Please feel free to report this group and do anything possible to limit their attacks on vulnerable people. I can’t quite believe anyone has the degree of hate required to invest so much time and energy into such puerile, vitriolic behaviour, but here we are. Please help. 3/3

… every review. It is targeted and threatening behaviour which amounts to stalking and harrassment. Given that I’ve just come through a year of surgery and chemo and need all my energy to try to heal and return to life and the world, it is a disgustingly low act … 2/3

I’ve just been targeted on Facebook by a group with the charming title ‘The gaystapo are groomers and grubs’. I suspect this is due to my very vocal allyship of friends like @ReubenKaye. They are trolling through every post - going back decades - every comment, every post … 1/2

What todays Supreme Court rulings mean for the LGBTQ community and it’s supporters: Someone walks into your business with a MAGA hat on…no service. Someone walks in with a gun hanging from their hip…no service. Someone walks in wearing transphobic merch…no service.

Such an honour - it really does feel like flying to sing with this brilliant orchestra.
We’re still soaring after last week’s performances of The Music of Hans Zimmer, particularly over @jacquidark's vocals in the Gladiator Suite! What was your favourite Hans Zimmer moment?

I have loved singing this glorious music! If you don’t follow @sydsymph or @ArtoftheScore - get amongst it now!
Tonight is the last night of our highly anticipated performances of The Music of Hans Zimmer. From Batman to Gladiator, Inception to Pirates of the Caribbean, and the iconic Lion King, we've enjoyed bringing the magic of these beloved film scores to life at the @SydOperaHouse.

I am so appalled that my friend @ReubenKaye’s show at @Enmore_Theatre tonight has had to be cancelled due to threats of violence from the religious right. There is nothing Christian about death threats and hate speech - it’s just bullying and thuggery wrapped in excuses.

My son is currently trying to complete a jigsaw on the floor whilst trying to fend off a young kitten. It is one the funniest things I have ever seen. #kitten #jigsaw #cat #destruction #childhood

This thread gave me life!!!
Just had a paper rejected. Generally fair feedback, respect the decision. But one reviewer rejected because ‘you clearly misinterpreted Croft et at (2015) work which shows you lack understanding of the theoretical complexities in this area’ 😬
