i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I sincerely hope all media outlets will refuse to air anything he says directly and instead report on the lies and garbage he spouts daily without giving him the goddamn oxygen of attention he’s so pathetically desperate for. Stop putting him on TV. Call out every single bit of bullshit he spouts.

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

Tim Curry was great in so many things, but my absolute favourite is and always will be Clue. He was so energetic and arch and hilarious. Sad he’s gone.

Sad to see Bill Oddie has died. I loved the Goodies as a child and Bill was, at the time, my favourite (no doubt at least in part because he looked like my Dad). As I grew up, I came to appreciate the brilliance of Graeme Garden & Tim Brooke Taylor too, but he’ll always be my childhood favourite.

Not sure if Penguin Random House are doing any kind of San Diego Comic Con push for our epic audio production of KINGDOM COME in its 30th Anniversary year but let’s hope so. It was my first DC Comics gig after The Sandman and with everything to play for everyone involved did astonishing work.

Went to The Bubbling Toad in Vogrie Country Park (by Gorebridge) today for a potions class with nieces and nephews and it was just brilliant. Place looks amazing and staff were wonderful. Properly magical. Highly recommend. (Not an ad, I just genuinely thought it is so good other people should go).

Very much enjoying the desperation of the right-wing machine as it seeks to frame Farage vs Binface as 'the London elite laughing at the people of Clacton' rather than the more logical and factual 'absolutely everyone laughing at Farage'.

The thought of the sheer spluttering impotent rage Farage must be reduced to right now, combined with the fact that even he, in some dank corner of his mind, must realise that he has entirely brought this on himself, makes me incredibly happy.

Applied for a part time job on Tuesday. Decided to try Chat GPT for the personal statement. Hated what it wrote so ditched it altogether & wrote my own. Got knock back for the job today. Maybe should have stuck with Chat GPT since that was also, presumably, who assessed my application. Sigh.

It’s both sobering and oddly hopeful to think back to how much safer, calmer and more optimistic the world felt when Barack Obama was the President. A leader with dignity, compassion, charisma, intelligence - whip smart, generous and visibly a healthy man in his prime. #ObamaAppreciationDay

Here’s the thing about Tony. He turned up in the NEVERWHERE studio the day before he was booked to be in. He didn’t have to do that but he wanted to get an idea of how the production sounded in studio and how the team worked. A total pro and a lovely human being.

In case nobody has posted this btw. Jpg is cruddy but alt text has the text
If you EVER think Anthony Head is anything less than an angel then you’d best remember that I have always been a huge fan of his and we’ve always had a little contact over the years and he heard I’d come out as Trans and was having a hard time and that I was kind of sad that the photos I had from conventions with him were of me with long hair and no binder and they were all signed to “Sarah” and so he invited me to spend the day with him at his farm and he picked me up from the station and we just hung out and had lunch and he insisted on paying and took loads of photos and had them printed on photo paper the same day so he could sign them to Jay, along with other photos of him as Giles and Uther and he literally spent five hours chatting with me and got all of the pronoun stuff right every time and then he dropped me off at the station, gave me a final massive hug, waved me through the ticket barrier and insisted I message him when I got home so he knew I got back safe.

My instinctive response to the Kennedy Centre thing is to hope that, the moment it’s out of his hands and back in the control of sane people, there is a huge influx of top flight performers and events there, just to make it crystal clear that the only problem there ever was, was him.

I’ve got this brilliant political tactic for Labour called ‘have some principles and stick to them rather than trying to work out how to court as many focus groups as you can at the same time’ but I’ve a sneaking suspicion they may not take me up on it.

Basically the conversation I’ve just had with my Mum. I can only desperately hope that maybe, just maybe, Labour might look at the USA and realise that lurching further to the right to try to compete with the hard right just makes the whole country fall apart.
