Happy Bisexual Visibility Day! If you're bi and in Coventry, UK, a new bi social group meets for the first time tonight. Message me for info.

Want to see Sorry, Baby at the cinema on Monday... but my teen will be here too. Can't tell if it will be her cup of tea.

Day 2. Same morning walk as yesterday, but the tracker gave a different length! Plus a walk into town centre (a mile), which I forgot to log... today's total 2.88km. Any donations gratefully appreciated. fundraise.royalmarsden.org/fundraisers/...

The start of my 50km in September challenge for @royalmarsden.org. Any donations gratefully appreciated. fundraise.royalmarsden.org/fundraisers/...

What a great list! And found three to add to my watch list in the honourable mentions.

Just saw #Together: great film, great advertisement for staying single. share.google/AkgAAbo7q4Oa...

This is absolutely remarkable. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The survey reached 30,000 responses while I was sleeping! Do you have friends who by their mere existence throw the M/F binary into a blender? If so, please share this with them: survey.gendercensus.com Takes most people 5-6 minutes. Open until 30th August! #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #gender

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Bollocks to headaches.

#100 #100DaysofHorror #NowWatching The Wicker Tree (Robin Hardy, UK, 2011). Had to see it, even though I know I'll regret it. www.imdb.com/title/tt0323...

#nowWatching The Shrouds (David Cronenberg, Canada, 2024) www.imdb.com/title/tt2021...

There's one particular note in "There Must be an Angel" that brings me close to tears. Why is that? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Less than two episodes in, and Teacup is the strongest horror I've seen on TV in years.

My memory is a mess lately. Sometimes I forget I've set a bath to run, and now I've forgotten the name of the scary scary film with a brother and sister and carrots and sheep. Just remembered: The Dark and the Wicked.

Changed the badges on my jacket; a mix of old and new.

Happy Mother's Day, all. readysteadycut.com/2019/03/31/m...

Watched Anora last night, and I think Baker is now my favourite living English speaking director. (Sorry, B Cronenberg.) Loved the other films of his I've seen, immediately; but this one really seals it, especially the ending.

Dream Scenario (Kristoffer Borgli, USA/Canada, 2023) didn't come to my local cinema, so happy to find it's now on #AmazonPrime!

What an outstanding piece of writing: "For years, she had felt like she wasn't in control of anything, and that's what she wanted to get back." www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

#NowWatching Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (Park Chan-wook, South Korea, 2002) www.imdb.com/title/tt0310...

Highly recommended! This was amazing at the cinema (and the soundtrack to one of the fight scenes is in my workout playlist). www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/a...

Frontier(s) is on Amazon Prime and I can't work out whether I should watch it or not... can anyone please advise?

My biggest achievement this year has been tidying my DVD shelves.

#NowWatching Tales from the Crypt (Freddie Francis, UK, 1972). www.imdb.com/title/tt0069...

With my jaded perspective, I can see now that Home Alone is pretty much Inside, but with less blood. #HorrorIsEverywhere

One more night for @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social films, then it's on to Christmas fare, alternating old favourites with first watches. Kid wants to see Hardware again, and I think I'm ready to rewatch L'Interieur.

Play this with video on, and then track down the film. It was amazing on the big screen. open.spotify.com/track/6p7clA...

#NowWatching Someone Dies! (Justin Petty, USA, 2024), thanks to @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social www.imdb.com/title/tt1485...

Feeling very stressed about the week ahead. Time for more horror films.

#NowWatching A Most Atrocious Thing (Ben Oliphint and Christian Hurley, USA, 2024), thanks to @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social (I'll get back to the serious films later.) www.imdb.com/title/tt1524...

#NowWatching The Snowtown Murders (Justin Kurzel, Australia, 2011). I mean, my kid's gone back to her Dad's, so I can put on what I want... www.imdb.com/title/tt1680...

Tough day ahead tomorrow, so it was particularly good to fill this evening with laughter. Kid wanted to play Exploding Kittens, to put their new strategy to the test. After a while, I asked when the strategy was doing to start... "well it starts with you not taking my Defuse card!"

Actually upset to have been unable to afford Nick Cave this tour. But also happy Wetherspoons staff thought I had walked into the wrong loo yesterday.

Another job application done. That's 83 in the last four months.

Fascinating. Now add autism into the mix... www.esquire.com/news-politic...
