worm :)

Watched those Alysa Liu sets at the Olympics. Odd to feel joy in a screen right now, but it's most welcome.

I don't like meme taxonomy debates, but also I don't like that we call this a ball.

Stand before the Elden Ferret.

She requires no treacherous, all-encompassing bedazzlements. She is already luminous.

I like No Man's Sky. It's the platonic ideal Star Wars game I dreamed of as an excitable 10-year-old. After bashing my head against Souls games for 15 years because I felt like I had something to prove—and still only being passable at them—it's nice to chew on something bright and moreish.

By the time you read this, February will be over.

Played my first session of the mecha TTRPG Lancer and really enjoyed it! Excited to tinker with my character and mech.

I just think Chappell Roan should play Sherlock Holmes in Bloodborne, okay.

Aladdin, Beauty, Lion King, Pocahontas, Hunchback was a pretty special run as a kid.

I do feel like a plastic bag sometimes, but I don't have the means to buy a novelty space flight or date a prime minister. Help?

Having what could gently be described as a challenging week. Grateful for friends, distractions, clean water, therapy, the privileges I enjoy in this life, and my own stubborn refusal to live on anything but my own terms.

I'm pretty jaded at this point. But the Chomsky stuff still made me go "huh."

Grayson's done some incredible scholarship on a topic that goes way broader and deeper than I expected. 🧺

New short film by my friends and it fucking rocks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnTH...

📽️ SALO is important (and not just "extreme cinema") because it shows that fascism is the intrusive thought that must violate every boundary of humanness—decency, autonomy, kindness, family, vulnerability—to sustain itself. Take care of yourself if you read these Epstein files. Pasolini knew.

If you don't have community and need some tonight, come through. 💚

Catherine O'Hara's monologue at the end of For Your Consideration rearranged my psychology. She was proof that at its best, comedy illuminates humanity in all its frailty and self-regard.

As the great @paperbackparadise.bsky.social says, the only way out is to read.

Important. I saw the mask slip a few too many times in my boyhood. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj5o...

Oh no. I've played enough Elden Ring that Sekiro is starting to click for me. See you way later! 🐺

You still don't get it, you Nazi fucks. Some of us love each other.

I soloed Mogh. Whew. I eventually started working on the Maliketh and Malenia fights but my brain was hitting the "Okay I proved my point and also I'm tired" button pretty hard, so I went and soloed Alecto to get Black Knife Tiche, who beat the rest of the game for me. Thanks, Ti! 🔪

Beware the machinations of the evil wizard Discurso, who traps us in a stone labyrinth where we can hear each others' half-formed thoughts and then sells ad space on the maze walls while we drive each other to the brink of madness. 🧙🏼

Mads Mikkelsen's Hannibal Lecter sometimes appears in my dreams as a kind of moral arbiter, which is about as weird as it sounds.

It is actual magic that talking to a friend about a bad day can make it a less bad day. 🌺

More like Heated Ribaldry! Yes, the hockey players who fuck lured me back into television. 🏒

My apartment is slowly starting to feel like My Apartment, which feels incredible. It's nice to feel truly at home somewhere. 💚

I believe this is important to our understanding and that it's worth the viewing time—not just for the specific examples of "textbooks" and other erosions of a shared reality, but the overall picture of a childhood lost. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pcmb...

Shout-out to students in my town staging mass walk-outs after another abduction.

In Seattle I programmed my own little film studies degree by deep diving into things I found fascinating at my "campus library," @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social. I'm satisfied with how far I got, but it was fun to find this old list plotting my next adventures.

The world isn't great right now, but let's take care of each other and enjoy life with each other, too. Not just scare each other. I'm saying this directly to myself. This is what I need to hear.

What I realize about the Twitter format is that it's a blog for me. I mostly use it to read back fun things I said, and I delete things I don't need anymore. But I think I want to get back to reading chapters instead of sentences, and writing in longer forms.

I call these hangnails. I'm sorry.

I've switched to the Godskin Stitcher and soloed Adula, Ekzykes, the Falling-Star Beast, both Astels, the Fire Giant, and Morgott. Currently working on Mogh, Rykard. On the horizon are Maliketh...and Malenia. 🌺

Cinema is really important and (the royal) we don't love it enough. 📽️

Light and stone are always changing into one another. That's all the universe is.

Noah was the first furry cruise director.

The extremely talented @leonoralermontov.bsky.social invites you to watch the trailer for her new short film. 📽️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaIY...

s/o to this person who put a whole audiobook of Edward Said's "Orientalism" on YouTube. I've read key excerpts but never the whole text. That changes in 2026!

Oof. This one poked me right in the mind-hole.

Once every couple years I get an activity notification on Letterboxd that hits me right in my Personal Mythology brain.

I like sharing "content" that makes the world make more sense to me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqMM...

star trek

If you dig video games you should read Zach's recap of what he played in 2025. Great games and writing.

The four of these I saw (Phoenician, Sinners, Marty, WUDM) were the best movies I saw this year—along with Leonora's film, Be The Creature. 🐺

I got really into Something Awful–brand online masculinity in my late teens. I started reading Pitchfork and grew embarrassed that I enjoyed writing fanfics about Final Fantasy characters kissing. In retrospect this was a significant downgrade.

Is anyone else completely haunted and transfixed by the honeycomb scene in Marty Supreme (and how it fits into the image architecture of the scenes around it)?

Love this game. 🐜

Soloed the Valiant Gargoyle twins after spending all day learning the move sets. Not sure who I am right now but I like her.
