In my latest blog post, I write about the lost potential of Disney's 2023 film, 'Wish', and how a classic fairy-tale romance, even in this day and age, should never be seen as 'anti-feminist'. 💫 💘 #disney #animation #movies #feminism abigailamartin.blogspot.com/2026/09/femi...

I haven’t seen the Disney movie, ‘Wish’, in full, and frankly, after seeing clips and hearing some of the songs, I don’t want to. This film ...

This sounds hypocritical posting on Bluesky, but I find it incredibly upsetting sitting in a pub these days and seeing most people (including families with children) staring at phones without speaking to each other at all. Our kids will grow up not knowing how to socialise and that's terrifying.

Sam Neill was a terrific actor, but more importantly he was a great human being. He is loved, and will be missed. It’s not every actor who could play the Antichrist, a Russian submarine commander, and a dinosaur scientist. You will see Montana, sir. Godspeed.

I am feeling all of these right now.

I am not built for this level of sun. I was forged for drizzle and disappointment, as is the custom of this realm.

I have opened every window in my dwelling and still find myself in the furnace of despair.

I am a boiling vessel of petty irritation and noble suffering.

As a new fan to #Eurovision, I thoroughly enjoyed last night's final (particularly the Bulgaria song; I'M OBSESSED and so glad they won) and look forward to future shows. But I'll continue to feel uncomfortable with Israel participating and ESPECIALLY with them nearly winning. Not ok. Ban them.

Difficult one since I use cafes to study all the time and I think if you're a paying customer, ultimately you should be allowed to use the space, but people bringing their own food in and not paying is obnoxious, so I understand why they banned pupils for that reason. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Since I feel like I'm the only one who is mad about this, can I ask if anyone is infuriated with how many people play music, phone-calls and even TV on their phones on LOUD-SPEAKER in public instead of using earphones or turning the volume down? It's become so normalised and I f***ing hate it.
