This oppressive heat reminds me of one of my favourite films: Jim Sheridan's In America, and Paddy Considine's Johnny, hellbent on dragging an air conditioner across town and up the stairs into his family's apartment. A very sweaty and beautifully sad film that I don't see mentioned nearly enough.

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

this reads as these judges just not understanding the gravity of their ruling at all.
"so, to summarise, the bad guys win. but we don't want the bad guys thinking that this means they've won"

every single person who supports this is an enemy of feminism & those who wrap their bigotry in fake concerns about “women & girls” deserve no sympathy & no mercy for doing so
The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate.

This is your random reminder that They Cloned Tyrone is...
1. A brilliant debut by Juel Taylor
2. Features my favourite John Boyega performance to date
3. Is frequently laugh out loud funny
Worth seeking out on Netflix if you haven't yet treated yourself.

Smoggie Queens is getting a series 2!
The BBC have decided to head back to Boro for more of our silly queer show! In a world that feels increasingly dark and mean and small, I'm so proud that we get to make something so big, bright, open-hearted and which seems to bring comfort and joy to so many!
