Not just a beautiful story, but an incredibly important one. Thank you for sharing, Matthew! 🖤🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🖤
I was 17 when I met my first trans person.
I think she was 14 or 15 at the time.
She was the younger sibling of the boy I was madly in love with - and secretly dating.
She told me she thought she was a girl.
I believe I was the first person she’d told.

WEEK ONE: GROWS & GROWS

Writing songs again for the first time in like a decade. Going to try and do one a week to force myself out of preciousness.

Forgot to make this one rhyme in any way that makes sense.

Woops. We'll see what next week brings us.

Wait, The Show People Podcast is coming back?!

This is a series I've missed greatly. Very excited to see its return - and to see it supporting some incredibly worthy projects! 🖤🎭🖤
Spend the evening with Sir Stephen Fry this Thursday as the Show People Podcast returns as a live show at the Two Brewers!

Only 100 seats. All profits support nurturing LGBTQ+ theatre projects.

Does anyone need an EdFringe Sound Designer?

I have time in June/July and will be up in Edinburgh for week zero. Amongst other things I designed the sound for last year’s Fringe First winning ‘Revenge: After the Levoyah’

Download really do need to do better.

Also, the audacity to set this "policy" while inviting trans musicians to play their festival? Atrocious behaviour.

🖤🏳️‍⚧️🖤
Y'all, time to get in touch with Download.

They have got to reverse this "policy"

(Image 1: a screenshot of the PinkNews article covering NoahFinnce addressing Download announcing that bathrooms must be used according to birth assigned gender. Image 2: contact information for download festival)

Good morning folks!

Perhaps you’d like a ridiculous interview show to watch over breakfast?

Well... That was certainly a Comic Con! Sweltered in the Ciri cosplay (but it was so worth it), had great fun at @naturalsix.bsky.social panels and their D&D show, and got an impressive amount of swag.

All in all, quite the success - roll on October (once my bank account's recovered...) 🖤🎮🖤

Just rolled credits on @expedition33.bsky.social and (excuse my French)... Putain de merde, what a game.

Simply floored - such a rich world, an incredibly ambitious yet deeply personal story, one of the best soundtracks in years & incredible performances to boot.

Time to replay in French, non? 🖤🎮🖤

Final pieces for my Ciri cosplay arrived today... Just in time for Comic Con!

Very excited for this. First time I've cosplayed as... Well, anyone that isn't Aerith 🤣

Pictures to follow soon... 🖤🐺🖤

This was an absolutely brilliant show, by the way. Audrey Brisson was (unsurprisingly) a tour de force, completely nailed everything about being Piaf. Highly recommend before it ends! 🖤🎭🖤

#TheatreSky
Very excited to get to see #Piaf at The Watermill Theatre today - so excited that I got to the station nearly an hour before my train was due to leave...

At least I've got coffee! 🖤🎭🖤
