Hello, Bluesky! I thought I'd post this again since I've just had a sudden flurry of new followers. I've gone freelance since being made redundant, offering all of these services, and I'm now booking for March onwards.

Just watched The Blair Witch Project for the first time since I was a kid, and wow, some of the reviews are just DRIPPING in misogyny. These men see a 'hysterical' 'demanding bitch'; I see a young woman trying to keep it together (and taking the blame) for the other two dickheads.

Look, I'm a hater of generative AI. But harassing authors for unconfirmed use of AI in their books, particularly marginalised authors, has got to stop. Meanwhile you're all still using products by the companies that scraped our books for profit. Behave.

I don’t know why Rowling is being treated as a hero for paying tax just like everyone else. Everyone who works pays a proportionate amount of tax. Same when these celebrities give to charities when it’s peanuts to them. People are too easily impressed by rich people doing the bare minimum.

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…
And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say.
We see you.

The creativity of the Stranger Things fandom has far surpassed that of the Duffer Brothers because what do you MEAN the inconsistencies meant nothing??

People are harshing on some “diverse reading challenge” thing that’s going around, and I get it, but looking at what you read and asking yourself “what isn’t represented here?” is imo a good and healthy practice

Unsurprisingly, Sinners is way out in front, with Jurassic World Rebirth an overall disappointment.
Honourable mentions to Please Don't Feed the Children and Until Dawn, which were far more enjoyable than I expected, and Fear Street: Prom Queen and Totally Killer were fun slashers.

What was the best film you saw this year? (and what was the worst?)
Out of the 107 films I saw in cinemas this year so far, I've got a list of 22 contenders for my 'best of' list (usually about 10 or 12).
I'm expecting Marty Supreme to shake things up a bit but it's going to have to be a belter to earn its place.
