. 🎶

Never expected to hear a Coronation Street reference in a Marvel show but Wonder Man hath provided! Ben Kingsley going deeply meta with the career references 😍

I’m just finishing episode 2 and concur with my esteemed friend that Wonder Man is the best Marvel show I’ve watched in years.

Fantastic, pointed, and written with furious élan. She v good. open.substack.com/pub/grainnem...

This thread makes me think UX is one career pathway AI won't be able to compete with humans in

Look at the COLOURS in this new Boots Riley film. It’s so pretty! youtu.be/rnfTmSAnS3c?...

Robin writing brilliantly on that hazy period after cancer treatment finishes when you’re supposed to be “getting better” but things still feel very wonky. “Off the drugs, on that slow walk, but the feeling remains the same.”

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

Five phrases about the transitory nature of all things... 1. Nothing is eternal (Farsi) 2. No one’s candle is lit till dawn (Serbian) 3. No evil shall last a hundred years (Spanish) 4. All snowstorms eventually subside (Icelandic) 5. Everything has an end, except the sausage, which has two (German)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Commerce.

Honnold is an absolute machine but my god he STRESSES ME OUT.

In honour of its greatest son, Minneapolis should refer to ICE as "a big disease with a little name."

Just saw this on Instagram. Nice to remember what real leadership looks like.

Al Jazeera really does seem to be the most consistently accurate news source at the moment. Although I'd probably change 'shoot dead' to 'murder' www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Just watched Sinners for the third time and only just realised Sammy called his club Pearline’s. I notice something new every time I watch it 😍

What a lovely motor

Good play!

I wrote about the portrayal of yearning in recent queer TV shows and why it’s a good thing.

Everybody shut the fuck up and pay attention to the most important thing happening at this moment.

My local bookshop understands their audience.

All killer no filler. This track isn’t as popular as the big dancefloor hits but is one of my favs youtu.be/IoRQ5AqFwZY?...
