For those of us who are clinically and incurably gullible April 1st is an absolute curse!!!!

Fancy joining me online for a drink and some queer chat about myths and legends? Delighted to be part of the Idler Festival this year, this is our kick-off! www.idler.co.uk/product/a-dr...

I am grateful for the wisdom of the trans people in my life who have guided my understanding. I am in awe of their courage and dignity in the face of cruelty. I am thankful for their friendship. #TransDayOfVisibility

On Trans Day of Visibility, our committee reflects on the day, and how this year it feels very different, in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling, among other very well documented attacks on our community. lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2026/03/31/r...

Every. Goddamn. Company.

Now have a dramatic scratch along my nose, looks like I've seen action, battle scars, real tough, should'a seen the other guy... How did you do it Sacha?! ... I cut my face whilst yawning because I have the hands of a desiccated warlock.

Since writing about myths and monsters I've been wrestling with the dark side of the stories I love: Whilst we joyfully reclaim our monsters... are the pitchforks being sharpened? Thanks to @bearlypolitics.co.uk for the space to write something on this. www.bearlypolitics.co.uk/p/queer-be-d...

As a gay man, this piece really resonated with me. Why have queer people so often been cast as monsters - and why is that language creeping back now? A brilliant guest piece by @sachacoward.bsky.social that I’m very proud to publish.

Nothing quite like cutting your nose and lip open with a callus on your palm to start the day feeling like some kind of feral monstrosity.

Since Queer Writers is trending, a reminder @sachacoward.bsky.social is a gem and Queer as Folklore is a great book 🙂‍↕️

I'm aware that I am in many ways immensely cringe... but you see, the person I'm most trying to impress is basically 7 year-old me. And 7 year-old me would think I was pretty cool!

Sneezed, headbutted the doorframe, scared the cat, tripped over the cat, headbutted the doorframe again.

Be gay... commune with demons.

When I came out to my parents, I was terrified. I stayed up all night and read the Prisoner Of Azkaban for comfort. My relationship with those books is more than nostalgia... You couldn't pay me to spend a single second of my finite life on supporting the franchise today.

Apparently today is #worldtheatreday. So here's two shots 30 years apart... me as a night watchmen in the Tailor Of Gloucester, and me doing improv yesterday!

Improv. It's been a bloody lifesaver this year! If you fancy seeing me and a few mates making fools of ourselves based on YOUR prompts in Gloucester then see you tomorrow evening?! www.ticketsource.com/gloucester-c...

Gay men couldn’t donate blood during the AIDS crisis. These lesbians stepped up & made history. - buff.ly/XTw2I9Z

At chili’s

As a counter I've just decided to refuse to acknowledge hot people online as real whatsoever. Anyone fitter than me is AI.

Christ, AI is going to create so much body dysmorphia...

Mmmm a delicious and important book. A delight to read and review. Thanks @manchesterup.bsky.social for sending me a copy. Congrats to Justin, Matt, Rebecca and E-J xxxx

Sometimes I look at my cat... and just think... how strange! This little woodland creature that we've decided to have live in our house. Now there is a little animal who just lives with us. How did this happen?

Around Gloucester on Saturday evening? Want to watch me and a few improv friends make fools of ourselves for your amusement???! www.ticketsource.com/gloucester-c...

Picked this up in the bfi shop. Queer As Folklore by @sachacoward.bsky.social. And a pencil sharpener for rpg night, as my pencils are all getting blunt.

I'm in trouble deep...

God there are so many things I'm rooting for to fail right now! Truly entering my hater era.

The instagram algorithm realises I'm a gay man, but it gets confused sometimes and starts showing me some extremely weird manosphere content. Because... you basically have a bunch of muscly men talking to other muscly men. And to be fair to the algorithm... I think it IS confusing!

I'm really excited by my new electric toothbrush years-old.

Well! This is going to be fun. See you there in May?! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-histor...

Podcast: Hey want to come on our show? Me: Sure, so sorry for the delayed reply (Insert personal details about loved one's poor health) *Reply all* Me: Why have I just received 700 out of office rep- oh Christ no...

I also went along to pay a visit to the brilliant @queerbritain.bsky.social. There was only one choice for a souvenir, I’m really excited to get stuck into Queer As Folklore by @sachacoward.bsky.social.

Really excited about my new tour of the British Museum!!! This time based around the 12 (cough... 13 actually...) star signs of the Zodiac. Hellish stories about heavenly bodies, weird objects and one overexcited historian to guide you! Tickets below: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/stars-in-t...

Honestly. I know this probably sounds like an incredibly overblown thing to say... but I think Improv has been the best discovery I've made in years!!!

About to have my spine tinkered with. Wish me luck.

You know how some books are just ohmnomnom?! Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is ohmnomnom.

just received my copy today ... looking forward to thumbing/reading it, i remember community centre on cowcross at, Islington great place & totally miss it 😭 ... @sachacoward.bsky.social great intro btw

Furious. I threw my back out at the gym... again... and it is entirely my own fault. I can't believe I did this to me. 😠

drink less water. clench your jaw. worsen your posture. this is the time of monsters

I made myself a t-shirt to remember the overachieving little neurodiverse gay boy who constantly got this on his school reports, was his english teacher's favourite, but now finds being an adult extremely hard...

I am such a slut for buying Bloomfies’ books. 📚😍 Welcome to the coffee table, @sachacoward.bsky.social #booksky

Hauntingly beautiful installation at the Hayward Gallery by Chiharu Shiota with my mum.

I hate that 'twink' has entered the heterosexual lexicon 😠

📢 Lost dad in aisle seven! Lost dad in aisle seven!

Roman patron: So this sculpture needs to represent him; Respectful and refined. Roman sculptor: Understood. Roman patron: His face needs to be clear and recognisable... Roman sculptor: Yup. Massive chesticles. Got it. Roman Patron: Wait wha-?!

If you go for lunch with me in Stroud... there is a more than 0% chance I will take you to the weird abandoned warehouse I found.

The issue with transphobia is, well, the transphobia. Obviously... But their biggest hurdle is how desperately uncool they all are! It's a cursed chalice; One sip, now you are pretending to hate live music and rubbing shoulders with the most off-putting people on the planet!

Doing a desert island disks style podcast tomorrow and I've had to pick 7 tracks that currently inspire/represent me. Preeeeetty gay preeeeetty eclectic!
