Hi, I’m Clare! I love writing, cats, television and occasionally, the internet. I’ve worked on Netflix shows like The Witcher, Bridgerton, and Umbrella Academy. I also once dressed up as a “nice boulder” for a Shrek Rave. Here to meet new friends! #WGA #writersky #filmsky #tvsky

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

A personal thank you to my friend who made me sit down and watch all of KPop Demon Hunters after not liking the first five minutes -- she was right, I was wrong, Golden is the song of the (late) summer, basically fall

An open letter to all stores: NOW you can put out the Halloween stuff. No one was hauling their sweaty butt to Michael's in the August heat to make sure they got your sign that says "BOO-yah".

I live in one of the most multicultural areas of the UK and there is rarely a day where I'm not positively impacted by that - whether it's delicious food, really good local businesses or my incredibly kind neighbours. I'm not saying this as a political statement, more just a reality of my life.

Top tip: if a creative person does something you really like, you are at liberty to tell them so. There are excellent odds that you will make their day.
