Hinterland (series) with eyebrows

By -

I am loving it. The photography is spectacular. The framing of the movement is like an actor. So slight. Almost imperceptible, and yet planned so carefully, chock-full with content. 

Trivia alert. However, the eyebrows of the lead character are driving me mad. Why do I alway feel eyebrows are over acting. They should have a show where all the eyebrows can go and act in. They need their own series. 

Actors, in general, seem to be chosen on their left-handedness, and their ability to slant their eyebrows up in the center. I think this is not an expression the people in my country can do. It's genetic I guess. So when I when I see it, it seems extreme. An overly overt expression. Annoying. Strange. 

It's a tidbitty observation.

And the people with power and things to lose resist the ideas and the changes. And then there's a revolution.  I don't think the author understands the process of world change.  She sneers at women driving cars their fathers bought and receiving education from the pockets of their fathers'

I attend these diversity dialogues. And I am the worst dialoguer. Mainly because I am not the girl to describe-the-problem. Going over and over stuff and exploring feelings over and over is just not me. I went to a psychologist once for many months and was annoyed that I had suspended my disbelief in the process and found that psychologists are trained to describe-the-problem using variables from a pathologising formulaic book that rarely gets updated (DSM). I can think of a few other examples of books that rarely get updated. Problem describers. I love The Dreaming . A part of the dialogue is imagining what the world would look like without that problem. People try to imagine the world, smell it, breathe it, see it. They are so tentative, so hesitant, so bound to reality. People of privilege often don’t know words like ‘the Geni coefficient’ or ‘the Copper T’. I don’t mean to use these obscure terms, I hate people who try to baffle others and I rephrase if another opportunit
