Very excited to be appearing at Wembley Arena tomorrow night as part of Trans Mission. 100 per cent of the profits raised will be split between Not a Phase and the Good Law Project. www.transmissionlive.uk 🏳️‍⚧️

It's hard to believe that just 15 years ago, this was virtually empty space, with none of the native trees, epiphytic mosses, yellow flag, reed buntings, bullfinches, or other life now present, and increasing in diversity year on year. Rewilding is how we reverse nature loss in Ireland.

There are now three episodes out of this stunning Lovecraftian audio drama. Rich soundscape, some of the best performances I've heard in audio drama, original music and stunning writing. I'm absolutely hooked!Azathoth Blues share.google/oPooYUpZReMu...

Huge thanks to the team for having me out again, this time covering the inimitable @emilycarding.bsky.social as Dee in @thekeyofdreams.co.uk: Shadows Lengthen. Special thanks to one guest who was surprised an actor could play different roles — emergencies happen, that's what swings are for!

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

Season 2 Key of Dreams, visit complete. Another fantastic offering from those happy, talented folk at Lemon Difficult. Thanks to all involved from the cast and crew to our fellow investigators!

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Mad that it’s one billionaire scumbag who’s behind these massive-scale evictions in London AND the mass closure of London pubs AND beloved institution the Prince Charles Cinema being in dire straits AND the high street being clogged with cruddy candy shops. A one-man enshittification engine.

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says. The full story: lataco.com/protest-bagp... By Julianne Le

Timonopoly is a genuine joy. Newcomers to Shakespeare will find it easy and playful; veterans will be surprised by its insight. No one but master mage @emilycarding.bsky.social could pull this off!

Excited to be returning to York International Shakespeare Festival with Timonopoly in April! Welcome - York International Shakespeare Festival share.google/O2xmpfVuy2ry...

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Happy Black History Month! I'll be celebrating by watching "Sinners" again. And speaking of "Sinners", why not check out these Black vampire books by such talented authors (and editors) as @nicolegkurtz.bsky.social, @tananarivedue.bsky.social, @lmariewood.bsky.social, and @markusredmond.bsky.social

To be clear, we were thousands of regular folks at an entirely non-violent march that passed by the ICE building. They let loose chemical agents on families with little children. Elderly in wheelchairs. For no reason. The cruelty was the point. Attempting to provoke a riot was the point.

Who needs a few seconds of peace? Here's a burrowing owlet watching the sun go down with me. 🪶

Cultist hood, but make it cobweb! On my way to meet up with some of the cast and lovely friends to finally see @returntosilenthillmovie 🖤🖤🦋🦋🖤🖤

Great interview in @ruemorguemag.bsky.social with Christophe Gans about his career, including #ReturnToSilentHill which is out later this month (in which I play Dara) Plus a throwback to 2018 when they featured my face very large in their coverage of Ghost Stories. #movies #horror

It was a bit slippery in parts going up Glastonbury Tor today at sunrise. Once up there though it was such a beautiful morning. The view through the archway of St Michael's tower shortly before the sun rose.

To all those saying "but if our government spoke out, there might be consequences", please remember that not speaking out also has consequences. The history of appeasement is not a reassuring one.

Scenes from ‘The Key of Dreams’ where I was my most evil and extra self.

Photographer Oliver Facey continues to capture the most amazing images from shows...love this shot of me as Dee from chapter two of Key of Dreams 🖤🖤

Suddenly reminded of this interview (I edited the book version so I've read it more times than I can remember) where Emily Carding took their Richard III: A One Person Show to a festival in Romania and it turns out to be in Dracula's castle voidspacezine.com/voidspace-in...

Solstice blessings all! Not doing much today other than at some point making my way home, but here's the fireplace at Treowen so we can share a virtual hearth. Here's to snuggling down in the darkness and the imminent return of the light 🔥🖤🔥

But not me because...ah but no spoilers 😁🖤

I went to The Key of Dreams last week, a “luxury overnight immersive experience” combining immersive theatre, escape room puzzling, and role play. A quick thread on my thoughts - I’m not doing a full review since I’m in book writing mode - but overall I enjoyed it!

Ai has confidently told me that I have two cats named Bramble & Clover, I grew up on my grandmother's farm, I was a ballet dancer before I was a writer, and I've been married "many times". All it came from hallucinated sources; none of it is true. This is just one of the many reasons to resist Ai.

Did I mention I'm in this? Not long now!

We visited @bridgecommand.bsky.social! I received a commendation for my first mission as Captain, and I recieved the new rank of Lieutenant! Admire my stern face. Had a great time and we cannot wait to return soon!

Emerging from a magical run of Key of Dreams into the ever-unfolding horrors of the real world. Much love to all affected. And Rob and Michelle Reiner. What absolutely heartbreaking news.

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.
