Happy #JimFanningFriday!
Shout-out to @licencetoqueer.com for starting this fun annual event. If you wanna participate, take a picture of yourself in a bow tie and tag them!
My 5 year old daughter designed my bowtie. We'll see if that trend continues 😅
While James Bond is undoubtedly a powerful symbol of British cultural identity, using him to bolster support for your political views - whichever way you swing personally - is simply not cricket.

Thank you Robbie 😊🍸
Fun, thoughtful, very personal podcast from @licencetoqueer.com on home and the queerness of Bond in Skyfall (an unsettling, pseudo-Gothic spectacle with lots of suggestive tunnels) podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/l...
One of the queerest and 🥵 books I've ever read
An intensely empowering story, using an ancient myth to shed light on our modern exististences, reminding us of the possibilities there always were - and all that may still be to come
This is pure queer joy in book form.

We did the Gelert route. It was fantastic. Didn't visit Portmeirion this time but have been before - I'm a huge fan of The Prisoner.
My husband took me on a ride on the Welsh Highland Railway for my birthday and I was in train nerd heaven 🚂😍

'James Bond is what every man would like to be and what every woman would like between her sheets.'
Over six decades, this assertion has become received wisdom.
But it turns out we’ve been lied to the whole time…

There's a LARGE contingent of gay/queer/lesbian/bi fans, if you look for them.
Why ELSE do you think Daniel Craig nimbly dipped his toe in that direction in "Skyfall"? :-)
@licencetoqueer.com is a good start!
Thanks for the shout out Matthew ☺️
I started Licence to Queer because I was tired of the straight cis male voices drowning out everyone else.
Spread the word! 🍸
Felicitations 🎉 to Raymond Benson for his wildly exciting Felix Leiter novel, published today.

My passions combine in this timely new book!
James Bond + linguistics + gender studies!
@paulari.bsky.social and @gavinbrookes.bsky.social cover a massive gap in the literature around men's language with this book.
And it's all available for FREE:

Prepare to be hooked!
This is the Bond-universe story we've always wanted to read. Felix Leiter is a beloved character already but we fell really hard for him here. 💙

Looking forward to watching ☺️
Ooooh, wish I could have been there! I'm a @unibirmingham.bsky.social alumnus, can I come next time? ☺️
Yours is one of the most beautifully written pieces I've ever read, more than doing justice to a beautiful film which I've been obsessed with since I first saw it back on a French import DVD. Can't wait to rewatch it now and savour the fresh perspectives.
I know my name.
Well, the first half of it anyway.
Didn't see any double decker buses attempting entry, fortunately.

We can't stop talking about the Switch 2!
This time, Antony brings his husband David along for the ride with David (of @licencetoqueer.com) sharing his gaming and Nintendo history, as well as his thoughts on the Switch and today's #Switch2.

Bond and mental health are two things which are of great importance to me, so I was delighted when I had the opportunity to discuss both these topics on @licencetoqueer.com's Our Minds Only podcast. Apologies for any incoherent rambling 😂
TW: self harm, thoughts on suicide
It's not the years; it's the mileage. We may have matured (physically, if not otherwise) but we thought it would be fun to go out in the same outfits we wore to our wedding ten years ago. ☺️
"James Bond was always something I could escape to. If I was feeling down, I would put on a Bond, and that would sort me out mentally."

It's almost time... 🕖
#SirHilaryBrayDay is when we wear tweed.
Celebrated on the 1st April, the birthday of actor George Baker...
All you have to do is post a photo of you or a pet wearing an item made of tweed (or something that looks like it).
