Lituraterre - Radio StataleCi basta l'Atlantico"Ebbene! Mi sembra di emergere un poco da questa fiacchezza oggi, non so dirti perché. Forse gli orrori del mondo esterno (tribunali locali e roba simile) cominciano a farsi più presenti, e non si può davvero starsene immobili di fronte ad essi. Ad ogni modo, eccomi qui, evidentemente con una penna in mano, a scrivere una lettera: chi l'avrebbe mai detto! Il problema è che ci sarebbe così tanto da scrivere che non riesco a immaginare di scrivere alcunché." Virginia Woolf e Lytton Strachey si sono scritti lettere per venticinque anni.

Poly-ish Movie ReviewsEp. 1 - Carrington: A Polyamorous Movie ReviewJoreth reviews the movie Carrington, with Emma Thompson, Jonathan Pryce, and Steven Waddington. This is the story of real-life painter Dora Carrington, her life-partner Lytton Strachey, and their various loves. I watched a movie that was recommended on a very long list of "poly" movies. Many of the movies on the list are more about cheating and being forced to choose between partners, so I was somewhat dubious. But Carrington proved to be an exception. I found this movie to be an excellent example of polyamory ... before the word existed. This movie is based on the real-life char...
