Was chatting with someone about the movie Pride recently, which I've just seen they're turning into a musical. I love that film, and it'll make a great stage show, but I've always found it a shame that the film doesn't say more about Mark Ashton's significant history of political organising.

I have a piece on as part of @cripticarts.bsky.social The Acts at Bristol Old Vic! It’s on next Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th, it would be brilliant to have a great audience there to watch new work by disabled creatives ♥️ bristololdvic.org.uk/whats-on/cri...
Image Description:
A series of four artworks by Rachel Gadsden.
The first painting depicts a brightly coloured pigeon with blue and purple brush strokes. Behind them stands a housing block with a yellow and white orb hanging in a dark night sky. In front of the pigeon are sharp spikes of black and pink, with mixed media scattered around including string, rollerblades, and distorted words printed.
The second painting sees a grey and brown wolf burst from swirls of brown watercolour. Their face holds a snarl of white teeth and bright yellow eyes.
The third painting shows a scene of a bedroom with lush pillows on the bed and two suitcases stacked in front. The colours are abstract, saturated and bold, with pinks and blues, purples and greens, yellow and oranges all bouncing off each other.
The fourth and final painting features a detailed fly with blue and green glistening body and large red eyes.The Acts is a gathering of four daring new works from some of the UK's most exciting disabled theatre makers.
Tatum Swithenbank conjures REALMS, a spell-like journey through folklore, disability, and magick.
Caitlin Magnal-Kearns weaves a love story of desire, guilt, and aging with tender humour in The Ache of It.
Kathrine Payne's dark comedy body job follows two lovers as they collide and unravel, exploring the growing phenomenon of lonely deaths in the UK and the tangled realities of shame, labour, and love.
SO SHA invites us into Pruu the Pidj, a music-led ritual about survival, softness, and finding home in unlikely places.

RIP Béla Tarr (1955-2026) If you want to know where to begin, I strongly recommend Werckmeister Harmonies (2000), a cosmic nightmare that’s nominally about a travelling stuffed whale exhibit, but also about civilisation eating itself, the death drive & the dark forces unleashed by authoritarianism.

Wanted to share this post I shared on IG on here 💕 #Agoraphobia
a picture of a fat, white woman with curly hair and a sign that says 100 days caitmkearns 100 Days of Walks
Most of you know l've been housebound with agoraphobia for five years. When lockdown hit, it gave my disorder the perfect excuse to tighten its grip. I didn't need to leave-I couldn't leave. It was an agoraphobe's short-term dream and long-term nightmare.
But for the past 100 days, l've walked. Just up and down my street, for now. Small steps, but consistent ones. I believe consistency will lead to normality, and normality to progress. Unlearning five years of habit and avoidance will take time, and that's okay.
I've made peace with the fact that panic disorder will always be part of my life. There are things I may never be able to do because of it and that's okay, too. But what I can do is walk. To choose, every day, to open the door and put one foot in front of the other.
Here's to the next 100

An image of Paris Hilton, onstage in front of a crowd, hands in air, in a long pink skirt and a t-shirt that has black text against a white background, with Wes Streeting's face badly superimposed over hers and the t-shirt text crudely doctored to say "STOP BEING MENTALLY ILL." 

The original image became a meme about 10 years ago, with the text saying "STOP BEING POOR", though this itself was a photoshop job, it actually read "STOP BEING DESPERATE." 

No you're supposed to be writing.
