Watching Sophie Rundle and Suranne Jones in Gentleman Jack as Ann Walker and Anne Lister, inspired by the diaries of the real Anne Lister. There is no Jack in the series... I'm watching series one on HBO Max since I've already seen series two. It's set in victorian times and shows Anne Lister doing everything male landowners did in these times, including marrying a woman, the other Ann. I find I can not celebrate her too much, since she's also doing all the negative things men of that time and class did. E.g. to me she seems to have no empathy towards servants and women.

Just came across this performance on YouTube. This really was the music of my youth. I may have initially at high school started with liking Sting, The Dire Straits, The Smiths, but I quickly saw the light and it became all female (fronted) music for me: The Throwing Muses, The Sundays and definitely Mazzy Star. Here's the latter on a Dutch radio show doing Flowers in December. 26 years ago... I have all their CDs of the time and I also have their more recent albums as well as Hope Sandoval's solo albums from iTunes.

Mazzy Star - Flowers in December (Live on 2 Meter Sessions)

A rarely well-lit performance. Usually the recordings of their stage appearances were very dark where you could hardly see the people. The albums also didn't have her on the cover and the liner notes photos were very vague. They really wanted to keep her face out of the impression you had of the band and to let the music speak for itself.
There is a thing in the music industry where if a woman is good-looking, especially very good-looking, her music can't be taken seriously.
Maybe when explaining the fediverse to new people, or outsiders, or journalists, we shouldn't focus on explaining multiple servers so much. What it is, is social media like twitter but run by volunteers. I think that's the important distinguishing part.
Then when they ask how it's organised, who's in charge and stuff like that, who sets the rules, then we can say volunteers can setup their own servers with their own rules. Only when they wonder stuff like that, this server thing becomes interesting. Until then, it's just details.

I'm sad to read that my country was one of those voting to exclude Romania and Bulgaria. Especially since it was over a supposed migration issue.

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •I feel for the character of Marian Lister, played by the great Gemma Whelan, who is the only one who stands up against her sister but who is also completely ignored.
One of the things I like about the series is that if a certain dialogue between two characters needs to be longer to properly explore the depth, it is longer even if it takes half the episode. Not beholden to the rhythm of editing.

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •There's so much manipulation and gaslighting by Anne Lister of Ann Walker, it's hard to describe it as a love story between the two women, which on the outside this series may suggest.
Anne is saying literally the things that in other series the sleazy male characters would say.
