Michael Hartnett's Irish woman is a metaphor for Ireland

A political elegy addressing the loss of culture, language & tradition. It isn’t nostalgia, it’s evidence

The line ‘I loved her from the day she died’ pulls you up before he moves into the final 6 perfect images

Poem 'The Wanderer' by Seamus Heaney

From ‘Stations’ a ‘Sliding Doors’ poem

I wonder what would have happened if he hadn’t won the scholarship?

Would all of those poems have been lost? On such small events worlds can shift

The benches on which he sat are now quite empty, circles are broken

Poem from Matthew Rice's collection 'plastic'

This is from Matthew Rice’s collection ‘Plastic’.

A microcosm of working class life set in a single 12 hour factory night shift.

It is an astonishing book, its acute observations are at times stark and bleak, at other surreal, funny and humane

No, I don't care what you say
We're way past words anyway

Hold me, I can't stand being in love with you
But, baby, I'm leaning on you

Very spectral, barely-there notes from Janet's song, like mere trace, light residue, before it moves on on its own. Love it, tastefully done (sampling). I love the (rather) loose structure of this song

If Only

My favorite song from the EP. With some notes from Janet Jackson's Come Back to Me, how could I not like this song? Selfish, which used to be my top favorite, is still my favorite but becomes second for now.

the wheel is constantly turning, constantly eroding, leaving words depleted and selfish, like heroes after they’ve served their historic purpose slaughtering herds of sheep, dreaming they are still useful.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

You got it

Ha, I've watched this a few times, especially when I'm down, and I just know this is my favorite live session, of all time, I suppose. Theirs is a musical harmony of friends. I can't get over the way the two best friends stare at each other. *wink

I'll try to explain a bit later. ☘️✌️

Eh, I actually didn't. 😜

So yeah, I rambled, terribly! I'm sorry this is all over the place. I like HR, but would I say it's my favorite? No, not really, if I'll be completely honest. I find it interesting, though, especially its mainstream popularity in the West. I'm interested in pop culture most of the time, anyway.

misogyny. And tbh, I still struggle to identify what the 'female gaze' is. Until now, I still ask how much Shane and Ilya's relationship, especially the sexual part of it, and the way it was characterized retains some 'male gazey' qualities (just gender reversed), if that makes sense.

attached to how the 'female gaze' is received and interpreted by society, and how queer romance and sex in queer romance are interpreted by society is a case of this. While many say they 'like' HR, closer look to what they say about HR still reveal many biases, some of which are still a product of

certain ways from pornography. On the topic of women and older women, people shouldn't be surprised that many authors of queer romance and specifically mlm are women and older women; that 'female gaze' people speak of has been carved by older women. It's sad that prejudice (and misogyny) is still

something meaningful (gradually), even beautiful (as many would probably agree; the shots and lighting were well done); it was sexual without being pornographic (one could say it was toying with it, or the idea of pornography). It's another case of swaying us to redefine 'smut' as different in

He made the most of the material (and of the small budget he had), and brought out the best in it. What makes HR, the tv series, stand out is not only the fact that it's queer romance set in the sports world but also that it's explicit; sex was sex, it didn't shy away from it, but it turned it into

A Little Life are examples of contemporary queer romance novels), HR is probably unique for setting the story/conflict in the sports world where, as we know, homophobia is strong. But like what you said, Jacob Tierney did excellent writing adapting it to the screen. It was also what got me 'hooked'.
