What the hell has happened to US politics and the spine of commercial companies like Google. Within days of taking over, that bully has already erased the Gulf of Mexico from Google maps (when searching from USA), & events highlighting prejudice and suffering from the world's largest calendar app.

Saw Wicked the movie last night.
Three things to note:
a) Cynthia Erivo is a bloody legend
b) I have new found respect for Ariana Grande
c) if you like singing like me, it will take ALL your strength not to burst into song during Defying Gravity.
Bloody marvellous

Truly one of the greats. ❤️🏳️🌈

Our very own Bryan has made quite a stir with his stories of serving as a gay man in the military.
You can hear him being interviewed on the Late Show on BBC Sounds tomorrow night at 10pm (Thursday 28th November).

So far Bluesky has been a friendly place - so relieved to not feel sad/angry or worried within minutes of logging on. Don't understand followers who don't have *anything* in their bio though - if you say nothing at all, I assume you're a bot, I need to either know you or have a *reason* to follow.

This #InternationalMensDay remember that the expectations of patriarchy have real disadvantages for men along with women, and when struggling, being expected to bottle it up is the last thing you need.
