Brilliant hearing #actingyouragecampaign supporter David Tennant giving a shout out for the talent and experience of older people who are too often written off as he talks about the upcoming adaptation of @richardosman #TheThursdayMurderClub
A great example of my #parityPledge

On BBC Front Row: Daniel Evans on @the-rsc.bsky.social's Born with Teeth, @mrsnickyclark.bsky.social & Leicester Curve's Nikolai Foster on Stephen Fry as Lady Bracknell & genderblind casting of older women's roles, Rebecca Kuang on Katabasis & we remember Terence Stamp www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

I wrote about this beautiful film,
The stellar performances of Jason Isaacs & Gillian Anderson & the additional social importance of podcasts like @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social

If the “moral case” = taking from the tiny welfare that severely disabled people have & “immoral case” = adding 2p of tax to those with incomes of more than £10,000,000 & you believe this equation as balanced;then the problem is your gullibility not my learning disabled daughter.

So on the 25th of January I had a heart attack.
Out of a clear blue sky.
The paramedics & wonderful team in stoke saved my life.
As I recover I want to do all I can to highlight that women show symptoms differently to men- mine was heartburn.
No woman goes to the doc with that.
I 💙 the NHS.

A heroine to millions of women & a #WomanOfACertainAge

Watch this video then look at those held up for praise & adoration,those who-casually & deliberately-use slurs for learning disabled people. They all contribute to & enable a culture of hate & abuse. So now,try & UNDERSTAND why I fight so hard for Emily.

There is a school of thought that using the slur retard or retarded doesn’t mean what everyone knows it means.

The argument is that if it isn’t aimed at a learning disabled person then it’s just woke snowflakes getting all offended and trying to kill free speech & comedy. (1)

Excellent interview by @lewisgoodallfp.bsky.social of @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social

The strength and dignity of Gisèle Pelicot is a gift to all women and girls.

“It’s time that the macho, patriarchal society that trivialises rape changes … It’s time we changed the way we look at rape.”
