How cool is this @stephenking.bsky.social promo badge from 1994 that I found secondhand online? I’d never seen one of these available in the U.K. before so had to snap it up for my King shelves 😊

I was incredibly lucky to be invited to the media screening of #runningmanmovie tonight in London! I can’t share my full review until next week because a) embargoes and b) I literally left the theatre half an hour ago, but I can tell you that I had a really, really good time watching.
