I think personal labels can be useful for “there’s a word for it”, “I’m not alone”, and “oh neat, I know what to put in a search engine now” reasons, but I also think they can be troublesome.
Plenty of people won’t fit 100% neatly into a label, and when they encounter a rare exception to what is otherwise an accurate label for them, it can feel like an identity crisis.
The labels aren’t literally what you are. They’re words. They’re meant to assist communication and organization, not to control you.

“I am tired of measure, control, doing the right thing. A part of me would like to tear something apart and howl like a wolf.”

Reblogging for the correction.
(Also agreed on the JLo thing.)
Did a bit of research on Diego Luna’s Kiss of the Spider Woman movie, currently filming. Putting some little factoids behind the cut because there are minor spoilers.
Honestly: I'm super excited.
They are filming in New Jersey (Elizabeth, to be precise).
They are filming in April and May.
They are expected to be done by mid-June, as JLo starts her concert tour at the end of that month.
The movie is updated slightly to take place in Buenos Aires in 1981 during/after the Dirty War. (The novel took place in 1975.)
Diego is playing Valentín Arregui Paz, the role made famous in the last version of the film by Raúl Julia.
Valentín is a Marxist political prisoner.
Valentín has less solo songs than the other main characters, but still does quite a bit of singing.
Valentín spends a lot of time recovering from torture and beatings inflicted on him by his jailers. He is a bit of a morally grey character (I’m intrigued to see what choices they make in this go-round).
Tonatiuh plays Molina, a hairdresser jailed for "corruption of a minor" (usually read as having a relationship with a younger man, though in the past Molina has also been portrayed as fairly young — the homosexuality is more the crime than the age difference).
JLo plays Aurora, an actress Molina has been obsessed with for years and who gets him through his imprisonment via his fantasies/imagination of her roles and her power.
Molina and Aurora are the main narrators of the film and carry the most musical numbers.
Diego is an Executive Producer on the film (along with JLo and her team; Ben Affleck; and Matt Damon).
There's no expected release date just yet, but likely aiming for an early 2025 premiere.

ALL OF US STRANGERS (2023) dir. Andrew Haigh
"I’ve been thinking about you a whole heap today. Was thinking about watching crappy TV with you on a Friday night. Eating take-away on your sofa. Watching old episodes of Top of the Pops from before I was born."
