Everything is terrifying but here is today’s terrifying thing
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I’m sorry, I’m an abolitionist, but people who put their bag on the seat next to them when the bus is full? Electric chair.

The BBFC have started doing these new, illustrated Black Cards for the start of films and - in the age of AI - I super appreciate them, and I need the one for Wicked: For Good (designed by an 11 year old called Maidah from Liverpool!) as a print, please

Reread Ursula K LeGuin's 'Carry Bag Theory of Fiction' this week and then realised all of the @onceuponavhs.bsky.social Season Finales have been named for some sort of bag. Makes you think, eh? Makes you think.

Niece is 7, animal stories kid, but also loves magic/fantasy - she's been big into K Pop Demon Hunters and Wicked this year, and also likes Sanrio-y anime stuff. She loves books but struggles with reading and writing, looking for books and graphic novels which might be easier reads, but not babyish.

Follow this one gay guy on Instagram who is 24/7 complaining, truly, there's not a single thing he won't chastise people for. I don't think we've ever interacted. I will never unfollow.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I’ve put my tree up, I’m watching The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and contemplating whether two people have ever been sexier than Dolly and Burt Reynolds on film - it’s fair to say it’s Christmas

Arranging to meet all my friends and loved ones over the next 7 days because I will be otherwise preoccupied with seeing Wicked: For Good for the rest of the year.

i visited the palestine museum in edinburgh for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social and spoke to founder faisal salah about showcasing the vibrancy + diversity of palestinian culture in the midst of genocide, witnessing via children's drawings, and the solidarity he has seen from the people of scotland
Scots have afforded a warm welcome to the newly opened Palestine Museum in Edinburgh, which showcases the joy, vibrancy, and unavoidable horror of Palestinian diaspora art.
