Sarah Parkin @sarahparkin1.bsky.social · 28/09/2026After every tribute I've read today, I hope Pac knew how loved, admired and respected he was. One of the greatest this country has ever produced and a damn good human. This is incomprehensible. 050
Sarah Parkin @sarahparkin1.bsky.social · 28/09/2026One of the first things I started watching when I got back into wrestling was early NXT, with Adrian Neville making that show matter every week. He'd been incredible for years already, and he only got better. Wrestling without Pac has a hole at its centre that I can't fully comprehend. 1112

Sarah Parkin @sarahparkin1.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I saw Muppet Treasure Island a few weeks ago in a cinema for the first time in 30 years. Tim Curry is the only actor who could try to out-silly the Muppets and look like he belonged with them. To think he was the nastiest bastard in Criminal Minds too. What a man. 020

Sarah Parkin @sarahparkin1.bsky.social · 27/07/2026This is a great read. I really liked the film as an experience but kept butting against choices that made Odysseus a more conventional hero (blinding of Polyphemus aside, which is blatantly just a dick move) - and, of course, getting increasingly mad about the "sea people" and "civilisation". 120

Sarah Parkin @sarahparkin1.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Watching Serena play now is so strange. Better than she looked in her last Wimbledon match years ago, but that bit less accurate, that step slower, and more prone to getting furiously stuck in her own head than ever. She'd only just shaken off the rust when the fatigue set in. 100
