Not gonna lie: It's getting harder and harder to just exist as a queer person right now (and we in the UK don't even have the worst of it).
Fleabag is one of those shows thay comes along once in a blue moon. Little I've ever come across so sincerely expresses the experience of being an older UK Millennial.

"Do you love your son? Tell him that I love him too. I love everybody, and everything, I accept everything, and I have become wise, and profound, and good." -Mark, Possession (as played by Sam Neill).
Wolverine is no good for Morph at all. Morph deserves better 😡 (X-Men '97 Queer Posting. Which is surprisingly easy. It's a deeply queer show).
"Did you really think you could destroy this ship? She's defied space and time. She's been to a place you couldn't possibly imagine. And now... it is time to go back." - Dr. Weir, Event Horizon

"She'd been shot for simply being true to her nature. No thinking queer could be happy with his complicity in that." - Will Rabjohns, Sacrament. By Clive Barker.
To mark the passing of Sam Neill, why not listen to this episode of Not The Same Log in which @elliotchapman.bsky.social, @exaggeratedelegy.bsky.social, & myself discuss John Carpenter's In The Mouth of Madness. There's an episode on Event Horizon... on the horizon. youtu.be/70U09l9n4X4?...

See Bryan Fuller's Hannibal. Probably my favourite TV series of all time. Any further instalments can only dilute its Romantic magnificence.
Harry Turtledove @hntdove.bsky.social · 4w agoSee Tolkien, J.R.R.
Yeah, bonding with the Celestial technology might've made him nigh-omnipotent, but it did nothing for him aesthetically. Maybe that's why he's so nihilistic: He's bitter about not being hot any more.
A hateful, bigoted, pig-ignorant hypocrite that the UK and humanity in general is elevated for the absence of.
Arbitrarily picked up my -very- dog-eared, 1990s copy of Barker's Sacrament from my bookshelf recently, started reading.

I'm currently percolating a new podcast as a means of processing existence in 2026 UK as a queer person:
One of my favourite antagonists in all of Barker's fiction, the man who becomes a demi-god of his own neuroses, Randolph Jaff (AKA: The Jaffe). youtu.be/wIQXAtdG2Lw?...

Another episode of "Barker's Bad Guys" winging its way to the channel tomorrow, this time taking a look at one of my favourite antagonists in the man's entire back catalogue: The man made bleak myth of himself, Randolph Jaff (or "The Jaffe").
My sincerest pleasure. This promises to be a fascinating project: A deep dive into all things Bowie, from music to film to wider and more abstruse cultural significance.

I recall this period well: A friend and I would take our Decepticon Predator jets into school and chase each other around firing missiles at each other.

The fact that Pride consistently pisses off the worst people on Earth just by measure of its existence makes it worthwhile. The fact that it has lots of other benefits and qualities too is a bonus.
Finally reached my favourite moment in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the point at which so many subtexts and tensions reach breaking point. The dialogue here between Verso and Renoir is nothing short of beautiful (and achingly sad). youtu.be/IahsK09jduQ?...
