This was an insta-back for me: it looks vibrant, vital, with a team that will do justice to the content. If "anti-capitalist-colonialist deckbuilder with gorgeous art" appeals to you as much as it does me, there's still half a day left to back

Happy Twink Peaks day!!!

Correct amount of paneer

Hundreds of Beavers is just so good

Learning some Paul Gilbert

Got a hearing aid! And some jewellery to go with it

The impact of Frederick Wiseman on nonfiction filmmaking was seismic beyond measure and beyond compare. Like how do you even begin to consider his influence on documentary technique or his decades of insight into how institutions (and artistic spaces) operate? What a treasure. R.I.P.

Every day Poptart climbs up to my kid's bed and surveys his domain

Thinking about becoming the kind of person who can make phone calls without overthinking them, as a bit

Found one of my favourite paintings 😭😭😭😭😭 Monk by the Sea by Caspar David Friedrich

Thousand Yard Mansplain Stare

Discovering an old friend has had a kid by seeing them log Despicable Me 3 on Letterboxd no fewer than 13 times in one week, with slowly decreasing numbers of stars

Berlin, I am in you

it kind of sucks that you can only play metroidbrainias once bc once you know the information you can't unlearn it what if they made a version where instead of knowledge, they're actual gates in the game, call it gatetroidbrainia

Genuine q for other folks with MCAS: (please note if you do not have MCAS and reply unhelpfully to this, I will block you for wasting all of our time) If you regularly wake up to anaphylactoid crises in the middle of the night, what is your support strategy? Do you live w/ someone you can wake up?

Pot of paint fell out of cupboard Spilled directly on Poptart Paint-soaked cat then sprinted around the house, painting every part of the house purple

Guy with a Pearl Earring

Made my annual trip to the Edinburgh JMW Turner exhibition, my heart is full

Watched Deaf President Now! (2025), which is one of the best documentaries I've seen, and such an energising film about collective power letterboxd.com/film/deaf-pr...

Haircut, coffee

Having what I imagine is the average experience fighting Malenia in Elden Ring

Me watching a film: Yeah, I think I could find a way to undo that complex rope knot and untie myself Me trying to get a paper event bracelet off: Oh god oh god I'm fused to this for the rest of my mortal life

My partner just signed off an email with "hope you are surviving the horrors etc." and I think I might use that for every message I write

Reached the point of the baristas in my local coffee place saying "the usual?" when I go in and feel like I have ascended to a higher plane of existence

Can't believe they used thr Skibidi Toilet music in Marty Supreme

Watched Yi Yi at the cinema and my god it's incredible I saw it nearly 10 years ago, but I feel it so much more now I'm older. It feels like life, so huge and small, full of feeling and distance, quiet love
