I’m happy to share that after 5 months of the horror that is unemployment and the job hunt due to redundancy, I’m finally starting a new position this month as Digital Marketing Manager!

Time to get my life back on track and move on towards a brighter future!

Film poster for The Fantastic 4 First Steps

Just got back from #Fantastic4 #FirstSteps with @ntom64.bsky.social! A really solid film. Easily the best film version of these heroes to date. Very much Sue's film for better or worse, but the entire cast are brill and I can't wait to see them in Doomsday. 😊

Congratulations screen for Mario Kart World

Very glad to finally be in a position where I can feel comfortable getting a #Switch2 which means I can finally enjoy some #MarioKartWorld! Absolutely adored that Rainbow Road too! Stunning!

Oh how time flies! Today is Milo's Gotcha Day! 4 years ago today he came home with me. A small, shy little pupper with the most adorable face. Little did I know what a special dog he'd grow into and I wouldn't be without him. He's my bestest boy and always will be. ❤️

We Continue - A Poem for Expedition 33 - Richard Kish Yesterday I completed the phenomenal Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. On reaching the end, I was inspired to write a poem to capture its essence.

I was so inspired by #ClairObscurExpedition33 from @sandfallgames.bsky.social that I wrote a poem to capture the essence of the message I took from this stunning game: We Continue.

I hope you enjoy.

So Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is exceptional. Just beaten it and it's an early #GOTY contender. A sublime world, soundtrack, characters, game and a truly mature and philosophical exploration of grief, community, love, and perseverance. Cannot praise @sandfallgames.bsky.social enough!

Two poems in 30: A Year of Poems by Richard Kish

Two poems I wrote last year to mark the closing of the production of Avenue Q I was in.

Just two of many I wrote throughout the process that ended up in 30: A Year of Poems (amzn.eu/d/hmpNpKP). 😊 Miss my Q-Fam loads!

#poems #PoetrySky #writer #WriterSky

Fingers crossed!

Finally watched #TheWildRobot. What a phenomenal film. And I am now an emotional mess. Wonderfully animated, and a fantastic look at purpose, family, and the importance of community. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a great film right now. #FilmSky #FilmReview

Can't quite believe that I graduated from @christscollegecam.bsky.social 10 years ago today. I'm not quite where I thought I'd be all these years later, but I'm still so proud of my degree and will be forever grateful for my time there and all that I learned and the people I met.

The stage adaptation of Frozen isn't perfect, and certain changes, cuts, and acting choices don't work as well as they should; but it's a big old Disney musical on stage and the proshot captures that magic. Bravo to the cast and crew! ❄️ #FrozenTheMusical

So glad I could experience #FrozenTheMusical again thanks to the proshot. I will never forget the joy of Samantha Barks belting Let It Go so close to my face and this is a stunning way of keeping the show alive for posterity.

I can relay that you performed exceptionally well and the panel were happy with your interview, there was just unfortunately, a slightly stronger candidate on the day.

Even performing 'exceptionally well' at interview isn't enough to get a job right now. Currently feeling utterly defeated.

Just got to the end of Act 1 of #ClairObscur #Expedition33 and holy hell that was traumatic. 😳 This game does not pull any punches in its story and it is truly something powerful even at this point. #WeContinue

A poem for #PrideMonth about our missing history and the things we don't get taught about queer people through the centuries. I hope you enjoy!

Been very out of the gaming loop since I got made redundant. Feels weird not playing on a Switch 2 with everyone. Still, I finally got #ClairObscurExpedition33 yesterday and what an impressively melancholy and powerful prologue. Can't wait to see what else it has in store!

The Language of Queerness - Richard Kish June is Pride Month. As a writer, language matters to me. Words have meaning. So let's discuss the language of queerness.

June is #PrideMonth. As a writer, language matters to me. Words have meaning. So let's discuss some of the language around queerness and educate.

Ncuti Gatwa was a fun Doctor and these last two series have had some great concepts and some great characters and moments, but the overall execution has fallen flatter than everything that came before and is a disservice to the hardworking cast and crew. What a shame. #DoctorWho

a close up of a man 's face with a disney logo Alt: The Doctor staring sternly at the camera

Just watched the #DoctorWho finale and what an absolute mess it was. Nothing made sense, so many storylines went nowhere, and when they were gunning for emotions I was as cold as ice. Didn't help having the two big reveals spoiled by the BBC and official Doctor Who channels themselves. 🫤

I will continue to advocate for trans people. I will continue to advocate for equality and inclusion for all. It's common sense and the right thing to do. Dehumanising others and removing rights is wrong in every capacity. If only some writers could learn the morals from their very own books.

If I had the money Rowling has earned and continued to earn over the years, I would use it for something worthwhile like funding research into cures for cancer and dementia, solving homelessness, or even just becoming a patron to amateur theatre companies and aspiring writers. Such a sad waste.

J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization This is where "Harry Potter" profits are going.

There is a reason I refuse to give this woman any of my money (or generally attention). This continued attack on trans rights is horrific. Her obsession with the genetalia of about 1% of the global population is beyond ludicrous.

In the last update, @theyetee.com stated that production of the physical comic book and the artbook were ready. That was 24 June 2024. An update on 16 June 2023 stated the full physical OST was ready to be shipped but was waiting on the comic & artbook. Will the next update be June 2025?

Did you know, it's been 5 years since #TheWonderful101Remastered had it successful Kickstarter and backers are still awaiting a lot of rewards. It has been nearly 1 year since the last update from @theyetee.com and PlatinumGames. It's a shame their legacy continues to be tarnished by this disgrace.
