"the world isn't kind" Then fuck the world, I'll just get even kinder to make up for it.

No lie, my intro anime experience was ghost in the shell, the dvd-only final episode of Excel Saga, and then a few eps of evangelion and boogiepop phantom. All in the same afternoon, which was also my first experience of real ale

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

Always had impulses to start writing things, first inspiration that led to actually finishing a writing project was getting into films and writing screenplays, but the big one was signing up for NaNoWriMo on a surge of enthusiasm in 2010 and getting into a rivalry w/ a cute girl in the local group

@footballej.bsky.social Hi EJ, I'm in Seattle on holiday and looking for recs for a bar to watch Thursday night's game from - any favourites? Proven record of being LGBTQ+ friendly a big plus

further thought now that it's not 6:30am anymore: this is the immaterial parallel of the standard capitalist movement from use-value to exchange-value of material goods

This just hit me like a truck (tho with the caveat to read up-thread for what op means by 'experience and competence'). Really succinct statement of one of the big problems with franchise-logic mass media (adopted wholesale from sff genre systems - stuff like the Star Wars EU)

it is absolutely unreal how good this film is, truly a 'now I have seen this I want to grab every other film and say 'Tokyo Godfathers did it, what's your excuse?'' kind of experience

mechsplore, mechspand, mechsploit, mechsterminate

Started reading the Nobilis big white book and there's a marginal passage on p15 that might be a more astute contribution to the philosophy of free will and determinism than anything written in english by an academic philosopher in the C20th

Setting up my new ministry baptising woodland animals is surprisingly complicated, so I'm starting out with small, one-off jobs, just tipping a doe into the water

Encountering firsthand for the first time the bizarre nightmare that is trying to watch an American sport on American TV It's actually harder and more expensive to get the program I want here than home in the UK x.x

Warm.

#GameNightQuotes: "We are a good-aligned religion venerating slimes and oozes. We worship a holy sourdough starter."

FOR 200, ANYONE CAN CONCEIVE A BABY MARIO

When I was in high school we made 69 jokes but the economy is so bad kids these days can only joke about 67

Basically none of my most memorable theatre experiences were conventional film screenings. I remember first experiencing IMAX and 3d at Futuroscope in France in about 1996, which scared the shit out of me, and a couple of live theatre things a bit on the experimental side

SOON

Ah, hotel breakfasts: all you can eat, provided you don't mind serving it into the tiniest eating vessels using the most ineffectual serving utensils in the known world.

Formula 1 but with dragons and lesbians instead of cars and the worst rich boys on earth

Show me a fictional character that altered your brain chemistry truly rewired me in some deep, fundamental ways

Absolutely buzzing over this new video of a rarely seen giant squid

years ago I saw a clip of a black poet reading a poem about listening to 'Born in the USA' in the car, that started with how when that song comes on you have to sing along 'because it is good to own something in this country', and I wish I could remember -any- identifying info about the poet

felt obliged to offer at least a little something for nothing to tide themselves over and to soothe my own neuroses, so i worked over an old story (to be *more* florid, not less) that i posted as a single screenshot on twitter, long ago, and threw it up on the patreon, free for all to see once more.

I love me some fiction that disorients and upends me, and tara consistently manages to do that through overwhelming body horror, this shit is grody and gruesome and delicious and if body horror and/or angry women are your thing, but this in your face
