Look, I get that it was inevitable that Stephen Fry would receive a knighthood, but maybe don't specify it's in part for services to mental health awareness considering he told child sexual assault survivors to "grow up" and called them self-pitying.

I’m sorry, are you not handed a pencil twice a decade?! Do you not go into the little booth and do the colouring in?! I suppose I was just imagining all those times I went to the local primary school and chose the person I wanted to fix nothing?!

And here, in a nutshell, is why the UK creative industries are dying. The big idea? Tax relief for film studios who host US and HETV productions where ALL the money goes elsewhere. There’s no ‘growth’ in a zombie industry and that’s all we’ve got left. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

“The arts is worse than other sectors because there’s a wider narrative that you do these jobs because you love them, rather than for the money.” 🎯 It’s not a hobby. It’s a job. You want more working class folk in the arts? Pay them. theguardian.com/culture/2025/f…

🚨 Stop AI stealing the show 🚨 Our campaign is making a difference, but we must keep up the pressure!

The hero we need NOW is coming... No capes. No corruption. Just radioactive justice. THE TOXIC AVENGER is spilling ONLY IN THEATERS 8.29.25 ☢️ #ImWithToxie

Y’all play dumb about what “sex work is work” really means, bc as long as you keep the focus on “is sex work a legitimate job” rather than “do sex workers deserve to be safe,” it gives you carte blanche to treat us with cruelty.

So lemme get this right, ill kids who feel like a burden are going to be allowed #AssistedDying whilst at the same time Rachel Reeves is going round saying young people on benefits are a "stain on this country"

Disgusting. You have to reguarly prove you're still autistic for PIP but assisted suicide was considered because it's a permanent condition. We're trying to reduce the ⬆️ risk of suicide for autistic people, but this message just perpetuates stigma that our lives are worth less.

Why do the government keep saying there is ‘no consensus from experts’ on what is increasing the number of people on #PIP? Literally every expert recognises long delays for treatment are worsening disability which becomes entrenched more with lack of early care.

Radio 3 just now: “1,000 job coaches to be recruited to get the long-term unemployed back to work. Critics say only a small proportion will succeed.” No, critics say this can be done more cheaply outside the DWP—without the carceral threats that drive people to suicidality.

the gag is soooo many cis straight women will come into queer spaces because they feel safer but they haaaaate extending that same openness the other way around

Labour’s reported disability benefit cuts are not just about budgeting but a belief: paid work is a virtue (and people who don’t perform it deserve a worse life than everyone else). My col. in tomorrow’s paper. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Got a new show coming up as part of Tin Shed Theatre Co. Newport Fringe. It's called THE ALL-STAR NUCLEAR WASTED PETROLEUM CHUNDER HYDROCARBON HANGOVER. It's all about gambling with our apocalypses. You won’t see the end of this show. youtu.be/DMqwcUSGnpw?si…

Clowns are gathering! Are you coming to play? - mailchi.mp/hollystoppit/c…

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting. This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity. These cuts are disgraceful - and will cost lives.
