"Shakespeare is a specter haunting queer theory—our ideas of normativity and desire owe a debt to Shakespearean ideas and language that we have been strangely unwilling to pay. Instead, we banish him to the realm of the pre-queer, where he is sometimes considered worthy as an object of queer theoretical attention but is rarely recognized as having provided, to a significant extent, the very vocabulary for that theory."

THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING 2014

There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope.

Just noticed that Doctor Who has been slowly collecting the female cast of Dinnerladies over the years. Just Julie Walters and Maxine Peake to go. Sadly Victoria Wood is beyond them.
