Jeremy's portrayal of writer John Middleton Murry in A Picture of Katherine Mansfield tends to be overlooked, buried under more glamorous roles. And yet, it's a great example of "becoming" a totally different person: an awkward, emotionally repressed Victorian intellectual. No trace of the physicality of D'Artagnan, Sherlock Holmes, and others.

29th June 2026. This year's Strawberry Moon was extremely low in the sky, which made it look very large and bright. (A perfect photographic opportunity!)

TERFS DID THIS TO ME ON TUMBLR. I got an anon telling me I passed terribly. like. I'm literally cis and by telling me I do not pass, you are showing that you view womanhood in ways that are not only regressive for trans folk but also regressive and harmful for the very cis women you claim to support and prioritize. They uphold the very beauty and gender performative standards they seek to diminish. Fuck terfs.

Daily reminder that TERFism has roots in both fascism (eugenics, patriarchal gender performance) and white supremacy (euronormative standards of beauty and biology) and is by no means a viable form of feminism.

Crafting with Jeremy…

I just read on http://www.brettish.com/middle-stages.html that to research the role of Che Guevara, Jeremy Brett spent 6 months hitchhiking around South America and according to an interview:

“I worked there, too. At one point, I got some stones and polished and set them and sold them on the spot, and in Chile I got lots and lots of shells and with a pair of tweezers I made tiny little mice, which I sold for quite a lot of money.”

I REMEMBER the desolation when Mummy's car left and I was marooned. I found that so frightening. And having my own room made me instantly lo

This article is quoted and extrapolated upon a few times The Making of Them: The British Attitude to Children and the Boarding School System

I couldn't read the whole thing. But some of it is very enlightening on the trauma of places of like Eton.

“Don’t worry, Mother,” said Valancy, lightly but quite respectfully. “It isn’t likely I’ll do anything very terrible. But I mean to have a little fun.”

“Fun!” Mrs. Frederick uttered the word as if Valancy had said she was going to have a little tuberculosis.

I don't understand how cis people obsessed with gender norms think trans people are the weird ones. they're going around believing that your name has to correlate to your genitals. your fashion has to correlate to your genitals. your behaviours have to correlate to your genitals. your hobbies have to correlate to your genitals. who you date has to correlate to your genitals. whether you can put sparkles on your eyelids or not has to correlate to your genitals. and then people like me go "hmm. I might not do that. maybe I'll just do what feels fun and okay instead" and they LOSE their MINDS

Finding out Hans Zimmer is a transphobe genuinely had me falling to my knees

Thank you blastybaku for explaining this!/gen

If you've ever heard a movie score and thought "holy shit, this is incredible", there's like, a 50% chance it was Hans Zimmer who composed it.

This is a pretty major letdown, ngl.

Anyways, fuck transphobes, which includes Hans Zimmer, apparently.

excessively-english-jd

Anyway shoutout to John Williams, amazing composer and probably the one who made the other 50% of "holy shit amazing" soundtracks (Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Superman, and incidentally the original Harry Potter theme and score) who famously worked closely with the first openly transgender woman to be nominated for an Academy Award, Angela Morley. He respected her, and so far as I can see, has never made transphobic remarks.
