Happy #JimFanningFriday! Shout-out to @licencetoqueer.com for starting this fun annual event. If you wanna participate, take a picture of yourself in a bow tie and tag them! My 5 year old daughter designed my bowtie. We'll see if that trend continues 😅

While James Bond is undoubtedly a powerful symbol of British cultural identity, using him to bolster support for your political views - whichever way you swing personally - is simply not cricket. Article/podcast: www.licencetoqueer.com/blog/no-time...

No time to be discussing politics — Licence to Queer

Bond and politics don’t mix. So why, when Bond himself resists being drawn far along either end of the political spectrum, do both sides persist in wielding poor 007 like a blunt instrument?

One of the queerest and 🥵 books I've ever read An intensely empowering story, using an ancient myth to shed light on our modern exististences, reminding us of the possibilities there always were - and all that may still be to come This is pure queer joy in book form. @caroderobertis.bsky.social

'James Bond is what every man would like to be and what every woman would like between her sheets.' Over six decades, this assertion has become received wisdom. But it turns out we’ve been lied to the whole time… www.licencetoqueer.com/blog/to-be-b...

When DOES 007 sleep? Perhaps because, as Hitchcock famously asserted, “drama is life with the dull bits cut out”, we rarely see Bond getting healthy, natural sleep on screen. www.licencetoqueer.com/blog/whats-k...
