I think one of the goals of society should be that someone who requires expensive medicine and a lot of care can live an amazing life, the longest life they possibly can, with dignity, even if they have no friends or family or anyone who cares enough about them to help. the goals of a society should be to make life better than if we are alone, society should want life to be as good as possible for as many people as possible, and those goals should account for people not having social support networks.

social life aside, the most hated or ignored person in town should be able to live as good and fair and just of a life as the most loved person in town. survival needs to stop being a popularity contest.

Podcast Update

A podcast to discuss Red Dwarf from the perspective of female and LGBT+ fans.

Since it's the start of Pride month, it feels like a good time to remind people that we recently added all episodes so far released* to our Youtube channel, so if you missed any or want to listen again, the whole of the first five series is now on there.

*Except "Back To Reality" which is currently on Buzzsprout.

I'm tagging all guests included in this update.

Honey Cake Infused with Black Tea

Okay fuck so for like the entire first part I thought this person was like... Using one of those 3d pens to replace lace in this curtain somehow

Then the next couple I was like "wait are they just like painting the curtains a different color? Were the lace threads just black or something on that other one?"

Then finally it clicked and I freaked the fuck out

EXCUSE ME

Some scenes from Act 1 !

“The ballet from Act… 3 of tonight’s performance.

The ballet…

A tribute to the one.. the only… Nehal Joshi as Monsieur Andre.

Kandinsky said, “Letters act as practical and useful signs, but also as pure form and inner melody.” This quote appears on a Society of Scribes 10th Anniversary Keepsake from 1984, one of the pieces featured in Artist & Alphabet: 20th Century Calligraphy & Letter Art in America. 

The exhibition catalog was published in Jaffrey, New Hampshire in 2000 by David R. Godine in conjunction with the American Institute of Graphic Arts and the Society of Scribes and was printed in at The Stinehour Press in Vermont. The exhibit and catalog were curated by Jerry Kelly (who was also the book designer) and Alice Koeth (who provided the title page calligraphy). The catalog includes an introduction from Donald Jackson. 

While Artist & Alphabet contains a wide overview of the lettering arts of the 20th century, for this Decorative Sunday I have focused on the specimens that embody that spirit of what Jackson calls “spontaneously made, deeply personal pirouettes of the pen, blots and all.” These works show how letter forms can be utilized not just to convey information, but as a visual grammar in and of itself. 

You can find more publications from Godine here.

Sometimes I think we all forget that Nehal Joshi, in addition to being the world's greatest Monsieur André, was also a brilliant Jean Valjean in the Dallas Theater Center's production of 'Les Misérables' back in 2014!

I wanted to share this highlight from his performance which is a moment where he really really vocally shines! Enjoy :)

the way I know in my soul there's gotta be a bunch of s5 based red dwarf fanfic stripping away the sitcom reset button and exploring the real potential for angst inherent in "terrorform" and "demons and angels"
