People get that jokes abuot gaslighting aren't actually funny, right? They're basically jokes about domestic abuse

May have just described Michael Almereyda's arthouse vampire movie Nadja as being like Rose Troche's Go Fish, but with fewer lesbians and more vampires

One regular day of Spurs. That's all I ask for. Will never happen

He's gone!

Oh Spurs

I see no option but to bar all peers from all public bathrooms

Knowing that 7" singles are largely worthless secondhand so aren't worth including in the haul to be taken to a secondhand record shop, but also knowing the middle-aged awkward guitar band dads love Ligament and Joeyfat (but also that single is on discogs for only £3, if it ever even sells on there)

Age verification. The email receipt showing the price of my moisturiser

Musk's system that "allows anyone to travel to Moon" is going to be indentured servitude, isn't it

Kier Starmer; the Thomas Frank of politics

My favourite bit of The Chonology Of Water was when Kim Gordon's name appeared in the credits at the end, confirming that I had been correct in thinking "she looks a LOT like Kim Gordon" when she appeared in the film

Jewellery retailers wait for the redness of your model's ears to go down before taking photos/shooting video for use in your adverts challenge

Checking through all the 7"s on the shelf and finding those by old pastoral post rock bands that you have as they were released by the label that was also releasing your friends' bands and realising that you'd happily listen to an album by them but would probably never put a 7" by them on again

Happy finally getting to see The Chronology Of Water day to everyone who has been waiting at least nine months to see this movie* * queer women who adore Kristen Stewart

BRB, going to record a version of I Think We're Alone Now as a lesbian anthem

Introduce yourself with 5 songs Sonic Youth - The Diamond Sea Gowns - Marked Tanya Tucker - Delta Dawn the Modern Lovers - Hospital Ornette Coleman - Lonely Woman

Just received the letter telling me that I'm going to receive a screening kit in two weeks time (the kit that I received yesterday, without any advance notice that this was even a thing)

Oh Spurs

Let's call that cutting things about as fine as is possible for getting home in time for #BeyondFriday

So apparently if you're 50 or over you get added to an NHS bowel cancer screening programme. That's really not the sort of perk I was hoping would come with age, and some sort of warning before I opened the package that arrived in the post, thining "what are the NHS sending me?" would have been nice

Doctors surgery have pivoted to the "we'll call you sometime in this five and a half hour window" model for phone appointments, so I guess I'm not going to get anything useful done this today unless they happen to call in the earlier part of the afternoon

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

When you forget 1) people work in marketing, and 2) don't have the same instinctive recoil to the way that marketers talk about culture, don't mistrust events about culture put on by marketers, and a low ticket price, implying heavy sponsorship and/or targeted advertising, isn't offputting to them

TONIGHT. We shall eat good for #BeyondFriday with John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13. I will send out the link at 9pm. Trailers as usual from 10:45pm and film at 11pm. Go tell all your friends and enemies.

Just how far from grace does Record Store Day have to have fallen for this year's releases to include a reissue of the first Gay Dad album

Any bronzer recommendations, that aren't a powder (pressed or otherwise)? Something liquid or creamy? The other catch is it needs to be available in light shades as I have the complexion of a ghost with a vitamin deficiency that didn't go out in the sun while it was alive, let alone since it died

Not a top tier favourite (though still a great song) but the first to come to mind is whiteliberalonwhiteliberalaction by mclusky, not least because the title, with that casing and no spaces, always felt like a dig at the Manics and ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfallapart

A gem lurking in the depths of the shelf of 7"s, some Flying Saucer Attacky shoegaze from Metrotone's KIss Me Awake youtu.be/cjq67Z7FOiA?...

Season 2 episode 1 of Carnivale just suddenly lurches into a Twin Peaksiness not present in season 1. Opens with Michael J Anderson, in close up, speaking direct to camera, telling us of past events, in an otherwise completely black shot, over ominous rumbling background noise

Hormones are magic, insane transition timeline.

He-man is an egg and i wish her the best

Secured my gluten-free Colin the Caterpillar cake quarry

Have reached the checking through my 7"s stage of trimming my record collection. Was hoping to just be able to pull out some of them for a listen but then put something on for a listen that I expected to be a keeper and a pretty major "oh god no" reaction, so having to listen to, like, 75% of them

Happy transfer window deadline day to all who celebrate *side eyes at Johan Lange*

That shoud, it seems, have been SlashlOrette Party, not SlashlErette Party bsky.app/profile/hidd...

Unexpected lesbians

Watching Slasherette Party (from the makers of Murdercise) and this really needs a room full of people booing everything the main dude says and does

You do not want to see how cats worth of hair I just extracted from the rug in my room. Let's just say it it's a lot Worse thing is, I don't have a cat (or pet of other definition). This is all me, baby (and also fibres from the rug; I'm not actually a monster)

Let's at least consider that own goal to be some comeuppance for the (likely) homophobe

Oh Spurs

Best new to me films in January: Peter Hujar's Day (Ira Sachs, 2025) See You Soon (Alexandra Swarens, 2025) Murdercise (Paul Ragsdale & Angelica De Alba, 2023) Die My Love (Lynne Ramsay, 2025) Priscilla (Sofia Coppola, 2023)

Welcome to part of why senior executives at large companies think AI can, and should, write emails for you

While some of this is conjecture, or at least extrapolates into conjecture, it's worth a read in regards to the continuing insidiousness of Sex Matters, and how wide their influence may spread across UK institutions

Found him. South of the border, at this time of night?

Time for some RoboCop, and everyone's acting like the only issue with the ED-209 demonstration failure was that it didn't hear the gun be dropped, totally ignoring that someone decided having it armed with live ammunition for a demo was a good idea

Bear in mind that, as horrible and unacceptable as those stats on the numbers of death by suicide of trans kids are, that's just the kids who were known to be trans. The numbers are never going to show any kids who were trans but hadn't yet acknowledged it to themselves or not yet told anyone

If anyone were wondering if lesbians still can't be normal when finding someone attractive, I just found myself in a checking each other out from opposite sides of the street while waiting for the lights to change situation, and when we made eye contact while crossing the road, neither of us smiled

About to throw out one of the oldest things I own (it's cracked; think I stood on it while it was on the floor about to be used to hang up a top to dry) From an LA Rams shirt I had as a kid. Rams as I liked the shirt colours and design, and I already had a Dolphins (who I actually supported) shirt

Won't mention the name of the film to avoid spoilers (though it's 50+ years old) but I saw a screening recently where the a group of mostly elderly satan worshippers were responsible for everything evil in a town, and one of the audience review cards said something like "it's always the boomers, eh"
