Thanks Cathy!

Very excited to attend this year’s @cineredis.bsky.social! I’ve been commissioned to write about the incredible and also absolutely devastating Looking for Mr Goodbar (1977), so keep an eye out for that in the coming months. Possibly Diane Keaton’s best performance.

ICYMI and are interested in horny messaging 🙃

On Advertising, AI, and A Series Of Unfortunate Branding Decisions I’m spending a lot of my time at the moment digitising old family photos. By old, I mean a pleasingly random selection spanning from the…

🔴New blog post! I wrote about the weird and wonderful branding on old photography packaging I've found when digitising family photos. Also touches on my deep hatred of AI. 4 minute read! medium.com/@daisywrites...

Something of the Lars Von Triers in Levinson’s increasingly normal attitude towards women bleeding through

Euphoria worked well as a high school drama. Whatever this is is not working well lol

Doing a final ICYMI on this piece before I lay it to rest. It’s a really interesting little microcosm that much of the criticism missed the subtleties of.

Update: had to take a break from leafletting

Out leafletting in Lambeth for the Myatts Fields @lambethgreenparty.bsky.social candidates.

Seen lots of people saying they liked it so maybe I just hate joy etc but I have a very finely tuned American humour detector, and that mixed with the boring millennial cringe just makes it completely unwatchable for me.

Finding SNL UK deeply unfunny. Just really embarrassing stuff

Wonderful things happening on LinkedIn. If anyone wants to actually read my article, here it is: medium.com/@daisywrites...

The MAGA Theory of Art At the movies, the Third Reich and the Republican Party seem to converge if you squint.

“Just as Weimar and Nazi films pandered to white-collar workers who refused to confront a new economic reality, evangelical films pander to a rural class that clings to an outmoded notion of small-town affluence—and thereby to a bygone socio-economic order.” www.artnews.com/art-in-ameri...

I too like to start my op eds with conversations I’ve overheard from kids’ playgrounds

“The fact that machines can generate meaning in the first place is an existential curiosity.”

No they can’t, and no it isn’t. Idiot behaviour.

I am aware I’m falling for ragebait here, but nonetheless, this is just insane. Instead of examining the art-commerce dialectic, Marche opts for a cynical false equivalence based on his own disinterest in engaging with art. Not surprised he’s so keen on AI with that attitude.

Rule Britannia: Structural Violence and Family Values in Heel (2025) Hello! Just a couple of quick things before you start. Much as I think spoiler warnings are infantalising, I don’t want strangers on the…

Ahh that’s interesting. I didn’t get that so much, I didn’t think anyone really came off well at the end (except poor Jonathan, who I want to adopt)

Thanks as ever to @jwsal.bsky.social for reading it over for me. I haven’t written in quite a while, so I was glad to be able to spit this one out.

Thanks for the tip goes to my invaluable anonymous source, Bara

Activists occupied NHS England’s HQ yesterday in protest of restrictions on gender affirming care, and the media coverage from what I can see is exactly zero.

Noted

This isn’t me obnoxiously saying I don’t believe you lol just that I can’t find mentions/coverage

Imagine wanting to work in finance 😭

Industry is my favourite new horror series. Just absolutely bone-chilling stuff. I’ve met these people! They are awful irl too!

Does it devalue timely and beautifully crafted art to reduce it to Peep Show screenshots? Yes. Will I stop doing it? Probably not
