New book day! Needed something to read for my trip to London!
Especially excited for Brigands & Breadknives, I love the Legends & Lattes series so much, and now more so than ever I need something comforting and cosy.
Herculine was a gift from my friend Matthew.

Lux took me out to Queer Lit followed by pre-birthday drinks in the gay village. I had a really fun time. Life has been pretty hard lately, it was good to get away and forget about all the bs for an evening.

Another fantastic day of filming for The Moon is a Hologram! We shot with the incredible India Willoughby @indiawilloughby.bsky.social and the very talented Jay Giblin. Only three more scenes left to shoot!

I’m coming to #London #Manchester #Edinburgh and #Glasgow touring a book on the long history of #transgender people and the fight for #LGBTQ rights against Nazis in the #Weimar. I’m a journalist, an author, a TV host, a PhD, a podcaster. Interview me. Let’s annoy #TERFS @theguardian.com any takers?

This week I have officially begun working on the soundtrack to the new Selene Kapsaski (Spidarlings) feature film The Moon is a Hologram. It's throwing me back to the decade I first entered a recording studio... kinda nice x

In 1959, a young John Waters posted announcements on telephone poles of his Baltimore neighbourhood to advertise his puppet shows. He made as much as $50 a week doing puppet shows.
