Telly and Radio Writer. Autistic. Was nominated for a BAFTA once. I also sort out books in a charity shop. I’m not on here much as I’m trying to look after myself.

The crew must have been shitting themselves at how lucky they were getting that performance out of that camel in that moment. They had to be hopping up and down when the dailies came in. Wondering if what they thought happened actually happened.

It’s not the biggest #spider in the world, but I wasn’t expecting it when I went to give a customer a carrier bag, and I also wasn’t expecting to shrill “OH MY GIDDY AUNT!” in fright and have everyone look at me. How do I even have that in my lexicon?

Not gonna name names but an author once pushed back on a technical note saying “the Falcon isn’t a ‘57 Chevy” and the only response to that: “yes, it absolutely is.”

“George Lucas gave us our terms of reference on #StarWars and we have abided by them. ‘Everything,’ he said, ‘must relate to Earth, to what we know about our own planet.’ The Star Wars pictures are not science fiction.” - original trilogy production designer Norman Reynolds

this isn't about choice or preference, this is about physical and medical safety. this isn't about telling trans people to suck it up or whatever, this is a clear effort to exclude them from public life. and we need to be saying that, not couching it in the phobe's language of choice

Exactly this. The ban might say a trans guy can't use a male bathroom. But the intention of the ban, and the people behind it, is very much that he can't use the female bathroom either. When was the last time you were outside your own house for the length of a working day or more without peeing?

Instead of saying that all these laws "prohibit trans people from using the bathroom of their choice" we should be more clear. Bathroom bans are intended to prohibit trans people from using the bathroom, or any public accomodations, at all.. Like be for real here.

british news be like "A titan has fallen, and the lion's whiskers grow a little grey. England mouorns a true patriout" and you look the guy up and his main deal seems to be writing columns like "What happened to the Gloury days of seeing a bit of tit in the chewspaper?"

Being the very gullible type of autistic child, I’m really SUPER GLAD we’re in this era where AI has poisoned the well of dog videos. I REALLY LOVE having to go forensic on a clip of a husky at the vets to determine if the whole thing is a sham. What an incredible age you’ve ushered in.

At the Ghost in the Shell panel. Not even the screenwriter and producer have seen Shirow in the flesh. Shirow communicates only by photographing hand written notes and sending jpegs to his editor, who relays info to the staff.
