"In the arts, chrononormativity takes the form of the conveyor belt we’re all told to ride: emerging by 30, mid-career by 40, late-career by 60. If you fall behind, step off, or return later, the system doesn’t know what to do with you." - Op-ed by Damien Davis hyperallergic.com/1042641/when...

Word of the Day: Nefelibata A beautiful Portuguese word for someone who walks the clouds; a dreamer who lives in their own world, untouched by convention, guided by imagination over reality. It describes a soul who just doesn't think out of the box, but never saw the box to being with.

Watched the original French "La Cage aux Folles" (1978). Tubi. Featuring Ugo Tognazzi & Michel Serrault. Hilarious but disappointed to see the US remake (The Birdcage) copied almost everything: character quirks/looks, set design, even shots. Did the original script demand clones across all versions?

Re-watched Birdcage. Tubi. Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Dianne Weist. I loved everyone, but my all-time, most favourite is Hank Azaria.
