In the age of streaming, I've got a whole load of dvds sitting neglected on the shelf. This year, I'm going to rewatch them all (in roughly alphabetical order, depending on whether I put them back right last time). Reviews to follow...

When everything feels important, clarity is hard to find

Check out my latest Substack on how Helen Mirren's awards acceptance speech can help you figure out what matters most

The crazy thing is, when I think about doing something 'out of character' I realise it's probably the most unfiltered, true, and 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳 version of me that could ever exist

People pleasing is something you did
Not something you are

Identities are not fixed
Your past is not your future

Things get to be different now

On Friday I was at @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social for a performance of 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘰̄ (𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘦)

Slow, deliberate, mesmerising. Every action an intentional moment of ritual

Nice coping mechanism you've got there
Built up over years of people-pleasing, over-giving & keeping everyone else happy
Be a shame if something was to... happen to it

Not everything kind of protection has your best interests at heart
Sometimes it's a racket

Whatever is currently playing on your mind
Allow yourself to let it go for the evening

The questions will still be there tomorrow, during 'office hours'

It can wait until then

#Pluribus is an excellent TV show about a woman who has to hold down her rage because the world has told her that it hurts others

Also, some people are complaining that the female lead should be 'more likeable'

So, ya know, a documentary

Frankenstein is eyegasmically beautiful.

I loved studying this book at university so I was intrigued to see how it would be done. Of course it takes a few liberties with the text, but it's certainly much closer than Karloff type adaptations.

Sometimes we press pause - not because we choose to stop, but because we’re forced to

This week’s Substack is a reflection on wintering: those involuntary pauses that ask us to slow down, listen, & tend to our roots

If you’ve been feeling the pull to rest, restore & re-evaluate, this one's for you
There are gaps in the mesh of the everyday world...
When life forces us to stop, perhaps it's an invitation to grow roots

Recovering people-pleasers are the bravest quitters I know

Because saying no for the first time feels like a massive act of rebellion...
