    🔗 indymotion.fr/w/dsSMsv7pxKcBJ4

    Réalisé par Akiko Okumura 👉 akiko-okumura.com/ « Et la lumière fut ! » est son premier court-métrage. Ma scène est furtive mais nécessaire pour la progression de la tension intérieure vécue par l'héroïne qu'interprète Angéla Sichanh 👉 actorsfactory.fr/team/angela-s

    💟 J'ai eu grand plaisir à participer au projet d'Akiko, car jouer dans un film anti-raciste me tenait à cœur. Voici ce qu'Akiko écrivait pour sa note d'intention :

    > Je tends à décrire le malaise et la violence auxquels je me suis longtemps défendue de faire face. Ce film explore le racisme insidieux – tel que l’appropriation du corps féminin racisé par l’Occident –, et aussi la violence du déni du racisme dans le milieu intellectuel.

    🔥 J'espère que ce film vous plaira et que vous serez sensible à la thématique. Pour ma scène qui arrive à la 11ème minute, quelques jours auparavant j'avais revu _À nos amours_ de Maurice Pialat (décidément mon réalisateur préféré après avoir tout récemment découvert _La maison des bois_) et les bagarres entre Sandrine Bonnaire et Dominique Besnehard m'ont bien inspirées.

    👓 Bon film !

  6. The 21 Day Boyfriend Audiobook

    The 21-Day Boyfriend
    A.S. Kelly
    Publication date: May 21 2025 (Audiobook)
    Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, LGBTQ+, Romance

    Eric O’Shea needs to make a decision. The annual event his family forces him to attend is just around the corner, and he doesn’t have a date.

    Eric never needs help when it comes to finding men. But this time is different – his ex and his new boyfriend will be there, and Eric can’t just bring along one of his usual flings.

    His only hope seems to be him: the best friend of his best friend, who he never wanted to meet.

    Sean Quinn is a calm, collected, and cultured man; someone who would rather stay at home and read a book than waste his time chasing a date with no future.

    Sean isn’t in a rush to find the perfect man, and he certainly doesn’t intend to go out with Eric: his best friend’s other best friend, who he’s avoided meeting for years.

    But Sean has a flaw: he can’t say no to anyone, especially not when it comes to his friend Jake, who has a habit of worming his way into other people’s lives.

    But it’s just one date, after all: pure fiction. It’s a shame, then, that when Eric needs Sean for another favour, he can’t turn his back. It’s a shame that just when Sean is beginning to understand that Eric isn’t what he seems, he can’t seem to stop before he gets hurt.

    Twenty-one days: that’s the agreement.
    Twenty-one days of grazing hands, furtive glances, and unexpected kisses.
    Twenty-one days where anything goes; except falling in love.

  10. CW: Every Clock Is a Handgun in My Autistic Time: Adult language, intense images

    Hey! Back after 7 months of the "shys." Missed y'all!

    Perfect chance to talk Autistic Time:

    Every clock is a handgun pointed at my head
    Every tick, tick… fucking tick
    Tolling Fear, Doom… dread
    Click. Slide. Cock… click.

    👉
    #ActuallyAutistic

    Time doesn't flow smoothly for me. It's more like waves and troughs.

    If I'm interested in what you're saying, what I'm reading… hours fly by. In fact, if I'm really into my passion… painting, cooking, whatev… time has no meaning.

    #AutisticTime #ADHD #AuDHD

    I'm outside of time. In a place indistinguishable from… Joy.

    Boredom?

    A slow, annoying hands-and-knees crawl
    across wooden schoolroom floor boards…
    taking secret, furtive over-the-shoulder glances
    at a second hand stubbornly sweeping.

    So, depression, anxiety… DEADLINES? They grind out, second by agonizing second, in my gut.

    My very definition of… Dread.

    Now, shoehorn my autistic experience into your punchclock world.

    I'm #autistic. Pretty sure #ADHD, too.

    How does this affect daily life?
    Listen or read here:

    #AskingAutistics

    In my 70s, every ticking second is a countdown to some duty, obligation, deadline... death…

    No. That's a lie.

    Reality? Hours of numbness... obsessively flicking through screens... frightened to look away and notice the time of day... the season.

    Leading to days of dull semi-awareness... punctuated by trips to the bathroom. Between delivered pizzas.

    And moments of terror when despite my best dim-witted efforts, I see 9:27 out of the corner of my eye.

    #Neurodiversity

    And the sun screams, 'Hey, it's morning. You gotta get going. You got stuff to do.'

    Or maybe it's 3:19 am. So the moon shames me with, 'Well, there goes another day you didn't meet expectations.'

    Every timepiece I can remember was like a prison guard's gun...

    ...The real power enforcing order.

    The calendar that told the doctor that 2 weeks late is too long... so he forced my delivery with forceps.

    Or the school bell that announced precisely when I must be silent... or pee.

    #MentalHealth #Psychology #neurotwitter

    The alarms shrieking at the factory door. Time clocks measuring the distance to starvation. Calendars counting days til the next vacation, back to school, parental promotion... and move to a new town.

    THEY measure my time by widgets per hour. ME? Joy per minute...

  21. Here is another opera review, this time with a twist. I already know the results and have grouped them accordingly. In this case, it's those who have no business singing this and those who sing it perfectly. Make no mistake. Everyone here has a beautiful voice. But not every voice type can, or should, sing everything.

    Let's start with those who should not sing this aria.

    Louis Graveure E lucevan le stelle

    youtube.com/watch?v=rH-B7ftmBX…

    As I have said in other reviews, the story of Louis Graveure is quite amazing. He came to Clara Novello Davies unable to sing at all, with extreme congestion. Caruso's own doctor recommended him to her, knowing that she helped with breathing exercises. After years of study, he became a phenomenal baritone. However, at some point, he deliberately changed into a tenor. While he has a very powerful voice, I could hear him struggling several times. At the very least, his voice made noises that it shouldn't have and it detracted from the performance. He was far better off as a baritone, but he is still good when he sings less demanding tenor roles.

    Puccini: Tosca / Act 3: "E lucevan le stelle" Léopold Simoneau

    youtube.com/watch?v=xYOqImv1PI…

    When I read this, I burst out laughing. Simoneau has the sweetest voice I have ever heard from anyone, and he has no chest voice, which is not a bad thing, but it doesn't work here. His Mozart pieces are lovely, though.

    Tito Schipa - E lucevan le stelle (1913)

    youtube.com/watch?v=UD6tQ6wpqk…

    It is no secret that I consider Tito Schipa to be the best singer in the world. I adore his voice. But I am eternally grateful that he stopped singing such things within a few years after this recording, though there is one from 1915 and another from 1919. This, from 1913, is one of his earliest records. It's not that he couldn't sing the aria well. In fact, he sang it so well that the conductor, during one of his performances of it, begged him personally for an encore! It's that had he continued in these heavy roles, they would have completely destroyed his voice. Those who know his incredible mezza voce and general control know exactly what I mean.

    Ferruccio Tagliavini "E lucevan le stelle" Tosca

    youtube.com/watch?v=8RuKd4hld6…

    Ferruccio Tagliavini had such a beautiful voice when younger that he could almost have equalled Schipa himself. But by this point, it was already changing, precisely due to singing roles such as this. Fortunately, he was able to adjust, but there is something to say for the phrase "you can never go home again". If you hear him in a lighter song, such as Una Furtiva Lagrima, in the 1940's and then in the late 1950's or 1960's, there is a huge difference. All the sweetness is gone in the later ones. Schipa's versions of it are beautiful from the 1920's straight to 1962, with only a few signs of age showing. As for this aria, Tagliavini does perform it well, but it's still a cautionary tale.

    Now, we get to those who should be singing this sort of thing.

    Enrico Caruso - E lucevan le stelle (Zonophone, April 19, 1903)

    youtube.com/watch?v=rL6h90m2Ig…

    This is from 1903, so his voice transformation (careful and deliberate, not damage) hadn't taken place yet. But his strength and depth is still evident. He can very easily handle this aria, emotionally, vocally, and most of all, physically. There is no strain in his voice at all, and it's a pleasure to listen to.

    Beniamino Gigli E Lucevan Le Stelle Audio HQ

    youtube.com/watch?v=D5HwI2hMiD…

    Gigli was born to sing this sort of role. His rendition sent shivers down my spine. (For a similar experience, listen to his Nessun Dorma, which is incomparable.) Here, he sings even the quieter parts with a certain authority and firmness, yet with such control that it is amazing. When he does sing at full capacity, his emotions are completely in tune with the melody and character. He reaches all notes with ease. Whereas Graveure had some kind of feature in his voice, Gigli's slight changes are a hallmark of his and have been described by some as almost like sobbing. Here, though, they work to great effect to bring out the meaning of the words. Yes, I did research this one in translation.

  25. Here's the first of what I call my grandfather's 'pocket litter'. It's a medallion as you can see by the hole/chain.

    Known: found in his effects. My mother did not recognise it at all. Grandmother previously deceased. Well cared for so significant somehow. The cheap chain is Mom wanting a keepsake.

    Guess: likely Masonic. Grandfathers trade and look of something accessed frequently but furtively fits. Similar symbology

    Latin stamped, not engraved. Non-magnetic.

    ???🤷
