OK. Just binged FEEL GOOD season 1 + have to add it to my #rebcommendations. Two seasons about the Canadian Mae Martin as Mae Martin, a comedian that struggles with gender issues, priviledges, and relationsships.

"“It’s so frustrating that so much of identity is about comparison,” Martin says. “I just feel like myself. I don’t even feel nonbinary. I just wake up, have a coffee and go to work.”" <333

Ein sehr, sehr gutes Buch!!

I LOVED Uzo Aduba in OITNB [and all the others, will have to rewatch for the 3rd/4th [?] time, I think] but she, acting as Detective Cordelia Cupp, as well as the story of The Residence and also the directing excel beyond almost everything I've ever seen. <3 LOVE this series, and her, and her role, and all the dialogues. Really, everything of it. [#PaulWilliamDavies is a genius, too.]

And I'm sure I only got one third of all cultural references in it.

Somewhat long-ish [1:47h], very recommendable and free docuHistoMentary [?] movie "The Colour Room" about a female designer, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarice_Cliff [by Phoebe Dynevor], who was working in UK in Wilkinson's Pottery ~1920+, finally as head designer, due to a powerful [yes, of course: male] mentorer.

"Mayniel [aka Oklou, pronounced "Okay Lou"], several months pregnant, carefully articulates her thoughts surrounding her forthcoming album while resting after this quick New York trip, with a flight out later that night. The dishwasher hums in the background while we chat."

Got introduced to this artist almost by accident and really am enchanted by her music. So now you get introduced as well as part of my #rebcommendations!

If you've got 20 minutes watch this short science fictiony movie, STRG Z. Really catching story arch. And the FINAL SCENE[S]!

I'm loving Claire North [have read THE FIRST 15 LIVES OF HARRY AUGUST, THE END OF THE DAY, and THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF HOPE] - and currently I'm reading TOUCH - its idea/storyline is a great one, a real recommendation!

I'm able to understand series/movies featuring almost any US American EN dialect. Since #FISK I know that I also do understand Australian city talk. Since yesterday I'm proudly able to say that I ALSO comprehend spoken Tasmanian EN - as well as rural dialects. HOW do I know?
I did a reverse search for my fav cast of #OITNB, what stuff they've done recently + I found a gem when looking for #YaelStone: #BayOfFires, dark comedy series, Australian noir <3

Wow. Disclaimer is a miniseries starring [in the most glorious way this word literally means] Cate Blanchett, Kevin Kline, Sacha Baron Cohen, narrated by Indira Varma. The hardest slow burn with a real piece of an ending. Brilliant. Wow.

I have to recommend another series to you - High Desert. It's on Apple TV+ [I'm on there for Severance until end of this month] and Patricia #Arquette is just nailing it! She plays a middle aged ex junkie/ex dealer [?] living in Yucca Valley, California whose mother just died and she is oh. So. Broke. And mental. She decides to become a PI, is agonizing everyone - and I really don't understand why this beauty of a series got cancelled after its 1. season!

If you liked the true crime 70s series The Serpent on #Netflix [which is really great!] I believe you will also like the miniseries #Griselda. It's leaned on a true story about a colombian cartel leader named Griselda Blanco, an early member of the Medellín Cartel, and yes, it's brutal as was The Serpent but equally colorful and deep - and the acting is just great, not only but especially that of head actress Sofía #Vergara. <3

Thanks YouTube algorithm for leading me to this gem, "Tales of the Lesbian Hunter":

I really enjoyed EVERY song in this list by Vinny #Marchi !

Completed the Lasso Ride, all three seasons... and would call it a slow burn, even if it's not the correct genre to be called that. Finally LOVED IT!

Remarkable:

1 "Truth will set you free. But first it'll piss you off!"

2 Say "Oklahoma" if you really want your counterpart to tell the abso-fucking-lutely truth.

3 When shit happens to you, be a goldfish - their memory lasts only 10s and so they're the happiest animals on earth.
