How I arrived on Bluesky

Outer voice: SIR, ARE YOU ILL?

Inner voice:

A mortal being would have died on the spot at the sound. Incredible. Stealing it for whenever I encounter The Audacity.

The best line in the whole movie is in response to Count Dracula saying something incredibly racist (the mask was definitely off for The Count) when William Marshall booms in his incredible bass, “SIR, ARE YOU ILL?”

Gawd I wish this movie existed

I don’t feel empty. Yet, I don’t feel full. There’s room for Scream Blacula Scream

I did indeed deserve this

William Marshall just oozes charisma and menace and yearning and longing. And THAT VOICE

RIP Count Dracula you would have loved The Board of Peace

Me, watching Blacula

Finally watching Blacula to distract myself from the horrors

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

Gisèle Pelicot on rape, courage and her ex-husband: ‘He was loved by everyone. That’s what is so terrifying’ The case against her former husband shocked the world, while her response inspired awe. As she publishes a memoir, she discusses chemical submission, the abuse hidden within her apparently perfect marriage – and why she decided to go public At Gisèle Pelicot’s new home on Île de Ré off France’s Atlantic coast, she likes to take bracing walks along the beach in all weathers, play classical music loud, eat nice chocolate and, as a gift to each new morning, always set the table for breakfast the night before. “It’s my way of putting myself in a good mood when I wake up: the cups are out already, I just need to put the kettle on,” she says. But one of her most treasured possessions is a box of letters she keeps on her desk. The envelopes from across the world – some sent on a prayer, addressed only with her name and the village in Provence where she once lived – piled up at the courthouse in Avignon in southern France in late 2024, when she became famous worldwide as a symbol of courage for waiving her right to anonymity in the trial of her ex-husband and dozens of men he had invited to rape her while she was drugged unconscious.

I bet she made him do his own laundry because she saw right through his attempts at weaponised incompetence.

I always wondered what their home life was like. Did she read Columbo better than he read every single criminal? What did he tell her about his job? She sounded happy; what was her secret?

Delighted to see Mrs Columbo made the top three. What a woman.

I used to think the men that did things like this were merely uneducated, but after 30+ years of being around men, I can tell you that *they know* what they’re doing and they’re counting on your empathy, your forgiveness, your grace. Give them nothing but your contempt.

Don’t @ me with “But I don’t do this!” “I had daughters and I am appalled” I don’t care. Talk to your male friends, say, “This is fucking gross, any man who does this needs to get his head checked”. Performative males need not pretend to be shocked. Talk to your boys. Do the work.
