Or I'm finally going to write my piece on Kneecap (2024) and language/power/identity

I'm just invested and have a lot of thoughts

shout out to everyone raised catholic with a fundamental distrust and dislike of the institution but who is also feeling like we're never going to have this much potential in a pope again

big thank you to @suchmayer.bsky.social for reading it and providing much needed pointers.

i now have some more ideas on futures posts, possible on kneecap, not-great plays I've seen that intersect interestingly with Emily in Paris and maybe some other things. 29 is a year of writing baby!

Oh fab! Thank you, I really like old notes so it was fun to go through them all.

been thinking a lot over the past few months/weeks about how amazing an archivist my grandma could've been. The things she's kept from her life and all of ours. And at times very intense. In another life she would've ruled a very specific museum on English Catholicism.

It's such a weird blending of cultures in a way that always takes me out of something - it flattens it. And I'm sure there are more examples of it happening, especially in Netflix or other streaming shows, for other countries as well

It also had such a weird tendency, that I've noticed in some American shows set in the UK, to americanise characters' speech which is odd when there were a number of writers and actors on it who were British
