Thank you for all your suggestions/ some proper bangers in there and deffo a list I will keep for future reference!

Ok, I’m writing a video essay on authoritarian horror and its bleak AF so send me some of your most cheerful film recommendations to help me recover when this is done! 🥰

Im so excited to have my first video essay appear on this @arrowvideo.bsky.social release of Jennifer Reeder’s excellent identity horror PERPETRATOR. With thanks to @mikehewitt.bsky.social for bringing me on board. And, if you enjoy it, watch this space- more to come soon!

Cannes Film Festival once more at the cutting edge of policing what women may wear. Lessons went unlearned during the mandatory heels mandate I see… www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/fa...

Part two in the series, animals who look like Ray Winstone in Sexy Beast…

My cat, doing her best impression of Ray Winstone in SEXY BEAST.

Is this how we get Jurassic park?

It was real. It was really real.

Ok so I’m going to Port Meirion to stay with my friend who is performing at The Prisoner weekend and my brain can’t comprehend it’s a real place in going to.

Imagine if we could impeach *rump and make that Pedro Pascal AirPod commercial President instead…

Why does this have ‘telling the teacher the answers are in the back of the book’ energy? Let us capitalise on capitalism without spilling the beans, bro! Bosses who were happy with productivity gonna start demanding oversight and kill the game!

Not all billionaires… just the richest ones. The world must stop idolising them & admit that their money is stolen from the poorest & most vulnerable people. It’s robbed from our shared Mother Earth and hoarded by trolls. This kind of wealth is not possible without inhuman levels of selfishness.

I have been informed these frogs were most likely mating so… yeah. Deffo more frogs to come! And also sorry about the NSFW frog pics 😅

Speaking to a philosopher friend about some regrets I had over a shoot from last year. “I just wish I had a chance to go back and do it over.” I’m going to hold his reply with me for a while, so I wanted to share it…

Guys! Guys. I don’t want to get anyone too alarmed but there are TWO FROGS this morning. At this rate it will take about a month before there are more frogs than people on the planet. I for one welcome our frog overlords.

Guys I know the world is on fire but the tiny frogs are back in my tiny pond so there’s that at least.

Having my coffee and morning read outside with this little angel. He doubles as an excellent hot water bottle in a pinch!

Guys I played a Alpha model of the spooky puzzle AR game I’m developing and it kind of slaps. I really can’t wait to share this with testers 😬 not long now!

Dear American friends, some helpful & free advice 🤔- If you're horrified by your current regime & desperately seek to change it, manifest resistance in your daily lives. Don't comply. Follow your own informed advice, but stay engaged as well. Authoritarians desperately want you to tune out.

I was a founding trustee of the Vagina Museum back when a physical venue was still a dream ❤️ They’ve come so far & faced so many challenges along the way - can you help them weather the latest storm? If you don’t have the ££, please still share far & wide 👇🏼

I just signed a petition demanding the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Ban X/Twitter in Canada. Join me in signing here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba... you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba...

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors. Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts. Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

They said it would never happen. Hundreds of Beavers hits $1,000,000 in worldwide Box Office. Long live indie cinema! $150,000 budget and a dream. And thank you to the fans who got us here.

Thinking about clearing some of that digital footprint? There are services out there that can help you consistently scrape the internet and remove your info. themarkup.org/gentle-janua...

Honestly, being friends with comedians and storytellers is an absolute treasure when you need cheering up.

Thank you for the great chat, Amber! And major shout out to Greg and the team at Cultplex- indie cinemas are alive and a 100x more joyous than the 8k 5D 48fps super sized popcorn tombs of the chain cinema.

John Cusack was already pretty right on, but this cinches it. Truly the best cis white male advocate on the internet.

Jennifer Connolly won once but that’s the closest for another actor I can figure?

I realise this might be mega cringe, but I taught at a film uni for seven years and I love seeing pictures of my students all grown up (or even more grown up!) and getting married and making films and showing their kids about films and just being happy. Especially the proper weirdos. It’s lovely. 💛

If you have accessibility needs that limit your ability to participate in the boycott, try making your purchases today or Saturday so you can avoid making them on the Friday. I’m having to do that in one instance myself! Do the doable. Perfection isn’t necessary to send a message.

There is a US goods boycott tomorrow (Feb 28) and I encourage everyone to participate in it that can! Participation Looks Like: - Buying from a small independent US vendor - Buying from a non-US vendor - Saving your purchases for another day Good luck!

This Sunday I’m hosting a post-THE BORDERLANDS Q&A with @jhandorf.bsky.social at @cpxmcr.bsky.social ‘s CURSE Folk Horror Festival - be there or be [REDACTED] ⛪️ 🙏

Excellent advice on filling in a #Government consultation that seems prejudged from the start. Today is the last day to give your views on whether it's OK for AI companies to steal creators' work. The answer is "obtain permission and pay for use BEFORE scraping."

This is so important- you have until midnight to be heard! ipoconsultations.citizenspace.com/ipo/consulta...

Here’s a niche question- any sensory friendly meetup places in SoHo? Low light, not too loud, soft seats? The Curzon SoHo bar comes to mind but I’d love a longer list as it’s not always available…

For those following along, I have secured scritches with three amazing dogs in Berlin so far. Mimi, pictured below, was also liberal with kisses.

My dad's got another batch of his weird woodcarvings available in his shop tomorrow. I'm contractually obliged to let you know... 👁️ wellswoodcarving.bigcartel.com

Simply depicting the female experience isn’t enough to make a film feminist. Apparently this is the hill I’m dying on.

Tips for Autistics to shake phone anxiety & call reps: 1) Body double, live or virtual. Have a friend call! 2) Have a written script! it's ok to sound like you're reading directly from it. You don't need to mask, but you DO need to be clear 3) Have 1-3 SPECIFIC issues to address. Ex: DOE & RFK!

I’ve just seen the musical adaptation of Percy Jackson and it really made me think. Is the world ready for The Borderlands: The Musical? It’s not the found footage adaptation we want, but maybe it’s the found footage adaptation we need…

Also, I don’t quite know what this platform is yet, so thanks to all the film, equal rights, and neurospicy people for hanging about. I’m just head throwing my thoughts at the wall and seeing what sticks for now.

Ok... you were all so helpful yesterday with my autism struggle, maybe you can help with this one... When a person invites you to have a social drink after work on a weeknight, how long is that expected to last? I feel like there might be bonus difficulty on this one...
