Had a strange dream (a variation of my reoccurring dreams of no one listens to me at work)... I was on the WWE NXT creative team, which consisted of old UK Conservative politicans. All my ideas were shot down and everyone else was obssessed whatever an AI spewed out.
I interviewed Neal Mercer, wrestling's 1st Mauritian wrestler and PWA debutant. Learn about his incredible story of becoming a wrestler despite geography, injuries and the ticking clock of visa uncertainties and what you can expect from 'the Engine' #wrestlesky🤼♂️ lastwordonsports.com/prowrestling...

It's been nice this morning volunteering for a literacy charity I am involved with hosting free outdoor storytelling events for kids. Too much of culture is kept behind a pay wall and in a week where my anxiety has been a snake eating its own tail, it has helped me roll it down the hill. 🎭
Lately it’s broken my heart to see & hear from so many who want to leave the industry, the fandom, etc bc they feel unsafe or unheard. I myself get threats EVERY DAY. Not about only 1 place or 1 person. This is pervasive

I just got to be a debuting PWA wrestler's first interviewer... what a lovely experience and what a privilege. Being able to hear someone's story and help that connect with an audience has been one of thw highlights of this incredible side hustle #wrestlesky🤼♂️
Just going to reshare this as after #AEWDynamite, I have seen plenty more excitement for this match that I've lovingly written a thing about. #AEW

Completed and sent a really difficult to keep short, descriptive outline on what I want for my next tattoo to a bunch of different studios. Sorry but not sorry for being so specific about the vision I have for what I want depicted on my right forearm for the rest of my life
Got up early to do another interview with another member of the Pro Wrestling Australia roster. We talked about their next show, their character arcs and the art of comedy wrestling. What an incredible way to start the day. And another interview to follow on Thursday! #wrestlesky🤼
Hot take: Been watching a lot of Pro Wrestling Australia (PWA) today. I mean this as the biggest compliment to PWA... their match structure, focus on character and story progression does what some WWE adults want from wrestling without the systemic BS and heinous history. #wrestlesky🤼♂️
Saw GCW bringing Drake Younger/Wuertz and apparently he has apologised. This article's still relevant now because it takes more than saying sorry to find redemption. Redemption should possible when appropriate but it should be hard to achieve #wrestlesky🤼 lastwordonsports.com/prowrestling...

It's beyond fair to start questioning why these accusations of plagiarism and AI use disproportionately impact writers of colour. Morons like Matt Goodwin can produce a book using AI and suffer little beyond jokes whereas others lose everything #writingcommunity www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvTR...

Picked up this Scholastic graphic novel from the I Survived series from a library book sale. Having read Jaw's earlier this year and this being for young folks, I was impressed with the warmth, depth and layers of this comic. Another fun summer read #booksky📚💙 #graphicnovel

The restaurant we stopped in on the way home was playing on loop music that made me feel like a NPC in Hyrule. While eating my meal I expected a guy in green to come in and start smashing the pottery for rupees and expected to give him a side quest to find our lost set of keys.
Despite being articulate and thoughtful, some in my family think I can be a bit dense. Wore this shirt while visiting someone in the hospital. Just grabbed it from the cupboard with no thought so I am not beating those allegations any time soon.
The "bad victim" is reductive and misogynistic and regardless of the tribal BS defence used to justify it. This assumption "she must be lying" ignores there's not much for Newell to gain. Unfortunately I know too many woman who've received death threats for much pettier things
Mr. Skippy, If You're Nasty@mrskippy69.myatproto.social · last wk.Also re: Tegan Nox, something that people tend to do is designate someone who acts poorly at any point as a "bad person" and bad things can't happen to a "bad person", because we're justified in disliking them, so if something bad happens they're either lying or deserved it. Esp. marginalized folks
I know people think it’s very funny to make cracks about the BritWres scene but uhhh given the allegations that came out this week can we just fucking agree that men in positions of power tend to become abusive regardless of nationality
David Bixenspan@davidbix.com · last wk.We don't give Chris Brookes enough credit for peacing out to Japan so he never had to deal with Wrestling Nonce Island again.
It's been far too long since I've had a new band or musical artist to become obsessed by. Reading John Lyndon's book pushed me to listen to Public Image Ltd and the hypnotic rhythms, the layers of sound, Lyndon's vocals and lyrics are incredible. I'm hooked #music youtu.be/HURFlF8CyV8?...

Finished Wilfred Owen's poetry today. Tinged in Romanticism and stained by the viseral horrors of war. This edition came with notes that helped me appreicate his intertextuality to his heroes and the bible. An incredible poet taken too soon #booksky💙📚 #poetry

This is awesome, especially because Mercedes Mone is the inspiration and reason Zayda Steel is a wrestler.

Completed another additional chapter for my novel today. It's 💩but that's because it's a 1st draft. A bunch of ideas, semi-planned, semi-pantsed, thrown on the page. When I edit it, I'll find some gold nuggets to buff and mould to fit into the rest of the crown #writingcommunity
