Love that the one Eurovision act I didn't see last night (because I had to pop upstairs to give my crying toddler her water bottle) was the one that won 😆

"...it is the focus and not some gestured-to subplot of a supporting character. Here, even the small moments speak volumes, such as when Lisa must go into the office the day after her miscarriage, forced to make small talk about the weather and the weekend." www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Inside Babies, the heartbreaking BBC drama about the toll of miscarriage

A timely BBC drama taps into cultural anxieties around fertility as it follows a couple in their mid-thirties struggling to conceive. Actors Paapa Essiedu and Siobhán Cullen speak to Annabel Nugent

Cyberpunk connects and reflects us. Exists like a nucleus at the epicentre of community. It touches so much and connects. And Trans+ people have been here from the beginning in one form or another. Help fund a book exploring that connection and so much more.

People frequently complain about being heavily pregnant in summertime, but what's less-often commented on is that that means you're first trimester in the dead of winter - with eternal rain, mood swings, and limited caffeine to help get out of bed in the mornings...

I'm still not sure what I thought about the autistic representation in Patience series 1, but every ND experience is different and I do like a good murder, especially when it's set in my town, so I'm going to give series 2 a go.

“[R]acism may wear a new dress, buy a new pair of boots, but neither it nor its succubus twin fascism is new or can make anything new. It can only reproduce the environment that supports its own health: fear, denial, and an atmosphere in which its victims have lost the will to fight.” Toni Morrison

Went to bed with a migraine, took 2 aspirin at 4am when the 2-year-old woke me, woke up for work still in nearly-unbearable pain, and only after 2 hours of work and parenting has the pain relief, cold flannel, bites of dry crackers, and the coffee kicked in. 'Bout 90% sure it's hormonal. :/

okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there
