I've rarely had such low engagement as my post yesterday about my short film crowdfunder. Genuine Q: Is Bluesky just not the place for that? Or was it because we were all sad about Dolly? Or [other]? Tbf it's not a Good Cause aside from supporting UK comedy and a new female director. Thoughts?

Forgive the self-promo on a day like this (RIP Dolly). I've shared this on the other places*, but here's where I have the most followers, who share my sense of humour, so... anyone want to chip in for my comedy-thriller short film? www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/how-to-do-... *Not X. I'm not a monster.

Is that from BBC online? I can only find this, which is consistent with their style guide / colour scheme

I'm loving this Bluesky joke where we all pretend we were at Taylor and Travis's wedding. Extra funny for me because I actually was there! I kept two of these cute clips we got given so we didn't get our wine glasses muddled up.

I've just now realised what Melania's surprise statement on Thursday reminded me of

This image from the redacted Epstein files is like a work of art, darkly eloquent about deception and impunity. The way the rectangles get bigger..

I wrote a serious poem about Fridays in autumn. #bbctraitors #traitors #bbcstrictly #strictly
Two dusks, two dawns,
‘Twixt Traitors and Strictly;
Would that they would passeth quickly.
May Celia’s toot reverberate,
‘Til Shirley stands, and declareth "Eight!"

My films of the year. Top row I'd recommend universally. Second row more subjective. Each of those films did something brave. (Particularly The Apprentice, which isn't what you expect from the trailer. An important film right now).

If you haven't seen Conclave this weekend, get you to the cinema. Adapted by my screenwriting mentor Peter Straughan (of Wolf Hall fame), it has all the multi-layered complexity and cinematic beauty of art-house, combined with the twisty plot and sheer entertainment value of a mainstream thriller.

I'm struck by this detail in one of the Gregg Wallace allegations. The male colleague was probably clueless rather than actively enabling. But if he'd understood about predatory men, what would have been a good way to deal with this situation?

Do we do boasting here? This is hot on the heels of my semi-finalist laurel for their feature film contest. What can I say? Shore Scripts just love to give me a semi. (Bawdy boasting)

It might be an impersonator but I blocked anyway. Who'd even want to impersonate him? (Except for comic purposes)
