Absolutely. Letting the arts do the work that should be government funded while cutting grants to the arts including teaching the arts in schools and universities. Short sighted is an understatement.

Love selling stuff to women online. All messages come with a side order of kisses. And a babe, if you're lucky.

New monologue for male actors unlocked in this weeks ep of White Lotus.

The most recent study into PIP fraud found that it doesn't happen at all. There's actually a zero rating for fraud. Compare that to, say, serving as a cabinet minister.

Only 7% of students studying creative subjects at The University of Manchester are from working class backgrounds. SEVEN PER CENT. IN MANCHESTER. Manchester. The biggest exports of this city from music to sport to telly are working class Mancs and yet….

you don't want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie, a rebel.

The lovely @smalltruththeatre.bsky.social are now on Blue-sky! Give them a follow 💖

Just re-watched Schitts Creek for the third time, so might have to go back and start Love, for the fourth? 🤔

Just watched The End we start from... so these storms are like 👀

Every woman I know has a scary story about a man, from my mother, through my sisters, to my partner. That's not even counting my female friends. The stories aren't mine to tell, but they're there. And I've got news, guys. These aren't imaginary men, from a land far away. It's us.

He was karate-chopping the neck of a transgender ghost. Calm down everyone.

The next four years is just going to be a long series of people confidently telling you that you didn't just see what you just saw

Really sad 😔

The ceasefire is welcome. So welcome! Thank goodness. But there has to be accountability now. There has to be justice. No justice no peace. And all the people harmed deserve peace.

Men will literally be the devil incarnate and tell you your crystals and astrology are red flags.

Anyone else's life currently feel like you're just waiting for the next episode of Traitors?

Happy New Year! 💘 We will be back soon with more news. For now, here is a quote from one of our summer participants.

Mary Poppins, a beautiful story where a nanny and some parkouring chimney sweeps teach children, through the medium of witchcraft, about CLASS WAR.

NY vibes ✨️

Finally caught up with The Traitors. Who we backing? It would actually be such a disadvantage to have my sisters in there with me, if someone can really read you it's them. Hooked.

What to do in this weird period now that I've finished Squid Game?

Just seen Wicked and Shiz is like a queer Hogwarts innit. I bet JK is fuuuuuumin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good.

Merci Gisèle Pelicot !

I say this to all my male followers with love in the same way I do with my family and friends - have those uncomfortable conversations with the men in your life. Don’t allow the casual misogyny in conversations. Challenge abusive behaviour. Do the work. It’s on you. It always has been.
