RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...
Section 28 was passed on this day in 1988. It didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from a society where 75% of people thought homosexuality was wrong. It came from a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of lesbian or gay lives. 🧵 1/16

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
UK performers are losing out on overseas work because of the heavy admin & financial burden of taking UK artists to the EU. Yesterday Equity's Head of Policy Tom Peters was in Parliament at the CMS select committee calling for changes to make touring easier for UK artists.

I find it remarkable that on the day Netflix released a blockbuster (and expensive) set of episodes everyone is talking about a tiny show from Canada, which most people watched illegally, that cost a tiny % of that Netflix show.
Pluribus. Nailing it.
Robbing refugees at the border is one of the vilest things I've heard of.
My theyfriend is taking their citizenship test later. Just took a sample one AND GOT THE DOG QUESTION WRONG. 😭
Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.
We know Rockstar can work productively with unions - making games that make huge money - because they do. These devs deserve everything. 💜✊💜
SAG-AFTRA stands in solidarity with the IWGB Game Workers Union exercising their right to organize following reports of union-busting at Rockstar. Our members’ union performances on Rockstar games are an integral part of the success and legacy of games like Grand Theft Auto.
Any time one of the far right ghouls sticks their head above the parapet in the next few weeks, they should be asked whether they condemn the attempted murder of children by arson.
Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Happy Ween-iversary to VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE - BLOODLINES 2. And to Silky - Seattle's fangfinest bartender. A joy to voice this 'big mon'. Thanks to the geniuses at @thechineseroom.co.uk, the great #KateSaxon and the fangtastic @sideglobal.bsky.social for allowing me to get sassy in Seattle. 🩸
Man with stubble, "Small boats arrivals are 37,000. There are over 4 million kids in child poverty. And 4.5 million who can't get a dentist appointment" #BBCQT "We spend 90% of the media discourse on the 37,000. How much more could we achieve if we put that effort into the 4.5 million?"
