I’m three episodes in (maybe four? It was late when I stopped for the night), and I just don’t get the eye-rolling that the reviewer is doing at every possible chance. Especially with the rundown of the characters. Just a little bit of empathy and insight wipes away most of the “mysteriously” from each description…

The first month was honestly the best - I was able to rest and spend time doing things that I’d been ignoring for months, and it ended with a week on a holiday I’d already had booked, that ended up being incredibly self-affirming. The return to work was slow, and hindered by major triggers and stress brought on by an…

I was put onto Citalopram last June via the NHS. My GP listened to my symptoms and discussed options with me - to which I went straight for medication, because I knew that I didn’t have the mental capacity or energy to work towards other methods at that stage. I was also signed off for a month in order to adjust to…

Also weird, rather than gross! Years ago, when I was living in Brockley, my then-fiancee and I were on a night bus. We were mostly alone, but a man in an army uniform, carrying a bottle in a brown paper bag, got on and sat behind us.

I was definitely getting Swinton vibes. Tilda Swinton by way of Emma Thompson. 

There’s a comic somewhere out there that features Chris Griffin and Bart Simpson in couples councelling, dealing with their super dysfunctional upbringing. The end of the comic reveals Bobby as their counsellor, reflecting how lucky he was. It’s remarkably effective, and what I always come back to when I think about…

In touching on Tumblr, you’ve reminded me of something I’ve been conscious of for years, but rarely seen any wider examination in. That is, with the rise of social media - especially platforms like Tumblr, where age is rarely mentioned and things like selfies are frequently not the norm - it’s become very easy to…

In fairness, the accent is something that Harleen puts on, so I’m fine with it slipping.

I was in an abusive relationship for over three years, from when I was 17-21, one that I was, in retrospect, groomed for when I was 16. When I finally told my parents about it, even though it had been physically, mentally and emotionally abusive pretty much from the start, I told them that it had only been happening…

For that matter, when he had regular access to young boys, why would he need porn? The reason that most pedofiles have child porn is because it’s what they use for their compulsion. Jackson didn’t need such things.

If you like thrillers, noir, or gut-wrenching drama, I highly, highly recommend Amberlough by Lara Elena Donelly. Genuinely one of my favourite books of all time.

Or, even better, like a thirteen year old playing the Sims for the first time. 

Actually, there have been multiple trans women on Drag Race, as well as several non-binary contestants. 

With LOL Surprise and other blindbox “toys” being so popular, it should come as no surprise that, well, Puppy Surprise has been brought back:

Stonehenge also uses Park & Ride shuttles. The main problem is that the road is also one of the most commonly used roads for anyone going west across the south of England. Rather than a tunnel, what it desperately needs is a bypass.

A close family friend worked for Pleasant Company right when I was in the thick of my AG obsession. Not only were there deep discounts, but there was an employees-only sale once or twice a year where they would sell end of line and factory seconds even cheaper. There was usually hardly anything noticably wrong with…

And despite being a hot mess, she’s frequently the most badass character on the show! 

I get that 2018 has been a long ass year and February was actually three decades ago, but how is Emma Gonzalez not on this list? She and her fellow students stood strong against an administration hostile to victims, displaying poise and ferocity far beyond those decades their seniors. 

And another 15% from Brighton!

I have to be honest, as someone who was obsessed with Gunnm as a teenager, I’m excited and nervous for Alita and fascinated by what parts of the series they pull through. And Christopher Waltz just looks so damn perfect as Ido.
