As many of you may have noticed, I have quite an obsession with #Shakespeare, but now you’re going to find out just how much! This year, I want to challenge myself, so I’ve set myself the task of performing every piece in Allie Esiri’s Shakespeare For Every Day Of The Year from

A pregnant Muslim woman was kicked in the stomach in a Co-op car park in Milton Keynes. He called her the “f***ing problem with this place,” attacked her “clown clothes”. Hit her with a wine bottle and bag of ice. Kicked her in the stomach twice after she told him she was pregnant She lost her unborn twins. The judge called her attacker a “shabby racist.” A ‘SHABBY’ racist. Not a TERRORIST. Not a MONSTER. He served under 2 years. He’s been walking free since 2020. Samsam Haji-Ali’s twins are still dead. If he’d been Muslim, this would have led every news bulletin as a terror attack. Thirty worshippers were inside the Zainabia Islamic Centre when a petrol bomb was thrown onto the roof. They put out the fire themselves. These attacks didn’t all happen this week. They happened years apart. That’s the point. People forgot. Our system doesn’t. The Women and Equalities Committee’s first-ever inquiry into gendered Islamophobia, published January 2026 (HC 571), documented over 6,000 verified incidents in 2024 — a 165% rise since 2022. 73% of assaults came after the summer riots. 65% targeted women and girls. The Muslim Women’s Network UK surveyed women before and after the riots. Before — 16% feared for their safety. After — 75%. Home Office figures show anti-Muslim hate crimes rose 19% last year. Muslims are the target of 44% of all religious hate crimes. Only 6% result in charges. The government’s Hate Crime Action Plan expired in 2020. No replacement has been published in six years. They let 3 women dressed in burqas strip off to the chants of “take it off” They let hate marches happen across the UK. Anti Islam murals across Northern Ireland. They proscribed Palestine Action as terrorists. And they still refuse to use the word Islamophobia. The system is broken. Every attack in this post is being mapped. Mosques, streets, workplaces.

I cannot believe people like this are in charge. We all saw that horrendous story about those 3 white boys who raped a girl and Judge Nicholas Rowland said “None of you need to go to prison.” What world is SHE living in?! #Equality

The comment section below this is terrifying. #ProtectImmigrants

Boy, do a lot of politicians need to hear this!

The painter and New Yorker contributor David Hockney has passed away, at the age of 88. To celebrate his life and work, here are some of his covers.

Since this is Pride Month and we’ve just had a new Spielberg release, I feel like this is a perfect time for people to remember that he resigned from the national advisory board of the Boy Scouts of America because he disagreed the organisation’s anti-homosexuality stance! 🏳️‍🌈❤️

John Williams’s latest score really is another jewel in his crown. It’s quite different from the grand, soaring themes he’s most famous for. It feels more tender, like The Fabelmans, more intimate. But he still conveys that familial sense of Spielberg wonder! #DisclosureDay

bringing back the hacks clip

After seeing Disclosure Day (which some people are being way too harsh about), I decided to honour the moment by making an official ranking of Spielberg’s incredible filmography! Just to be clear, because all his films are amazing, these are ranked in personal preference.

The all-female revival of Glengarry Glen Ross is an interesting one. They haven’t changed a word of the script, the characters are still referred to as men, they just happen to be played by women, and they’re terrifically played! Indira Varma is outstanding as always.

Only seen the 1st 2 episodes of Cape Fear on AppleTV, but holy shit….give Javier Bardem the Emmy already! I KNEW he was perfectly cast as Max Cady!
