I delivered a feature film script - after months of work - to a WGA signatory company in May. It's now July & I STILL haven't been paid. The toll this kind of thing takes on our mental health as writers is profound. What may just be administrative delays for a company has genuinely cost me my summer

I love how Black Holes are basically the same as death. We know they are there, that they are inevitable. but no one alive will ever know what’s inside. To know what’s inside, you’ll have to die. And no one alive can ever know death. “Every answer is a form of death” John Fowles

ORIGINAL SIN, my latest short film, is playing the #BFILondonFilmFestival & #AestheticaShortFilmFestival this fall in the UK - I purged this one from my guts, it's my Almodóvarian nightmare come to life! So proud of it!

Not Thames Water writing me that I owed an extra 3k this year because I'd "used the equivalent of 6000 baths of water in three months" because of a nonexistent leak, me then fighting for a meter reading, and them then being like "yeah OK you only owe £25 a month" xx capitalism xx

99% of the reason I love Grindr threesomes is because you’re walking into the room knowing at least one human has already found each person you’re about to fuck attractive xx

Just bought something off a gift registry to celebrate a straight friend's upcoming baby. I really do think queers should be able to create gift registries for seemingly incredible milestones: "3 years in and he finally spent the night! Here's a wish list of Prada loafers," u no?
