Janelle Monáe in custom Christian Siriano at the 2026 #MetGala

The prequels are better films today than the day they were originally released not because the content within them got magically better (there's still bad acting, pacing, and dialogue), but because the world we live in got dramatically worse and began to uncomfortably mirror some SW plot threads.

One "fun" aspect of transitioning in your 30s is being suddenly compelled to do all the things you would have done in your youth had you not been disgusted with yourself. Now I am the old bitch in the punk scene hoping that people do not clock my geriatric nature. Oh God, I've become Alan Vega.

Hmmmm 25 hours into Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth is a little late to learn that in order to get a Mega level Digimon I should've been de-digivolving and re-digivolving my party at lower levels to bump up one specific stat. The mechanical weirdness of the original Digimon World still persists, I see.

I think Cabin in the Woods is garbage, it doesn't do anything remotely interesting beyond hanging a lampshade on horror tropes, grasping at the lowest hanging fruit.

I have, roughly, fourteen poema written. I think the goal for the zine I want to do will be sixteen, and then I have to come up with imagery to go with each and design and make the thing. It's nice to try something new.

Didn't crawl out of bed until 11AM today, haven't done that in YEARS.

I worked a full bookshop shift, changed and ran to an art exhibit opening at my other job, and then visited my best friend, showered him in Godzilla gifts, and taught him how to play the Digimon TCG. Don't let me do things tomorrow, please.

MATANGO MENTIONED

It’s not just that this is the world now, it’s that it all happened so suddenly.

Happy May Day! This is a great time to watch this three minute puppet film I made last year, which I promise you is topical.

My best friend asked me last night if I've been following season two of Monarch and I said not even a little bit and realized I haven't really been seeing ANYONE talk about it on here. Not sure what to make of that.

Nobody eats shit like my GOAT.

This is so so SO fucking good:

Yesterday was very good, and so was today. I am grateful to know that there are so many people who love me and brighten my life and I can only hope to be able to do the same for them.

Turned on All Monsters Attack at the art shop, but I've been doing other things and not paying attention. Looked up, saw Godzilla getting shot at by jets, thought "oh did it end and switch to Vs the Sea Monster?" No, no, it's still All Monsters Attack, there's Ichiro and Minilla.

If you're a peer, critic, or editor, I'd love to send you a digital ARC of the book so you can read what you spent so long working on!

Today is my birthday and I am 38, so here's an obligatory birthday suit post:

When will we see those in power encouraging a change in the system so that we are not all burning our candles from both ends? It will benefit everyone in the long run.

Sins of the father, rage of the daughter. Champion Festival fervor and offbeat TV toku grammar crash into the gloomy wreckage of feminine trauma as a sorrowful slag. The evil of Mechagodzilla, an exploitation film’s cruelty, the darkening heart of a woman abused by even the man who loves her most.

Thank you @jayceb.bsky.social for the Deadly Prey print where Godzilla has his cock out!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

April, in summary:

Today is the worst day of this weird nerve pain that I've had since my trip to the ER nearly three weeks ago, and a new development is pain in my arms and hands now, not just the tingling stuff. But I can't see a spinal doctor until just under a month from today. Cool cool.

Oh right. Birthday Wednesday. I was so confused when my boss just asked me what I wanted on my birthday pizza today before we opened. I panicked and said pepperoni and bacon.

Hands down one of the best toy lines of the nineties:

Possibly my favorite Seijun Suzuki film:

Went to the park for a few glorious minutes before rain hit today. Please enjoy some water:

A reminder for people who miss the experience of going to Blockbuster to browse the rows of VHS & DVD's- libraries carry a selection of new & old films. You'd be surprised what you can find just visiting a place that will loan you books. They also have digital services. Support your local library.

Bought myself an early birthday gift today with my employee discount. I did spend a while digging through our truck to find it after seeing it on the invoice:

They scream “only two genders exist!!” But every soul shines in its own irreplaceable color 🌈✨ No matter how loud the hate gets, Chiitan will keep waving this flag until everyone can sparkle as themselves🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Happy anniversary of this not happening

New Mutant corner boxes by the great Bill Sienkiewicz #comicsky

Saw the preview pages of the Sonic Vs Godzilla comic AND the Wolverine Godzilla variant covers to the new *checks notes* Godzilla Conquers the Multiverse comic and I am so tired now

That MRI was the weirdest, most expensive experimental noise show I've ever been to.

looking back at stuff from last year and i don’t think i ever shared this one

For what it's worth, I too was blocked by the guy I'd never heard of before today. Cool.

Went to doctor this morning. Scheduled for a CT scan AND MRI tomorrow because nobody knows what this nerve shit is that I'm roughly a month into enduring. Prepay for my uninsured ass was over 1000 bucks, so uh...does anybody want some art?

Update: I did terribly. Couldn't get any good draws. Getting to the specific Omnimon I use requires five specific cards and getting them was such a huge problem! Also my second opponent was playing an insane, broken ShineGreymon deck.

Just tried acupuncture for the first time to try to help deal with this nerve shit and...huh, I didn't hate it, but boy is it weird.
