So I have a new website! And with that, I have a new twitter! This account has become a more personal account for friends and family, so here’s the one to follow if you are a theatre-maker, a fellow critic, journalist, or blogger, or if you just want to read my reviews!

[Flora Gosling @FloraGosling]

After over five years of “A Theatre Blog About Theatrey Stuff”, my blog has undergone a makeover! Now all of my reviews, old and new, are going under my name, Flora Gosling, on my brand new website! You check it out at the link in my bio. And stay tuned for more announcements...

@restisents I’ve a question! Can contestants in competition shows request anything they want, eg wagyu beef on masterchef? Or is do they have to fork out for expensive materials/ingredients themselves?

@ScotRail Aberdeen to Glasgow Queen Street?

[Ghost of Floras Past @YesterFlora]

@sethsfilmreview Surely I’m getting the remote

The Mountain Goats are just The Proclaimers if they had a mental breakdown

Do…do Cats Protection know why that phrase is popular?

Begging, screaming, crying for an alarm clock that will wake me up with a bluetoothed song of my choice. How is it that we’re constantly told not to sleep next to our phones but the only alternative hadn’t changed since the 90s?

Anyone else finding the talk around the “enhanced Olympics” weird? Everyone thinks this sounds like a great laugh but no-one seems to care about the athlete’s health?

Me and my Granma got matching tattoos! (She sat like a rock - I did not 😅) #RealestPersonOnEarth

I’d like to put out a hearty fuck you to whoever audibly said “Ew” during the gay kiss in “And Then There Were None” tonight.

@lastdinnerparty and @AURORAmusic arguing in my playlist today

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - nothing made me appreciate my womanhood more than knowing it was a choice. Trans-inclusivity make’s understanding gender better for everyone and it fills my heart with joy reading stories like this

[Ghost of Floras Past @YesterFlora]

Having a surprisingly strong fringe this year! Gonna need the last few shows to be stinkers so I don’t get a reputation for being overgenerous please and thanks x

[Ghost of Floras Past @YesterFlora]

Shouldn’t have to say this but can the men using the bogs at Summerhall, or any unisex toilet for that matter, put the fucking seat down? Honestly who raised you

[Ghost of Floras Past @YesterFlora]

Life as a critic really is just a cycle of promising yourself you’ll write more reviewers tomorrow than you were able to do today and then producing the exact same amount the following day and the next day and so on and so on

@TungusBusko Anyone have screenshots, or a way to find that tweet? Please and thank

[Ghost of Floras Past @YesterFlora]

Sexuality and gender going through phases is valid AF, and it doesn’t undermine that identity one bit if someone decides a label isn’t for them ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[GC Biphobia @GCBiphobia]

As an actual Bisexual: keep us out of your bigotry Sara.
And if someone identifies as bisexual to try it on if you will and later decides they're straight?
As an actual bisexual idgaf because it doesn't invalidate me or my sexuality in the slightest.

@braden_meden @OnstageBlog Dude this is absolutely not the occasion for “credit where credit’s due”. The world is full of good writers, you don’t get points for that if what you’re writing is incredibly fucking racist.

@stefsmith I often go for a little walk around the building I’m in, and other times find different places to sit from where I usually do until I’m ready to go back to my laptop (which is easy when you spend most of your time in a big library)
