‘It’s not a coincidence that his first visit next week will be to a cancer treatment centre where, with plenty of personal shared experience now, he will show his support for staff and patients.
In terms of the statement issued by palace aides, the positive message will have got ahead of any speculation. It's set the narrative on a much more upbeat direction, with the King's doctors "very encouraged by the progress made so far", rather than a drip-drip of cancelled attendances.’

Is King Charles having cancer news worthy? Sure, I suppose it's of cultural significance. Is it worth 30 minutes of main stream news? Fuck no. There's a man hunt in the UK, there's a genocide happening in Palestine, the King should get maybe 3 MAXIMUM

Hello again....If you don't mind me asking, can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series/ etc)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks so much if you want to answer.....
top 10 favourite media (in no particular order):
- the office (tv)
idk it’s just entertaining and a great show to rewatch over and over again (not a jim fan tho tbh)
- heartstopper (tv)
i LOVE nick and charlie’s relationship, i find nick’s struggle with his sexuality relatable, i loved s2 imogen and i cant wait to see more of her (i think she’s a lesbian tbh), most of all, i love the representation it brings to younger queer kids, the kind i didn’t have and wish i did.
- thor: ragnarok (movie)
ICONIC. SO GOOD. FUNNY. LOKI!!!!!! TESSA THOMPSON!!!!! one of my favourite movies
- a simple favor (movie)
obsessed with blake lively!!! absolutely stunning and an amazing actress!!!! anna kendrick is too. just a lesbian obsessed with blake lively!!! also the plot?!???!!!!!!?!!! so fucking good!! one of my fave movies tbh
- bbc merlin (tv)
i can’t even rewatch this show. like it makes me so sad. but i read fanfic about it every. single. day. only watched cause katie mcgrath is in it and now im obsessed with merthur fanfic.
- red, white and royal blue (movie)
pls it’s so good i can’t even explain
- supergirl (tv)
honestly not even one of my favourites but i loved having a woman superhero!!!! even if the script sucked, especially in the later seasons (forced feminism and queerbaiting). at least there was lesbianism ig ??
- new girl (tv)
such a fucking slay tbh !!! love this show sm !!!
- modern family (tv)
^see new girl^
- brooklyn nine-nine (tv)
^see new girl^

Ngl kinda fucking funny right now that British Media are actually falling for a Doctor Who fan account claiming that Millie Gibson has been fired from Doctor Who, with the fan account literally having no sources beyond 'trust me bro'.

there's a suspicious silence in the UK family group chat... unclear whether it's safe to post memes yet or if my stepmom would get mad

Second City Firsts: Club Havana (BBC, 1975)
"When you have just arrived in a dangerous country like Birmingham, you got to examine all about you. You got to secure your rear. And you notice them carrying the bread, in their dirty hands and in the baby carriage!"
"It's a beautiful slum, like Kingston."
"What, sir? No. Kingston is blue and green! This is concrete and dogshit - and drizzle."
#second city firsts#club havana#single play#bbc#classic tv#barry reckord#pamela brighton#don warrington#mona hammond#julie walters#frank singuineau#alfred fagon#tara prem#most often referred to these days in terms of being the screen debut of national treasure julie walters#but that's a disservice to an urgent and challenging play that promotes black voices in an era which rarely did so on mainstream television#where SCF often concentrated (admirably) on emerging talents and new writers‚ Reckord was already a well established figure at this point#albeit with little success in television. as a stage writer‚ however‚ he'd been working since the mid 50s‚ often with his actor director#brother Lloyd. one significant success had been the Royal Court staging of Barry's play You in Your Small Corner‚ which granada had#adapted for tv in 1962 and which was long believed to feature the first interracial kiss on british television (it later emerged that the#earliest had in fact been in 1959 in play Hot Summer Night‚ tho interestingly it was Lloyd Reckord locking lips in both instances)#Reckord had also written a Play for Today in 72 but Club Havana was his third and final attempt at breaking into tv; he returned instead to#play writing and the stage for the rest of his life. as in Small Corner‚ this play concerns (although perhaps less centrally) an#interracial romance; it's tempting to look for elements of autobiography (Reckord was in a long and unconventional relationship with the#white novelist Diana Athill‚ and like his protagonist hailed from Kingston) but there's little to connect Walters' burnt out barmaid with#Athill's vibrant academic‚ nor in Don Warrington's teacherly ambitions (Reckord had been writing full time almost from his student days)#to the difficult relationship between a blinkered mother and naive son i can say less; regardless‚ Hammond gives a powerhouse performance#as she so often did. a challenging play as i said and comes with the caveat that the language used is often shocking to a modern audience#indeed I'm quite surprised at how much Reckord slipped past the bbc censors. but it feels genuine and human and it works#my mother caught some of this as i watched and did not enjoy: 'just a lot of shouting' was her summary. but hey sometimes that's life#and when a play works like real life it works well
