I had a miserable day and the night has not been an improvement, but rushthatspeaks sent me Rina Sawayama's anthemically queer "This Hell" (2022) and spatch stuck his head around the door of my office with an upside-down Peep in his mouth like something out of Bosch, so I think we're all set for Good Friday. Previously I had been cheering myself up with the 1984 BBC Titus Groan and Gormenghast and a 1945 photo of Donald Swann.

That is an excellent pic of Swann.

He'd have been about twenty-one at the time. I love it.

Balls! Here.



The file is titled "The Friends Ambulance Unit in Greece, 1945" and captioned "Donald Swann, who was a conscientious objector during the Second World War, pictured relaxing in Greece during his service with the Friends Ambulance Unit."
