Dr Strange and The Multiverse of Madness

Dr Strange and The Multiverse of Madness

I've been a huge fan of the MCU for years now so it's no surprise that I was excited for second Dr Strange film which I was able to see recently thanks to Adam being gifted cinema vouchers for his birthday.

I missed out on watching Spiderman No Way Home when it was in the cinema so, thanks to Amazon, I watched that before the film. I'd also ... Read more

Getting Back into Blogging

Like everyone I have found the last couple of years completely out of my depth and as such I have struggled to maintain doing something I love, and have loved, for years.

Happy International Women’s Day 2022 #BreakTheBias

Happy International Women’s Day 2022 #BreakTheBias

I want to make it absolutely clear that as a feminist, I celebrate International Women's Day for all women, trans folk and the lgtbq+ community because women's rights globally have a huge impact on minorities. I feel this as a queer person who has continuously questioned their gender identity and sexuality which is surrounded in gender based bias, especially as one that has been in straight-passing relationships for most of her adult life. I write this for folks that have experienced ... Read more
