THE HANDS SPELL “ED. @david_jenkins__ you are truly trying to kill us all, and I love it. #OurFlagMeansDeath #ofmds2
Wrecking your ship in 2023.
Just watched #ThorLoveAndThunder and I thought it was excellent! Funny, emotional, and the action was so well done. 😄
Just had an incredible conversation with actor @damientgerard about the importance of fanfiction, the #OurFlagMeansDeath fandom, and more for an upcoming article we’re writing. Can’t wait to share the final piece with you all!😄

A tad late, but thought it appropriate to retweet our own blog post about @OurFlagHBOMax on #OurFlagMeansDeathDay! Really hoping to see this gorgeous show renewed & couldn’t agree more with the sentiment that it’s more than just a show - it’s art, and it’s changing lives ♥️

Pride month may be over, but at AvidBards, we celebrate #Pride all day every day. Check out our latest blog post to read about why we want to see more intersectional queer stories in TV and film. 🌈 avidbards.com/2021/07/02/int…
Thanks @sarahshaffi & @PenguinUKBooks for this lovely chat about 📚 & reading
I chatted to @benbarnes about his literary loves ahead of the release of #shadowandbone, and ended up writing my favourite piece ever (yes, it knocked books to read based on your favourite Quality Street off the top spot): penguin.co.uk/articles/2021/…

‘There’s a discrepancy between the hustle culture Im discussing – normalised unrelenting busyness and hustle-porn – and those who need to work extra jobs ans excessive hours in order to make ends meet.’ 🙌 @PenguinUKBooks
This year, the #Oscars have been postponed to April 25. Last year, we wrote this article about the systemic whiteness and lack of diversity within awards ceremonies. What are your thoughts on institutions like @TheAcademy? avidbards.com/2020/02/10/202…
