Just watched #Imstillhere What a movie, and brilliantly acted (especially Fernanda Torres - understated but acute), directed, and filmed. It should win all the awards. Magnificent. Totally absorbed from start to finish. Ray of hope - dictatorships are eventually overthrown.

Massive hug to every trans American who is going through hell right now.

When the task of the day is clearing out the cellar. Oh the brick dust. Buried memories. My first ever SLR manual camera (I'm old) with lenses & filters, all my darkroom equipment from the days when I understood exactly what it took to make a photo, not just point my phone camera

Sorry no, but well done you. To be associated with a play of such brilliance 👏👏

Just been to see #Oedipus with Mark Strong and Lesley Manville. Astonishing performances. I have seen stellar acting before but they were off the scale !!

When life is stressful and full on (which it has been all year) my secret vice is listening to sapphic romance fiction. And I just want to say how much I appreciate the way sapphic authors support each other on here, bigging up each other's work. This is a lovely generous community.

Double duvet applied. Snuggly warm. But getting out of bed in the morning....🥶

Well that was a surprise to wake up to North London

It is my understanding that a wait for heterosexual couples is to see if they can manage it on their own. You can wait a century and lesbians won't be able to. No sperm (spelt out for those at the Daily Mail who seem to have no idea). It simply acknowledges basic biology, it's not 'queue' jumping.

My next credit !

Oh, thanks for the heads up Mel. Will take a look.

The way fanfic reads her anyway.....

An autumnal walk in Highgate Woods to remind ourselves that there is still beauty in the midst of the cruelty that surrounds us

Already used my monthly Audible credit to download one ! Thanks for posting this list.

Yes please !

Watching Partygate. Brings it all back. Sickening. Reminds me how loathsome our government is. And how noble our NHS was. I know who is deserving of a pay deal, and it sure aint a Tory Downing Street.

The moon tonight

Multiculturalism is not a failure. It is a strength. That some born of it are too blind to see that, is their failure, not that of multiculturalism. @suelllabraverman does not speak in my name, nor in the name of decent people
