I commissioned Kaija to some editing for me a while ago and was very happy with their work. If you need editing at an affordable price, look no further.

Not gonna lie, I'm desperate. Between Covid & my health scare, my editing list has dried up. I'm trying to rebuild.
Can't afford professional editing?
Make me an offer sale.

We should never have left ERASMUS at all. Agreement to continue participation was in place and it was only pulled at the last minute in an act of spite by Boris Johnson personally. But, I'm glad to see this agreement and hope that the £570m is uncontroversial.

No one’s rich like Gaston
That’s the pitch for “Gaston”
No one’s complex and tragic yet kitsch like Gaston
He’s a circle that begs to be squared
It’s a tentpole, a four-quadrant hit
Yes his backstory’s moving and layered
And it’s starring a CGI de-aged Brad Pitt

Sad news this morning. This is Spinal Tap and The Princess Bride are two of my all-time most loved films. RIP Rob Reiner & Michelle Singer Reiner. 🥺

Yup.
Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

Gladiator at a sold out showing in Galway - entire audience stunned into silence at the end. Felt like a massive congregation leaving a funeral, so many drawn faces, could have heard a pin drop, even in the car park. Hairs on the back of my neck were standing up, never felt anything like that.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Gronda! Gronda! THE ADVENTURE GAME (1980) saw celebs try to escape from the planet Arg. Each episode culminated with the Vortex, a pulsating column of light which 'evaporated' the likes of Bonnie Langford and Richard Stilgoe. Don't worry, kids, they're not dead. Doogy Rev!

Can someone explain the reason that The Times, a former newspaper of record ffs, and Joshua Bratt decided to misgender this person - who, by all accounts, has by this point fully transitioned - throughout the piece? Is it some sort of right-wing journalist dare now to disrespect people for clicks?
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

Facebook is unbelievably toxic. I mean, WTAF?!
"The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide ... in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms."
