porn star in the streets, pointless champion in the sheets expect a mixture of my usual nonsense (sw rights, eurovision-adjacent posting, theatre and film) but mostly me saying how much i love my cat very much not a professional account she/her

I really cannot tell you how much I regret not seeing this earlier. We ended up going on literally the last day of its run that we could and I just want to see it again already.

(Listening to the soundtrack all day now I can hear the whole thing is not helping this urge)

Just over 24 hours in and we're off to a good start (15% funded with 29 days left)! Getting the rest of the way there is going to be a battle and having people get excited about the anthology and hype it up makes it more likely we'll make it to fully funded.

The only non-human actor I need

Rosie @wordswithrosie.bsky.social · 9d

Because my body can’t deal with functioning normally for one whole ass day, I’ve injured my ribs as well. Doctor told me to ice them a few times a day. I have no ice on me, but I did just stock up on frozen fruit for my next cordial batch.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

Rosie sits on a train with a bag of frozen berries tucked under her arm against her ribcage. She gives a thumbs up and a very shady look to the camera.

I have to do a fair amount of fighting in the play I’m currently in.

It’s fun. But man, I’m so fucking bruised.

Becoming a parent is difficult for everyone, but especially when you're a sex worker with no access to parental leave pay who needs time to recover before selling more sex while post-partum.

Anyway I might need someone who speaks Italian as a first language to record me some things at some point given apparently “Italian accent but speaking English” is too much for a YouTube tutorial

I have decided to live my life as if VCM is going to read out fun facts about me on Only Connect one day.

So anyway that’s how I ended up getting roped into a Scooch “tribute act” last night.

I’ll be sat here being hyped for Hamnet and Sentimental Value instead

I really liked the director’s last film as well! But the vibe of this one does not appeal to me at all and I’m not convinced the lead actor has done much decent work for at least a decade.

…is it bad that I sometimes reread stuff I wrote for work and go, “I’m actually really good at my job”?
