Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.
She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.
I’m sorry, you’re telling me Dungeness isn’t in Scotland. Are you high? It’s the most Scottish sounding place I’ve ever heard of. Get it moved! x
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
Having had an abundance of choices of where to go next, I settled on writer Frank Pierson to take us to Cool Hand Luke (1967)

GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.
Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?
How likely does that sound? 🤷♀️
Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'
Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

Poster for Hotel Artemis featuring three orange graded panels with multiple character shots inside
Now watching for @twppod.bsky.social: Hotel Artemis (2018). We got here through Jenny Slate, who starred in last week's film, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.
Ironically the BBC stumbled on a really important story: Desperate asylum seekers being forced to turn to fraudulent fee-charging “advisors” to navigate a system that is intentionally impossibly baroque and from which all sources of free advice have been removed.
But no: they chose Fake Gay Panic.

Now watching: Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2021) for @twppod.bsky.social This is a wonderful jump from Blue Velvet via Isabella Rossellini.
My podcast, Transatlantic Watch Party, went in a fun new direction a couple of months ago. Thread below takes you through my six degrees-ish journey through film with @danwatchesmovies.bsky.social

If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.
Look, if cis folks aren't gonna give us a break, we will just have to sieze the means of break production
"We have to separate the art from the artist," I tell you, explaining the goal of this heist.
Drop a film that traumatised you as a child.
This is a dance off! If you see this, post a dance 💃🏻💃🏻
I've barely seen any of Paul Newman's work, so it's about time for me to watch this!
David Borenstein at the Oscars slams the Trump administration,
"Mr. Nobody Against Putin, is about how you lose your country"
"You lose it through countless small little acts of complicity"
"When we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities"
My mum loves daffodils, snowdrops and bluebells, quoting Gilbert and Sullivan, Nicola Walker, Olivia Colman, and murder mysteries.
Cannot wait to talk about this absolute classic on @twppod.bsky.social
“She’s the exception, I am the rule.”
Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bell’s detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!
So. Many. Dogs!

Had such a good time with this!
Is he trying to... sneak up on the fire? 😆
Ok, let’s do this🙄
We’ll start with an explainer covering:
🕒What is a 15-minute city
🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford
👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from
And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article

They have no idea what “protection” really means
Kate Bevan @katebevan.com also, we should pay MPS more. Make it more worth their while to do their actual jobs and not constantly be on the lookout for shady side-hustles. 11:00 AM Jan 21, 2026
This cherished tenet of Sensiblism is obv such utter rubbish. Those motivated by money never or v v rarely ever say: "know what? I'm wealthy enough. I'll stop there". Cos enough is *never* enough for the greedy. If we paid MPs more they'd simply pocket the pay rise & continue with the side hustles
Rocky has a real... hang-up about where his bag ends up. (Apologies. All complaints to @karamclean.bsky.social) #MovieSky #FilmSky #Rocky #SylvesterStallone
