The week that was: Nov 2nd-8th
Halloween at Tivoli
Working on…
One of the pieces in the Things Men Have Said To Me Instead Of Hello collection is a zine called Send Nudes, and in order to promote it, and also as an additional part of the project, we did a particularly terrifying photoshoot (i.e. sans clothing). I’ll share more about this in a future post (and vlog!).
Thinking about…
Being an older female-presenting person on the internet. It’s an interesting experience, for sure, but one I actually find quite liberating. Especially with the audience I have (which seems to consist mostly of other femmes, women, & NBs my sort of age). I feel like we can get away with all sorts of shenanigans once society’s sexual spotlight moves away from us.

The Immortalists - Chloe Benjamin
I loved this. It’s a beautiful sweeping story of four siblings who are told the date of their deaths by a fortune teller when they’re children, and how that knowledge effects their lives. I was ugly crying by the end.
Watching…
I know Halloween is over now but OMG I had to share this wonderful horror(ish) film with you, which has the most endearing (and autistic-coded) protagonist.
One of the reviews I saw after watching it sums it up perfectly: “I'm deeply autistic and if you pretend all of the murder parts didn't happen, it's just a nice kinda relatable comedy drama about a queer neurodivergent woman who likes to help out disabled kids.”
Listening to…
We watched 90s coming of age movie SLC Punk last week, and although I didn’t think the film was that great (apart from the amazing outfits), the soundtrack was FAB and I’ve been listening to it ever since.
