@ElisabethRappe Pride and Produce?

And now I’m just flattered I’ve been cast in a grocery store Pride and Prejudice.

I work with a young woman, 18, who is a version of me if I’d been religious and conservative. She’s the only person who has read as many “stuffy” classics as I have. 1/

As a child bereaved by fatal domestic abuse, headlines calling a man who killed three women a “nice guy” and “normal person” have felt personally traumatic. The media called my father a “gentle man” and “nice chap”, which misrepresented the controlling reality that myself and my family experienced for years. It compounded our trauma. Reporting like this causes so much damage – both to victims’ families, and to public understandings of coercive control. It has to stop. Now. We need every single newsroom trained in how to report domestic abuse deaths, and to lobby the regulator for stronger rules. The press has the power to prevent further deaths and save women’s lives. Please support this crowdfunder I’ve started to support @we_level_up’s crucial work to train journalists in their Dignity For Dead Women guidelines. This takes all of us ➡️ gofundme.com/f/levelup-media

does it cost extra to share it with family

@JoanneBurtonMe Closer than your last trip home from athletics but still annoying!

Meant to be landing at London City Airport but been diverted. Now at Stanstead. Don't know why. Apparently LCY weren't accepting any arrivals 😬

@mrdaveturner @Scriblit Thanks to the recommendation I went looking for them on kindle. I now think Amazon may be fundamentally broken... This three book series consists of two books, 1 and 3? 😖

@Scriblit I see Wish You Weren’t Here is no. 1 in horror comedy on Amazon. Yay! I’m going to take some credit as I recommended it to my newsletter readers last night. Pushed my books down the chart though. Didn’t think that through.

@anjaylajones Putting this on a, "may I borrow it"? list

@Kingcast19 @carlagugino @FANGORIA Oh my, yes. Happy Christmas indeed!

Heads up: next week on THE KINGCAST, the iconic @carlagugino joins us to discuss her work in Mike Flanagan's THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, the making of GERALD'S GAME, and more! This one's a barnburner, folks. Avail everywhere next Wednesday via the @FANGORIA Podcast Network.

@anjaylajones @BFI Great Scott!

@adrycoolwit That's amazing! Congratulations 🎉

For posterity's sake, I decided to take a picture of me signing my first TV writing contract—it's for a locally produced true crime series.

@scottEmovienerd Throw 'em away, they're ruined!

@anjaylajones Top notch gif work! 🙂

@baddestmamajama Baked Alaska?

Me: Any last hints? Him: supposed to be like a mushroom Me:

My husband just asked me if he bake a surprise for me for our anniversary next weekend and the only hint he’ll give me is “I bought a lot of eggs.”

@JoanneBurtonMe Oh no!

Make that 48 hours 😩

On a plane on the runway at Budapest airport. After almost 3 weeks away from home I am hours from hugging my family. And have just been told UK airspace is shut. We could be here for 12 hours. So we sit on the plane and wait.

@JacobSHall Shelbyville _and_ Hitchhiker quotes... I'm in!

“The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't” is the greatest sentence ever crafted in the English language. Writing peaked with Douglas Adams. All downhill from there, really.

@PhantomPeakUK in London is a fantastic, immersive experience that melds steampunk, escape rooms and live action role play. Awesome time this afternoon!

@reellebowski Told a colleague I was going to watch Scream. She replied, "I couldn't believe there was two killers." 🤦‍♂️

@anjaylajones Very early preparation for Era tour?

@jonrog1 @Zoom Surely movie studios can now just get Zoom to write their scripts off a discussion? They love AI so much they won't have a problem with someone using their data too... Right?

Churchfields recycling centre in #beckenham seems to be on fire again... Webcams show fire engines present and a lot of smoke
