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

We paid loving homage to/utterly ruined The Living Daylights, depending on your point of view.

'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...

My passions combine in this timely new book! James Bond + linguistics + gender studies! @paulari.bsky.social and @gavinbrookes.bsky.social cover a massive gap in the literature around men's language with this book. And it's all available for FREE: library.oapen.org/bitstream/ha...

Prepare to be hooked! This is the Bond-universe story we've always wanted to read. Felix Leiter is a beloved character already but we fell really hard for him here. 💙 Preorder The Hook and the Eye: www.ianfleming.com/product/the-... @raymondbenson.bsky.social

It's not the years; it's the mileage. We may have matured (physically, if not otherwise) but we thought it would be fun to go out in the same outfits we wore to our wedding ten years ago. ☺️

Is Roger Bond really the 'early riser' he claims to be? www.licencetoqueer.com/blog/whats-k...

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...

What's the highest placed Bond song or score track in your #spotifywrapped? My most listened to Bond track of the year is this banger (mostly because I listen to it on repeat while running!)
