Well that’s my colours well as truly nailed to the mast. Loving my new ink. #equality #nhs #pride #ink #tattoo

Luke Evans - ‘If I didn’t have to take my top off on a movie set, I’d let myself go’ How To Fail With Elizabeth Day · Episode

Listening to the #HowToFailPodcast with #LukeEvans took me back to the 90s. Finding #gay literature gave me a sense I wasn’t alone. My parents burnt 📚🔥 it all too. Hope that this has changed today & positive representation in the media helps young people exploring their identities feel less shame.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We were witness to the most epic battle this evening but SanTa-Rex was no match for the mighty murder mittens of Agatha kitten. #cats
