It appears to be bread day on tumblr, so here's the Michael Sheen bread toaster video for the vibes

Superb direction. 1000/10. Every shot, every transition was perfectly timed. The sound was synced beautifully to the toaster clicking, building the atmosphere and urgency even though there were no clear stakes. The dialogue was so understated but it was positioned perfectly. Just where it made sense to add it, nowhere else. The use of diagetic sound, the clicking toaster, to add to the mood. The transitions themselves, oh man. The way one shot of the bread moved to another, like the clicking of old-fashioned slides in a projector. The perfect POVs. The variety that they managed to bring to one simple, repeated action. The stillness in the kitchen filled with frantic motion, and the restless motion in the beach that was mostly deserted. It's like a beautifully choreographed dance. Not one step out of place, not a single missed beat. It felt flawless.

And above is the reaction I had to watching it the first time. Happy, uh, tumblr bread day? Thanks @madfangirlontheloose.

Y llyfr heddiw yw 'Don't Ask About My Genitals' gan Owen Exie Hurcum, a gyhoeddwyd yn 2022.

Mae'r llyfr hwn yn torri tir newydd mewn cyhoeddi anneuaidd. Disgrifiodd Hurcum ei mhlentyndod* fel person dirywedd a rhyweddgwiar (dan yr ymbarél anneuaidd). Yn benodol y anneuffobia a thrawsffobia mewn cymdeithas. Er enghraifft, y cwestiwn trawsffobig "Pa organau cenhedlu sydd gennyt ti**?" yw'r ysbrydoliaeth teitl y llyfr.

Darllenais rywfaint o'r llyfr hwn, ond nid wyf wedi ei orffen eto.

[*Rhagenwau Hurcum yw ei/nhw (they/them yn Saesneg), felly mae'r treiglad trwynol yn dangos ei fod yn niwtral (ddim yn wrywaidd nac yn fenywaidd).

**Nid oes unrhyw drawsffobwyr neu anneufobwyr yn gofyn y cwestiwn hwn gyda pharch, felly ysgrifennais 'ti' ac nid 'chi'.]

Ydych chi wedi darllen y llyfr hwn?

Today's book is 'Don't Ask About My Genitals' by Owen Exie Hurcum, published in 2022.

This book breaks new ground in non-binary publishing. In it, Hurcum described their childhood as an agender and genderqueer person (under the non-binary umbrella). With a focus on exorsexism(1) and transphobia in society. For example, the transphobic question "What genitals do you have?" serves as the inspiration for the book's title.

I read some of this book, but I haven't finished it yet.

[*Hurcum's pronouns are they/them, so the nasal mutation in the Welsh shows that the ei pronoun is neutral (neither masculine nor feminine ei).

**No transphobes or exorsexists ask this question respectfully, so I wrote 'ti' and not 'chi'.

(1) exorsexism = one of many terms for anti-nonbinary predjudice].

Have you read this book?

UGH working class owen carvour makes my heart SOAR. that man grew up on a welsh council estate. he was a fiend for calling everyone ‘cariad’. his dad worked down the mines. if he was still alive when margaret thatcher became pm he’d have been there fuckin bricks at the ready, target locked. he trained himself to speak in the rp accent. the slang and accent slip ups only ever happen when he’s with curt. he gave himself shitty stick n pokes with his mates. he had his first kiss from the lad that lived in the next town over in a dark corner of the park when the sun was down low. his pet cat was a stray he found that, after a while, his mum just let him keep because it was sleeping on their sofa enough anyways and they’d already affectionately started calling him bilbo. owen! is! working! class!

i luv tht ppl thought burn was 5'11 for a good amount of time like have u seen him. he's literally tiny. u know that joke how 5'9 looks sooooo much shorter than 6'0 / 6'1. it's so true like he looks so small in tw all the time, until hes next to freema or naoko who are both 5'2. also that scene in pr1 where hermann's behind stacker + herc and he's like barely peeking over their shoulder,,, tiny!!! little lad!!!

This amazing human says more with a look, a raised eyebrow, the slight almost imperceptible tilt of his head than others can say in a complete thesis……. Myself included.

And John Cales voice makes this even more haunting.

It’s become one of my favorites on my playlists. And in my minds eye, I see Michael every time it plays.

♥️🔥✨

50 discos del 2024

Tras dejaros las 200 canciones de este año, sigo el repaso a lo mejor de 2024 con los 50 discos que más me han gustado los últimos once meses -no voy a contar diciembre porque sería absurdo-. El cual, tengo que decir, que no ha sido maravilloso. Sí que tenía muy claros los primeros puestos, pero el resto de posiciones casi podrían ser aleatorias. Es decir, que hemos tenido muchos discos de…
