Campbell X - Stud Life, (Untitled)2025, SMOKE
@campbellx.bsky.social
Award-winning filmmaker, writer, theatre director. Feature film Low Rider coming soon (pictured above). Trying to keep my big mouth shut....Not really.
RIP Brian Robinson. Still in shock from this sad news. He fought for Stud Life to be screened at BFI Flare. And was always kind and witty when I hung out with him. A great raconteur. He was also very knowledgeable about film. Thoughts to his partner Pas and loved ones. 💔😥
This is going to make it very difficult to know which sports we should ban them from.

Mychal sits & shares that Ms. Rachel posted, “Black boys deserve to grow up.” This is not controversial, it is hope. Black library kids deserve to grow up to become Black library grown-ups. Black boys deserve to live in a world where that has not always felt true. Black boys deserve joy ✨

If you're pissed at the Dodgers going to the White House, stop watching MLB. The majority of players are Evangelical Trumpers so STOP funding their livelihood and their contributions to non-profit Christian organizations like Turning Point. Starve the beast people.
Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.
A barrister represents his clients in court. Clients who are political dissidents. He now faces criminal prosecution for doing so. Not Turkey. Not Egypt. Not Russia. England. Astonishing, deeply disturbing, and part of a long slide towards authoritarianism. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Worth pointing out that in 1956, a children's book adaptation of Homer was doing "woke" casting.
This 🧵 is gold for when women beat, im assuming, cis men in sport. So much of sport rules is about fragile masculinity.

Tax on cis people sharing screenshots of rowling's latest cruelty - one screenshot, one donation to a trans youth group? I know we need to know what she's doing for activist work reasons - but I wish the work we were doing FOR trans youth got as much online traffic as attacks on them.

One of the things about modern transmisogyny is that it gave right-wing regimes an avenue through which they institutionally recuperate feminism while actively eroding the rights of women and queer people, openly trialing new anti-gay marriage arguments and reifying womanhood as reproductive.
Would it shock you to learn that rents charged by private landlords for Temporary Accommodation are usually 50% higher than actual market rents? And the councils are obliged to pay this, even though the properties are usually in poor condition and barely suitable for those they are housing?
Big Issue@bigissue.com · 4w agoCouncils in England have warned that the cost of housing homeless families in temporary accommodation has surged and it is preventing them building new homes.
