Astute readers might notice that I’ve watched a fair few things on Netflix recently. I cancelled my subscription last year over the whole Dave Chapelle thing but had to resubscribe because I feel weirdly professionally obliged to watch Bridgerton and then forgot to unsubscribe again because that’s ...

Blue Willow Followup 2
Soooo, because I rambled so much at the actual Blue Willow event I got through even fewer questions than I usually get through. In light of this, I decided to ... well, answer them as best I could, since it felt unfair to me to ask readers to take time out of their lives to ask me questions for me ... Read more »
Blue Willow Follow Up 1
Hello! Thanks to all the lovely people who attended my … Q&A/Talk/Ramble thing at Blue Willow yesterday. Being my usual rambly self (spellcheck is telling me that rambly isn’t a word, maybe it’s supposed to be rambley except it doesn’t like that either) I wound up going off on some huge ... Read more »
Things I Liked – May 2022

There’s a tendency when making a visual medium product with a heroine whose thing is that she’s not ... Read more »
Things I Liked April 2022

Like every so often I’ll be listening to a YouTube video and it will be ... Read more »
The Austathon – Pride and Prejudice (1980)
I watched this series on a DVD that I had to import from the Netherlands and because I haven’t watched a DVD in literal years I couldn’t quite work out how to turn the subtitles off, which meant I wound up restarting the DVD and watching its mandatory intro reel about ten times. As a result, my ... Read more »
Metabridgerton
I vaguely considered writing something about Bridgerton eighteen months ago because it was the big thing in romance at the time and it seemed like every Ambitious Mama and Determined Batchelor on the internet was required to have a take on it, and I kind of didn’t have one. Or rather I did, but ... Read more »
