DC comics film adaptations really doing the most to show how they will continue to make films about male heroes while we're out here begging for a female superhero that isn't Wonderwoman, Supergirl or Harley Quinn 🤣 🫠 (equally these could be the only 3 women in the DC universe so that's...fine)

'It's not just an inconvenience': We've underestimated the health impacts of heavy periods
As women have fewer children and more periods, heavy menstrual bleeding is becoming more of a health burden.

Pretty proud of my first ever steampunk costume for #FantasyForest last weekend. (Telescope prop made by @robsfullofbeans.bsky.social )
#YourFaultLondon is an absolute dream and a tonic to the purity culture of Sweet Magnolias (which I enjoy but recognise its propaganda) 😫
this is honestly an excellent celebratory and motivational speech from Mamdani at the Knicks parade. i'm ready to run through a wall, and i'm not even a Knicks fan
What's the deal with ppl playing their videos at volume on the train in the quiet carriage? 😫😭
Filling in the hive check gsheet and I can't help myself to format it to be more colourful, add new tabs and play around with the tabled to see what the data can tell me. Why am I like this? 🤣
Absolutely insane to think that this past weekend is the *first time* this year where I - haven't been planning for a conference - thinking about a deck - polishing a deck - planning a deck - looking at a deck Feels pretty good 🤣
What a lovely start to the wkn... Pilates, stationery shopping, checking on the bees. 🥰🥰 Also... MY FIRST BEE CHECK!! @robsfullofbeans.bsky.social being there for every step. And...I got to see the Queen 🐝
Hard to believe that I started the week down at CERN (Switzerland) 🤣🤣
Here we gooooo @uxlondon.bsky.social I cannot describe what it's like seeing something you made writ large like this. 🥹🥹
In other news catching up on all things encyclical and I *did not* have it on my 2026 bingo card that the pope (the pope?!) was gonna come out swinging for humanity and absolutely demolishing tech bro work ethics.
Not bad going for a Saturday by 1030am for me and @robsfullofbeans.bsky.social - Gym ✅️ - x2 loads of laundry (outside) ✅️ - Goose had his 'walk' ✅️ - Vet visit ✅️ - Petrol and air ✅️ - Ironing ✅️ Time to sink into Book 2 of Dungeon Crawler Carl 🤩🤩
I used this today and never felt so good.

Ah the plethora of romcoms headed our way this summer does *not* bode well for our economy. 🙃
Shoutout to the music team behind #thedeal @primevideouk.bsky.social because that was *chefs kiss* a few deviations from the book but such a good tiiiime. Properly reminiscent of The OC with such a wide range of bands and genres. (Special shoutout to Mazzy Star!)
My fave kinda Saturday, pilates, then mooches with pooch in town which involve recycling contacts, donating some clothes? Signing up for a clothing swap, going to the post office, picking up treats for the afternoon. Doing some painting, wrapping up a carpet in all the leftover plastic wrapping.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.
Daaaamn get the DoP on the #Daredevil finale an Emmy. Those shots were stunning. (Also kudos to the writers room for making it all very uncomfortably real) Vincent D'Onfrio was BORN to play Kingpin. Same as Patrick Stewart + Sir Ian McKellan to play Xavier and Magneto.
Dear lord the Teams ringtone in the airport. IS THERE NOWHERE WE'RE SAFE?!
I just danced onto a stage to Simon Says, used my funny ppl voice and spoke about metrics. LIve YoUr DrEams 😅🫣😆
Not ashamed to say that when my dentist/hygenist/opthamologist is white I can't cope. Can't make my south east asian 'OF COURSE I HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY OF DIABETES' jokes. The white ones just look askance. My british asians are pissing themselves.
A solo lunch treat after getting my hair done and some downtime after a very very busy 2 weeks!!
Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.
