We loved @michaelcragg’s new book Reach For The Stars from @nineeightbooks. It’s an oral history of the one of the greatest eras the world has ever seen - UK pop music at the turn of the millennium, natch. Catch our review at the link in the bio and the book in all quality bookstores from today!
“As the saying goes, when you accuse your fave celebrity of queerbaiting, they’re not going to see your tweet but your closeted bi+ friends will.”
“To reference the book series that famously fell from the sky authorless, it was like love and romance were magic and I was the only muggle in the world.”
“It would have been obvious where Doctor Who was heading if Yaz’s crush was male.”
Lesbians? In OUR theatre??BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER: THE MUSICAL at @turbinetheatre is a long-overdue gay old time 🏳️‍🌈
