I'm just going to mention again that I made this long-form detective story podcast and you can listen to it in various places. The response has been really gratifying so far. Second episode on Sunday.

Why I'm banging on about the State Library fiasco: people who know how bad it is are forbidden to speak out; scared of political reprisals or for their jobs or prospects. I'm a cross, menopausal freelancer who won't be invited to any schmoozy money-drinks & as such can go orf like a Catherine Wheel.

A day late for Australia, but it's still yesterday in some parts....Here's a beautiful AIDS Memorial Quilt story.

One more thing for World AIDS day. A short video about the quilt panel I made for Alvin Ailey that became part of a retrospective of his life at the Whitney museum. We lost so many artists ❤️‍🩹. It was an honor to be part of, and this tells the story.

I spoke about this on the #ChampagneComedy Podcast. @tonymartin.bsky.social has more screen time than Eddie McGuire's BMW in #TheCastle: 310 frames versus 189. @tlschampagne.bsky.social

Aww damn the comercials station's refusal to respect creative artists by playing movie credits. I remember the audience cheering and clapping at the end of #TheCastle when I saw it in the cinema.

I find it very hard to believe that the photocopier never breaks down #TheCastle

And here is Tony Martin's glorious cameo, yacking with Eric Bana about Eric's movie Chopper, I think.

Love the shot of The High Court of Australia in all it's modern glory and then the interiors are all shot in old dark wood style court rooms #TheCastle

I love how Working Dog worked with experienced actors like Bud Tingwell. He's really wonderful in #TheCastle.

Our landlord is going to sell our home of 18 years and we have to find somewhere new to live. I'm relating to #TheCastle a little tonight.

Denis is a lame lawyer, but Bryan Dawe as the sleazy lawyer is a wonderful villain.

Here's something childish to start your week.

If you'd like one of these to hand in the loo, I can draw one for you.

The interesting thing about the Jousting Sticks is that there are now professional Jousting tournaments in Australia which didn't exist when this film came out #TheCastle
