I’ve been binging The Matrix lately as I finally got the Blu-ray set for Xmas. It was a huge part of my childhood and after seeing Resurrections, enjoying it, then seeing a lot of negativity I was looking forward to seeing it again. Had I let nostalgia cloud my judgement? Or perhaps a sense of…

I wonder why Blizzard have never implemented a system for tavern brawls in WoW. A thought inspired by watching The Color of Magic and the brawl at the drum.

This is the weakest of the three Discworld adaptations Sky did but still enjoyable. Going Postal was brilliant and Hogfather was excellent.…

These are peak healthcare setting vibes.

This is the one waiting room I don’t mind spending time in. Time to catch up on @ryannfletcher.bsky.social’s Books and Bloodlust whilst I wait!

I hate heart palpitations with a passion. Like, what is it girl? Is it time to go? No? You’re just making me feel scared and uncomfortable? Thanks.

I can’t find Discworld figures in 1:76 for the railway under the Xmas tree (gutted) but I have found a Paddington Bear to go along with the TARDIS from last year so it’s not all bad. There’s also the skeleton gay couple and dog from the Funnybones books/tv programme but can’t stretch that this year.

I will never forgive Moffatt for his portrayal of Churchill. I mean yeah, so many other things too but that’s the one that’s really getting to me right now.

It’s a shame that when people (Terry Pratchett in this example) were voicing concerns as far back as 1995, that they were dismissed. Imagine if they’d been taken seriously and we didn’t have the general shit show that is our current political situation.

“How are the Missy figures coming along?”

“We’ve run out of money to design a new head.”

“Just stick Captain Jack’s head on but change the hair so it isn’t obvious, no one will notice.”

It’s not just me right?

Well that’s that. There were only six people but they were all lovely and clued up.

Will it change anything? I don’t know. I know the person we met with is going to try. I’m tired of signing petitions that go nowhere, I’m tired of shouting online into a vacuum, atleast this is something productive
I have a meeting today with a member of the government to raise objections and concerns to the EHRCs guidance.

If you have concerns throw them at me now, I want to make sure I raise as much as possible and not just my white trans woman point of view.
