Tragedy enjoyer, opera & film & TV writer, usually thinking about Sondheim. @RottenTomatoes approved, @theOAFFC + @FilmCriticsUK. Views my own, she/her

I ran my fourth half marathon yesterday (in very Glasgow weather!) and the legs are feeling the pain today! I've set up a fundraising page for Refuweegee, a wonderful charity helping people who have been displaced settle in this wonderful Scottish city

September has been a month of very high highs and very low lows so if nothing could happen for the rest of the year I'd appreciate it

Kudos to the student journalists at The Cornell Daily Sun.

This is why journalism matters, at all levels. Keep shining a light on the darkest corners of power.

god I wish this were the case

Almost anybody who goes to the opera more than twice a year and is under 65 is probably some kind of hard left socialist or communist. The working artists have all radicalized and so have the people for whom this art is as necessary as breath.

the speed at which bad/inexpert writing has just been taken over by AI 'writing' is somewhat terrifying

if I had a nickel for every time I was planning my life around a cancelled production of SITPWG I'd have to nickels

Janet. There is no "female event" at parkrun. There is no "women's category". For pity's sake, do some actual research. You are embarrassing yourself.
