I absolutely adore how much Francesca loves her papa. This is the most wholesome relationship in film that I’m aware of, and I adore that I gain regular glimpses into their fun.
Martin Scorsese and his daughter Francesca read Letterboxd reviews and guessed which Scorsese movie they were about.

Good news for me, if true.
People who consumed 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine a day were less likely to develop coronary heart disease, Type 2 diabetes or stroke.

There should be more funding in education against transphobic bullying and trans safe spaces in schools in Brianna’s name. But with slow push to bring back section 28 they stuck the response to her murder onto a school policy they had planned already
Phones did not murder Brianna Ghey in cold blood.

The BBC withdrew from the Stonewall workplace scheme in 2021. Absolute lies
The language is word-for-word from gender-critical campaigning…
“Captured by Stonewall.”
“Trans agenda.”
“Biological sex, not gender identity.”
This isn’t media ethics, it’s an op-ed straight from the ‘Sex Matters’ / Transgender Trend’ playbook! 😖

By being based in London and Manchester (Salford), the BBC employs large numbers of LGBTQ Staff to whom it owes a duty of care including respect and safety. And also, we pay the fucking licence fee. (well for the moment)

maybe she was on her phone so much because offline her peers were excluding, harassing, assaulting and trying to kill her? if she didn't have phone it's possible she would have died earlier, at least online she had a community.

Just a late night reminder that if you’re getting into the films of Mira Nair, she’s one of the interview subjects of my book CINEMA HER WAY, which is still in stores now and would make a great Christmas gift.

To be clear, folks who grew up in nature definitely get on a mystical nature kick but it sounds totally different. A forest isn't a place they associate with peaceful serenity, it is a place where life and death weave an invisible dance connecting everything past and present; powerful but dangerous.
You can always tell when folks who didn't grow up in nature are getting into a mystical nature kick because they talk about forests like they're these serene, perfect, peaceful places. No friend, nature is scary and tense as fuck and you're looking at a place where things live and die BY THE MINUTE.
