“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

EVIL (the tv show) is absolutely wild. I'm on the season finale of S2 and like, imagine if the creators of THE GOOD WIFE decided to do AMERICAN HORROR STORY...but...hear me out...*good*. Because that's literally what this show is.

Here’s something that all of you in the UK can do that helps trans people and is good for you too. Not to mention preventing a massive waste of government money.

On the other hand, because he's out of town, this entire bag of cookies is mine. MUCH to consider.

Proof that @trip.bsky.social really should never leave me on my own for a week: the realisation I just had in the middle of an M&S that I'd forgotten to change out of my pyjamas shirt before going out. 🤦‍♂️

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep 1) Muppets, Jim Henson, his life, and many many specific Henson Co productions 2) Oz (the original 14 books, many screen/stage adaptations including the MGM film, Return to Oz, The Wiz, Wicked, L Frank Baum's life, etc) 3) Stephen Sondheim

Extremely unfair that my partner is out of town because I need someone to hold me now. 🥺

I literally walked by Jim's house in Hampstead this morning and sat on his memorial bench on Parliament Hill, having completely forgotten what day it was. Honestly feels like I have a spiritual connection to him sometimes. (I used to live 5 min away from here, also not planned.)

Never understand anyone who slags off London. Have you been here? It’s fucking amazing.

So many disappointed Sherie Rene Scott fans today.

Can’t explain it but of course they want to take away one of the only painkillers that’s safe for pregnancy, a condition that causes weird and unusual pains. these people WANT pregnancy to be a punishment and handicap. they want to control.

All of us getting raptured tomorrow

Kimmel should donate under no circumstances. I don't think he will but God I hope he doesn't. Sinclair channels should be bullied by losing all ABC content immediately. If they don't want some ABC content give them nothing at all.

Oh dear. Poor, deluded Evangelical people. That’s not the Rapture. That’s just the regular, annual wailing and ill humour because Ishtar is trapped in the underworld for six months again. She’ll be back in the spring, mark my words.

If you see this, post a concert pic you took Jake Shears at Village Underground in Shoreditch for his Last Man Dancing launch, 3 June '23, from the closest I've ever been to the stage for a gig. Possibly also my favourite photo I've ever taken?

3rd Rock from the Sun

This is the language we need: unacceptable. Not "impossible" or "unworkable" and definitely not "unlikely". Unacceptable.

I was on Indefinite Leave To Remain before I became a citizen. Did everything legally and have since paid taxes and Nat’l Insurance. Kind of like every other person who has ILR. This man would ruin your economy to get elected. Not his, tho, he’s rich.

Another all-time instant classic ep of this pod! One of my biggest annoyances is shallow, reductive readings of this film, esp wrt Ariel's feminism/Howard Ashman's influence as a queer creative, and Callum and Michael nail it with some of the best analysis I've seen of it anywhere. A must-listen.

What a lovely day to be living in the UK on a visa, a year away from (current) ILR qualification. 🫠🙃

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

Current Spooky Season watch is EVIL, the supernatural drama from the creators of THE GOOD WIFE, which I'm loving. It manages to be excellent character drama, a twisty mystery/mythos-driven SFF show in The X-Files vein, camp as Hell, and genuinely unsettling horror all once. OBSESSED.

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

I have 2 short stories out soon: 1 in Wrath Month @bonabooks.bsky.social & 1 in HAVOC Files 6 Candy Jar Books www.candy-jar.co.uk/books/lethbr... where you can find my Lethbridge-Stewart novels. The Disinformation War is still relevant & available: mitpress.mit.edu/978191338080... #AmWriting 💙📚🪐

Happy Little Shop of Horrors Day to all who celebrate*! 🪴 *all who celebrate it today, that is (it's the 21st for the stage show, the 23rd for the film)

Got a bag of Jelly Babies that only had a single one of my least favourite flavour (green) in the entire thing. I know it's gonna be a good day!

Spooky Season 2025 watches so far: Bates Motes The entire Psycho film franchise Alien: Earth (first half of S1, need to catch up) Alien: Covenant Alien: Romulus Haunted Hotel (new Netflix cartoon series) The Halloween Tree Snow White: A Tale of Terror Evil (first half of S1, still going) The Monkey

Michael C Hall. Absolute sweetheart. I ran a Six Feet Under site back in the day and went to see him in Chicago on Broadway, and he chatted with me at the stage door and was so warm and charming, I fell in love. When I started to walk away he asked me to come back so he could shake my hand. *swoon*

Well, if you say so.

if you’re seeing this, drop an old pic you still love x

FWIW: I have no doubt that Kristin Chenoweth is sincere in her advocacy for LGBTQ+ people and that her response to Kirk’s murder was emotional and well-intentioned, if perhaps under-informed. It was a regrettable response that she likely regrets, but she is not the enemy.

Black Sails. Tho it's actually better than any in that group too.

“I can’t believe how many Disney adults refuse to stop watching those silly movies!” “Don’t act like you’d be able to boycott Wicked For Good if NBC/Universal suspended Fallon. You’ve already got your outfit. Be for real.”

INCLUDING. BERNIE. SANDERS.

Boycotting Disney by continuing to not be able to afford any of their products or theme parks.

Can I just say that as someone who had to suffer thru a college roommate who wouldn't stop watching and quoting THE MAN SHOW constantly that the fact that I need to be on Jimmy Fucking Kimmel's side now is deeply homophobic and I hate this planet?

She's quoting Hitler *again*

Of all the technology we have that feels like genuine magic to me (because I don't know how it works), sometimes dehumidifiers impress me the most. Like, what do you mean your tray that was empty a few hours ago is now full of water you sucked out of the actual air? What is this sorcery?

Absolutely obsessed with the idea of giving Elphaba a song with that title, dramaturgically speaking. (1/4)

Her first public foray into public transphobia was getting caught liking a Medium post titled "Pronouns are Rohypnol" suggesting that using a trans person's pronouns was basically rape. That was 7 years ago.

Authoritarians Be Censoring @abc @jimmykimmel

Early last year I was feeling kind of wistful thinking I'd probably never be as excited for an upcoming film as I was for things like Lord of the Rings growing up, and now there's Wicked Pt 2, and I can legit say I've never anticipated a film more. And that alone feels great?
