You got left in the fine print

I seem to be dreaming in nonexistent media. The night before last it was more films by Powell and Pressburger featuring David Farrar. Last night it was a sort of Dennis Potter-ish teleplay about a murder investigation whose detective might have been ambiguously supernatural or just ambiguously queer. Today was very doctor-centric. I want the time to watch things while awake. Have some links.

3. I like this song a lot: Quantic & Nidia Góngora's "Macumba de Marea," from their forthcoming Almas Conectadas (2021).

4. I don't at all like this article on far-right radicalization via transphobia on TikTok, but it's better to have the information than not.

5. I hope someone on Tumblr has let this conversation know about Q. Fabius Maximus Eburnus, who got his nickname pullus Iovis—"Jupiter's chick"—after he was struck by lightning in the ass.

P.S. I am just about every audio drama behind on Torchwood, even the ones with Murray Melvin, but I may be morally obligated to check out Ianto meets the Mari Lwyd.

Between the glitter cannon, a person's watermarked kilted equipage, and the Roman censor's contemporaries all going "Eh, does what says on tin," I am very gratified to be alive despite the TikTok thing.

IS THE "FLYING ENTRANCE ON SPAR SET PIECE" or "GLITTER. CANNON." WHAT GAYS THAT UP THE MOST?

I am glad!

The TikTok thing is not entirely surprising, but I appreciate that someone did the research for the sake of being able to point to it, even if I hate the fact of the results.

THE GLITTER CANNON IS HARD TO BEAT.

That is a photo I never expected to see of Charlie Ruggles.

It's very impressive. Imagine without the watermark.

Aw, I hope that you do get that, and not just the compensatory dreams!

Thank you!

So much of this transphobic nonsense give people the belief that there are seven foot bearded giants in frocks invading womens' space.

Ummm...........

This is what a trans woman looks like and for the record, I'm 5'6" and largely hair free! :o)

I know all sorts of people of all sorts of genders, trans and not, who look all sorts of ways, because that's how people work. That's a lovely picture of you.

You look great and your dress is very nice.

[cmcmck]

Thank you :o)

That was some years ago when the other half took me to Paris for the first time.

Now that you mention it, I recognise the street name plaque in the background. Is this rue de Rivoli/near the Louvre? Hope you had a nice trip!

OMG I would love to hear your thoughts on it! I love the concept who doesn't love a creepy singing skull horse?

I can remember every detail of the room I was in when I read Susan Cooper's take on it when I was about ten, alone in an apartment at night and regretting everything.

So what I'm getting is, if I ever go to Chepstow's Mari Lwyd vs wassailers like I had planned it Times Before, I should not post photos?

You should absolutely post photos.

[sovay]

OMG I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

I will let everyone know if I do!

[dhampyresa]

Yay!

I cherish your accounts of the cinematic and televisual dreams.

Thank you. My brain has decided opinions about what it should be watching.

It makes me feel like there is an alternate universe of richly textured noir media that I may one day accidentally cross into.
