Probably best described as a pragmatic socialist, trans-inclusive feminist, proud LGBTQ+ ally, passionately pro rejoin EU, multi-cultural lover, fan of all the arts, Spurs fan, quite sweary, cat fosterer, old enough to take no shit. WOKE.

Last year, the studio I work in ran a game of Traitors in the run up to Christmas on Gchat. They've asked me to make an app out of it. I think it works but I need someone to test it for me. If you think you can get a group together to play it and fancy being a test Claudia for me let me know…

My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"

Basically Badenoch has just told the North, the Midlands, the South West, Scotland, Wales and N Ireland to go fuck themselves. Her policies are aimed at the well off and very rich in London and the South East. Well at least she isn’t trying to pretend anymore.

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

Not a dicky bird about thugs trying to sink a dinghy with a rescue worker on board or their claims to be "forming an army". Two boats of people seeking safety land and bingo bango they're the ones portrayed as the issue. Labour is complict in the rise of the far right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

bbc.co.ukHome Secretary hits out at 'unacceptable' migrant landings in KentUsually brought ashore by Border Security Command or the RNLI, these are the first uncontrolled landings since 2025.

If you’ve never seen Hidden Figures, you absolutely must. If you’ve seen it before, watch it again. Fab film, amazing performances, important history.

Hidden Figures starts at 6.20 on Film4, if you'd like to be reminded of the key role black women mathematicians and 'computers' played in the Apollo missions. One of those films I really struggle to turn off if I see five minutes of it. #FilmSky
