Sure, change is inevitable but I have worked overtime to keep it at bay for five years. I know, it’s been a while. I semi-abandoned this website at the end of 2019 but I promise that a very busy Julie was searching for words every single day she didn’t post on here. Life has gotten…
I have never wanted to be a teenager more; just imagine having Labrinth’s music while in the most formative years of your life.

Harry’s new single ‘Lights Up’ was released a few minutes ago and it’s already trending on Twitter and the music video has about 500,000 views on YouTube (and counting). Full disclosure: I am responsible for at least half of those…

On June 8, 1901 Elisa Sánchez Loriga pretended to be a man and married her girlfriend Marcela Gracia Ibeas. The film, currently streaming on Netflix, captures the love in this story wholeheartedly. Director,…
A feel-good movie if I’ve ever seen one, I found myself widely smiling throughout the entirety of The Peanut Butter Falcon. The film follows Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a 22-year-old young man with Down Syndrome, as he escapes the residential nursing home that he’s been living in; he attempts to make his way to a wrestling…
Today is my Birthday. 30 rides around the sun. See, the thing about depression is that it doesn’t care if it’s your 30th birthday, it’s still going to make you fight your way out of its depths. So here I am on the morning of my 30th birthday and wondering how quickly I can crawl…
