Hahaha. You do realise she wants to be an actor, and that the Dumb TikTok we filmed together was part of the showreel which secured her her first professional acting role, in a BFI short film?

Having a pint in the local. Just joshing, I’m a LAYDEE! (Three times, in fact.)
This is a pub in our 60% Muslim area of E13. It’s had Pride flags outside since June and they’re still up, along with (now) a big Christmas tree. No one cares, it’s all very live-and-let-live. ❤️🍻

I doubt I'll ever get married again, but if I do, I’m going to elope. Fuck the parents (not literally, though that would make the occasion memorable). open.substack.com/pub/arianesh...

I’ve had more dates than Nigel Farage has said racist things, though most of them didn’t result in any sexual activity. (Some of Nige’s diatribes probably did though, with awful women. Ewww.) So here are my four funniest dating experiences. arianesherine.substack.com/p/four-unbel...

‘Complicity’? In what, a writer thriving and living her best life? Sharing the raw, human and true details of my life behind a paywall may not be to everyone’s tastes, but it’s not hurting anyone. And one anonymous poster does not constitute a majority, so your maths is off.

When was the last time a man was asked if he was being 'classy' by a woman? Women don't go up to men with their shirts off in summer and ask them if they think it's an elegant or decorous way to dress, and we'd rightly get short shrift if we did. But some men think it's OK to police women this way.
