happy Friday from Bernadette Mayer

Dont read the guardian’s interview with Esther Ghey it neglects any discussion of transphobia and instead focuses on the dangers of online in quite a victim-blamy way its quite upsetting to read

Not a drag queen. Not a trans person. Not 'sex'. Rape. Telegraph doing its best to protect children, once again.

It's Friday. It's the shortest amount of time anyone has ever owned a trouser press. youtu.be/tNqn5bKmKNc?...

It’s that time of year again! The Guardian is opening its two-week work experience for underrepresented journalists: disabled people, POC, and now working class. It is paid at the London living wage. This scheme changed my life. Go on, give it a go: workforus.theguardian.com/entry-level-...

Looking for something to listen to this weekend? My Radio Drama Safe Space is now on BBC Sounds! 📻 Based on my experience with agoraphobia and led by Thaddea Graham, we were Pick of the Week in the Radio Times, Mail on Sunday, The Guardian, and The Sunday Times ✨ www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

The High Court has ruled in my defamation case against Graham Linehan, finding that the statements he published were defamatory at common law. Huge thanks to my legal team for their support throughout this process. You can read the full judgment here: caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewhc/kb/2025...

If I was the person who was demanding to gaze at a little kid's junk "for evidence" I don't think people would consider me the good guy tbh. I don't think that's a coach looking out for women and girls and fairness in sport, it feels really really noncey.

Hold up, we're told that brains don't fully develop until we're 25 so trans people can't be transing, but this lot are ok to run a country?

Ofcom's repeated failure to do its job has paved the way for this: GB News airing a series of toxic and inflammatory comments about "some" trans women, describing people as "deviants".

✨ cliché incoming… If I didn’t already know it, this past month has hammered it home. Please don’t ‘save things for best’ or for ‘a rainy day’ USE your nice things everyday, squeeze out ALL the joy, invest in yourself today. ❤️

Move with care. And make things.

Every day I read something that makes me so ashamed of this country. This is what the state should be investing in. Instead of funnelling billions to AI. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My DMs are open for anyone working at the Belfast Trust to get in touch in complete confidence.

Are all the #longcovid people aware that they can contribute to this? @theguardian.com seem to be covering long covid fairly frequently so lets encourage them by ahowing them that a lot of people are affected. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Are the Oscars Scared of Sex? variety.com/2025/film/co...

So so good

It's rare that I'd praise partition but the fact that storms know not to enter His Majesty's occupied six counties should have the Dublin government asking serious questions.

Catch it this afternoon, or afterwards on BBC Sounds! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Mavis Modes Activated! I give her a performance award for Cutest Range!

Channeling Porco Rosso today.

Transmisogyny's cultural function is to construct trans women as a class of un-person against whom no degree of sexual violence, brutality, and social humiliation is unacceptable.

For the sake of the people of Gaza, hoping this means the killing stops. I don't trust Israel to respect any deal. But it has to stop.

January 15th be with you. RHLSTP with the exceptionally funny @dank_ackroyd Ruth Husko is now up in all the usual places shows.acast.com/rhlstp/episo... Clip here www.youtube.com/shorts/ug7By... RHLSTP LIVE richardherring.com/rhlstp Can I Have My Ball Back richardherring.com/ballback/tour

Absolutely buzzing that my Radio drama Safe Space is a Pick of the Week in Radio Times! It’s on next Thursday 23rd Jan at 2.15, and then on BBC Sounds ✨

No one last year gave a performance that comes close to what Marianne Jean-Baptiste does in Mike Leigh’s ‘Hard Truths.’

I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it. TW: rape, abuse, coercion, and child sex abuse.

This is a good prompt to remind everyone for 2025 that you should not give Piccola Parma in East Belfast your patronage because it's run by people who own and wear Neo-Nazi merch and whose mates own and wear Neo-Nazi merch.

Can't believe Just Stop Oil caused all this mayhem 😡

Doesn't feel amazing that a deranged nazi billionaire can tweet about something, and the next day, the Leader of the Opposition is out campaigning on it...

I think the Oasis shows this year might be the final thing that breaks the Edinburgh Fringe for a lot of people. Accommodation prices have been climbing but this year is crazy. It’s a shame as the Fringe is an amazing thing but if people can’t afford to come, it will start to wither and die.

this is the dumbest lie anyone has told on the show. I am obsessed with Charlotte. #Traitors #TheTraitors

Genuinely obsessed with Legend #Gladiators

Shops immediately replacing their festive party-clothes windows with gym and fitness gear before the New Year has even been rung in should be considered an act of violence

Usually really like the Guardian's TV reviews but to me this is v poor ragebait - each one is written like "you know that thing you liked? It was bad actually", with little justification at each turn (especially when many of these shows got good reviews in the Guardian when they first came out!)

I will never forget this. Starmer thinks transphobia is okie doke as long as its polite and you dont offend a cis woman. He has not once condemned the transphobia that killed Brianna outside this. Not once.

Shove your dignity and respect up your arse i want goddamn bodily autonomy and liberation

G&S is not my personal cup of tea and that's fine. Fucking delighted though that as with the ghosts finale last year, the two most watched shows were SCRIPTED COMEDIES. Ffs commissioners, keep investing in it. And in short form scripted as a training ground. 9m didn't watch 2 celebs go on holiday.

An utterly damning and horrific image.

We really need more villains like Oogie Boogie. Just a huge asshole who sings an awesome song about how much they love being a huge asshole.

Merry Christmas to you all. Hope you have a lovely restful day no matter what you’re up to ♥️
