On the recommendation of John Cameron Mitchell’s instagram, I watched the Netflix special from Simon Amstell and could not have been happier or more touched.  He has a similarity to the great Hannah Gadsby in the way that he tells his truth.  I loved this special.  It’s been a while since I’ve posted here and this is the perfect reason to post: there’s something special that’s been broadcast to the world that I would like to remember, save, and share it myself.
