The racism that is Game of Thrones
Started this in 2013, and I promise to finish before GOT is done
Watch this space
Many a blogger (and fully fledged author) have written ad nauseum about the subtle and not so sublte racist underpinnings of GOT, and while I am an avid fan, I am not blind to these slights and would like to briefly touch on them here.
In summary, there are more people of colour in Peaky Blinders than GOT.

Wise Words
I'm sure you've heard the saying: "You know you don't have to take this...you don't have to be here. You have a home." Well at times like this, such tough love anecdotes seem to be extra poignant. My personal favourite is, a spin on the good old "I can do bad all by myself" is: I can do good..no great by myself, I'm trying to do amazing with you. If only I had a sassy 'girlfriend' to remind me of this periodically...introspection gets old...and is limited by the fact that you yourself are messed up when u need to be the most straight... yourself.
In lieu of a blood and bones alter ego..i'm going to blog.
