The universe has its plans for us. We're still here for a reason. Let's live well so Death will tremble to take us. Don't take each day or people for granted. Don't waste your time on idiot people. Live your life to be happy in whatever makes you happy. Wear sunscreen.
Have good days all 🖤

A lovely reflection on the life and career of gay filmmaker John Schlesinger, whose queer films, starting at a time when on-screen homosexuality was vanishingly rare, include Midnight Cowboy (first X-rated movie to win Best Picture), Sunday Bloody Sunday and the Madonna-starring The Next Best Thing.
‘We thought Midnight Cowboy might end everybody’s career’: the diverse, disruptive, Oscar-winning cinema of John Schlesinger
In the 60s and 70s, he pioneered kitchen-sink drama and made bisexuality mainstream. So why did the director end up making Tory ads? Those who knew him best reveal all

So young white women must breed, old white women must shut up and cook (and clean behind the fridges), and black and brown women will be deported.
Is that the Reform message?

A sheep who initially claimed to be a sheep but, on further interrogation, over a beer, admitted she was just posing as one and was in fact one of the UK's last surviving wild pandas.

An absolutely delightful thread to enliven a gloomy Friday
27 years ago today, artist John Myatt was sentenced to a year in prison for conspiracy to defraud, after painting around 200 fake works, including Chagalls and Matisses over a period of eight years, which convinced buyers despite usually being rendered in household emulsion mixed with KY Jelly 🧵

I’m not playing this stupid game with Reform or any of their multimillionaire groupies, vilifying immigrants and moaning about the benefits bill from their tax havens and Dubai penthouses. Then lying about what they said and why.
Reform is a racist party. Relying on racist votes for power. End of.

Completely forgot it's Friday 13th today 😬
Tomorrow on the website we’ll be releasing the latest findings from the survey. But one glorious nugget for you today: a quarter of people in England (23.9% to be precise) believe that Friday 13th is an unlucky day. Those most likely to believe this are women, aged 16-24, and white.

Reminded of one of my French exes who pronounced the word 'clingy' 'cling-ee' as
'cleeng-eey' like how you would pronounce 'lunge' & how I never corrected him because I liked how he said it 😅
Oh god, he's probably still saying 'cleeng-eey' isn't he?! 😭😭

I'm too cheap to pay for a subscription to watch the Arsenal match this evening but one of you was really kind & sent me a legitimate link *cough* before & I was wondering if this was something you had considered for your pal VV on this occasion ... 💅🏼
