31.12.2024 23:50Comment on 2024 AMA by SomeoneI don't know really... Warrington for sure, but then..? It depends if I have other people I can go with/feel up to going alone, costs, whether there's anyone I care about performing etc. I started feeling very alone at Pride when I went on my own as I don't drink and don't socialise well... Which is not a great mood at Pride

31.12.2024 18:002024 AMAAs I have now, barring surprises, been to my all but one of my theatrical productions of 2024, I can give some highlights. Tomorrow is Wicked, but that is it. I saw 28.5 theatrical productions (if my counting is correct) across 18 venues in 6 cities/towns – Of those, there were – How do you […]
13.12.2024 18:322024: Theatre UnwrappedOctober means one thing! Hallowe’en! Hallowe’en and Christmas are two celebrations I tend to try and theme things around in my reading/watching – maybe Pride (June) too, but I tend to watch queer stuff frequently enough anyway… So, this year, I have decided to try and read (links to the editions I would be reading) […]
2.10.2024 16:01October PlansJust a short intro here – I make Sticky Toffee Puddings at least every Christmas for the family. One of my family members asked for the recipe recently for a colleague and, well, I had to share photos of the handwritten (my best scrawl), something-splattered copy I have written in my recipe book (there are […]

8.2.2024 17:38UK Political TransphobiaWell, that episode was a lot of fun – I enjoyed it immensely. But… It was not without its problems – fairly significant problems in fact. I will say that these are largely down down to high expectations and the sole trans character having to represent a whole lot in very little time, but… problems […]
26.11.2023 11:17Doctor Who – The Star BeastThe TL;DR is that Warrington Guardian is engaging in trans erasure in its latest charity campaign rendering Warrington queer people invisible in the process.Six months ago, Brianna Ghey was murdered in a Warrington park. Brianna was a 16 year old trans teenager. I live in Warrington. This hit hard.
18.8.2023 11:45Rendered InvisibleThe BBC has joined Fedi… a bit. They’ve started a six month experiment with a Mastodon server for a handful of BBC general accounts (R&D types, Radio 4, 5Live) (i.e. not individuals). Note, BBC News is not one of these accounts (but Radio 4 is). This is, one the one hand, great. We want big […]
3.8.2023 14:22BBC On Fedi?I grew up under Section 28. I was lucky – I had access to the internet in the early days of IRC (NeverNet), Yahoo Groups and GeoCities (West Hollywood neighbourhood) and so was able to work out who I was despite this. And, of course, understand that I was growing up under Section 28. So […]
9.7.2023 18:21ProtestThis will contain spoilers for Nimona and its queer themes. This morning, I finally got around to watching Nimona – and wasn’t it a lot of fun? And it’s a delightfully queer movie. This is not Luca with it’s (laughably (un)deniable) gay romance. It’s not Strange Worlds with it’s queer relationship consigned to bookending the […]
