I had never really understood the term 'entourage' until that week.

If Pedro Pascal and I were friends we'd go to the theatre on the first Tuesday of every month, because I think he'd enjoy  that.

Do you know when you start reading something & you know there's an investigative podcast that needs to be created about a single novel? I'm in a rabbit hole novel with 150 chapters, most of which are missing, and the pages aren't in numerical order...

Science should have neutered him. The Atlantean-scaled enigmas of his eyes had often, through Victorian-thin glass, held my quietlessness captive for hours. Xrays now showed his head was papier mΓ’chΓ© (torso a mummified macaque, tail a stuffed koi), but his sawdust-self still accused: liar. #WriteCBC

Keir Starmer says Labour is the party of work, equality and fairness, but less than a year after the election, changes at the Department for Work and Pensions have forced me to stop doing the job I love. The full video can be found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxpq... #AccessToWork

Can I ask a #MTG rules question? If Summon: Fenrir enters with summoning sickness & is sacrificed after the third chapter resolves, does that mean (without outside help) it only has 1 viable turn to attack? @tolariancommunitycollege.com @rhysticstudies.bsky.social @spice8rack.bsky.social ?

Yesterday, a stranger approached me to tell me I had a good aura, and then went on about his day.

I am probably wrong about this, and offer it humbly: I wonder if 'scarcity-by-design' and 'false scarcity' are distinct by nuance? And, in the chasm of that nuance, illicit behaviours which reflect two different motivations of control? (If that makes sense?)

I think I've hit the age where I have to face the fact I will never live in a haunted mansion.

We are neither beast nor machine: we find ourselves lost between the two.

I’m profoundly sad to say that as of today, I’ll no longer be able to do my job as co-artistic director of #Touretteshero because of a recent decision by #AccessToWork to cut my support by 61%. Read & share this post, the hardest I've had to write: www.touretteshero.com/2025/05/23/a... 1/4

Got to say, #Giant at the Harold Pinter was 100% on point. There are no tags on Blue Sky to amplify this banger of a production, and, let's be honest, I have no traction, but so, so, so worth getting tickets for if you can!

The shadow of intolerance is upon us, and we have the chance to choose radical kindness. Let's fill the world with books where heart speaks to heart.
