they are trying to overwhelm us. don't let them. we wont give up. we're gonna win. it's going to take awhile, we're gonna get our asses kicked around a little, but we're gonna win. don't let the darkness of the moment blind you from the light of the future (it's so bright! i swear).

didn't think i'd find myself watching the 1993 production of cabaret with alan cumming and adam godley at 2am but here we are i guess www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEdR...

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

fuck you forever Neil Gaiman

I don’t write about it often because I lack the talent of someone like Octavia Butler to do so in a way that is palatable, but, without an unanticipated disruption of some kind, every long-term trajectory I forsee leads to a world with the majority of people living as climate and conflict refugees.

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part. Turns out those scenes were almost bang on. The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

reminder to those of you who have kids - make sure they learn to make friends, otherwise they might end up like this #letterboxd #filmsky

inspiration strikes at the most unexpected moments (mainly at two in the morning after half a bottle of rum) #filmsky

A federal court has ruled that Florida can detransition inmates. Some trans inmates are having estrogen pulled, hair shorn, and put through state-run conversion therapy. This is the cruelty of abandoning incarcerated trans people. The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

don't wanna be rude or anything but if you actually support the racist, transphobic piece of shit film Emilia Pérez, you probably don't deserve art 👍

Kemi Badenoch defends the right to speak freely and air a different point of view, by insisting those who disagree must stop.

Straightening out the continuity in Last Stand of Dead Men and finding one of my favourite, quieter, jokes…

The new episode of #CreatureCommandos is up now on @streamonmax.bsky.social. Last episode before the Season Finale!

started writing a scene-long tangent for a screenplay, accidentally started writing what could very easily be a pilot to a miniseries. i think i'm getting the hang of this whole writing malarkey lol #writersky

Infuriating. I try to remind myself that national politics aren’t the place to invest your focus. But this entire administration has been the most feckless and complicit I can think of. Catastrophically bad in so many ways. Just infuriating.

2024 started bumpy with heartbreak and a realization that I wasn’t living my healthiest life…but rapidly became the best year of my beautiful, full, wild life. I screened THE PEOPLE’S JOKER a bunch of times, went inside the criterion closet, visited Twin Peaks with Wolfie, married the Joker, (cont)

i'm three pina coladas in but this also my last review of 2024 so happy new year i guess #filmsky My ★★★★★ review of I Saw the TV Glow on Letterboxd boxd.it/8fL5tv

2025 resolution: find someone who talks to me the way Ethan Hunt talks about traffic 🥺

Happy New Year. 2024 was a difficult year for transgender people, and yet at the turning of the year, I find myself holding on tightly to the small moments of peace we have right now. 2025 will be difficult, and it is essential that we find space for peace and rest to prepare for it.

A villainous boss. A magical bet. May the best cook win 🧑‍🍳 Heartstopper meets Legends & Lattes in this cosy graphic novel, where Soup must battle her evil boss in a fantastical cooking competition. The Restaurant at the Edge of the World by Oliver Gerlach and Kelsi Jo Silva is out 2 January.

probably my last bit of actual writing for the year. thought i'd talk about my favourite films of 2024, some by friends, some that feel like close friends. some of them scary, some sad, a couple sexy (looking at you Love Lies Bleeding). hope you enjoy #filmsky #writersky medium.com/@ahutchingse...

fucking preach

started work on a piece about my favourite films of 2024. thought i'd share the intro as a little teaser :) #filmsky

I don’t know how many more things I will get to create with the time I have left in this world, but I promise you this… i will make every attempt to make it a collection of obscure oddities your friends won’t have heard of.

only person this doesn't extend to is Ellie Rowsell FYI

RIP Olivia Hussey.

Your annual reminder that there are many reasons to read A Christmas Carol, regardless of your religious views. 1) It's really good. 2) It (like The Sound of Music and some of my other favorite works) is a really great way to screen people for excessive and annoying cynicism.

On this special day, may all your wishes seem momentarily achievable x

Cheeky gift number two: I finally made a list of my favorite songs of the year. From Lola Young to Los Campesinos, Jessie Reyez to Jade Bird, Dream Wife to Duran Duran. I hope you all find something you like!! #musicsky open.spotify.com/playlist/25z...

happy holidays everybody !! got a couple of presents for those interested. firstly, my latest Christmas short story, hastily scrambled because scheduling? what's that? either way, i hope you enjoy #writersky medium.com/@ahutchingse...

I’m cutting Alice’s new movie btw 😊🐍

FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!

Now watching as my last film before Christmas (also while I'm sorting out some other Christmas stuff for whoever's interested). EASILY the best Christmas horror movie, and dare I say the best slasher movie ever made? Incredibly effective and eerie even 50 years later... #filmsky

what is writing if not struggling to find a word for an hour only to remember you wrote it earlier and just completely forgot #writersky

happy third anniversary to one of the best blockbusters this century. god bless you Lana Wachowski. i believe. #filmsky My ★★★★★ review of The Matrix Resurrections on Letterboxd boxd.it/88LFaV

Army of Me by Bjork is a Christmas song and it is about Mall Santas

I think LORD OF THE RINGS being a story in which, canonically, it is entirely possible for evil to triumph in the temporal world, and in fact more likely than not that it will, but also that reality should not change the meaning of your moral values, is an underrated part of what makes it so good.

and he's write. a legitimately tense experience, top three slashers of all time easily (there's a phone call scene later on where we learn just how much the killer's been listening in on people, and it's genuinely the scariest moment of any movie ever i think)

currently rewatching A Fish Called Wanda and i know it's obvious to say but Kevin Kline really DID deserve that Oscar (and not just because he clubs Stephen Fry round the back of the head) #filmsky

please give anything you can, these guys are such a blessing to the film community !! #filmsky cinephiliabeyond.org/donate2024/

THIS makes me think

in fairness you've still got a good couple of days to go so there's still time
