prints of some of my best film photos from the last year are available (probably not for super long) on emilyalisonzhou.darkroom.com

I'm seeing a lot more bios and press releases from touring acts that have the form of language but violate the fundamentals of sense and meaning. Obviously this is "AI" slop, but the fact it gets past multiple readers before making it to my inbox indicates a pretty startling culture of illiteracy.

anyway if you pirate my work all I ask is that you please seed so others can download it too

thanks to whoever keeps streaming like two minutes of each of my tracks on bandcamp and then skipping to the next one

Alexander Bogdanov's Red Star but the protagonist is Monsieur Hulot

Dhalgren the Movie

being a writer and shilling for corporate publishing is like working at mcdonalds and praying to the hamburgler

im pirating ur books, deleting them, then pirating them again until u have to declare bankruptcy

I like how if I search for my hometown on here it's just a bunch of National Weather Service flood and tornado warnings

upstate new york :(

Drop out of life With bong in hand Follow the smoke Toward the riff filled land Proceeds the Weedian Nazareth

the story behind my career is I don't like to work

I'm getting better at chess puzzles :)

back in my day if we wanted to have a bad trip we just smoked a bongload of pure salvinoran A and put on de-loused in the comatorium

The Way of the Samurai is found in death. Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears, and swords. Being carried away by surging waves. Being thrown into the midst of

I'm so tired of small town, small-minded venues and arts organizations that are afraid of adventurous transsexual art. I'm trying to bring them fire from Olympus and they're huddled around a cheap led desk lamp.

a movie is a dream you can share with your friends

just heard Mozart's concerto for two pianos. I didn't know he was gay!

I got interested in a friend's work on non-places, so Amy took me to Applebee's. Incredible!

nobody knows what poetry is, least of all small press editors

trans day of remembrance is always hard for me cause I smoke a lot of weed

Sometimes when a call center agent tries to use an empathy statement on me I like to use their own scripts back at them. Reflect damage.

some times I like to share my old work on here cause I think it's cool and I want people to hear the sounds that I made

How do you tell someone what the ocean felt like bursting? The church was engulfed and mutual aid was requested. It’s not dark like closing your eyes. Everything closes to sameness. Thought: oh no I’m dying oops. isobelbess.bandcamp.com/album/what-t...

gonna watch Happy Hour and Drive My Car this week :)

I got a congratulations email for my two year work anniversary at a nonprofit job that I left months ago

it's so funny that the lambda literary retreat is just a low tier zoom workshop scam now

something you may not know about me is I'm in constant hellish excruciating pain because my spine is degenerating and most of my joints are unstable to various degrees and I've got some other neurological shit going on that confuses doctors. now you know :)

slingers!

Here's one for the peasants. Post your most rural opinion. I'll go first: dogs should not be allowed indoors.

I thought it could never happen to me but fuckin Paul Schrader has got me reading Gilles Deleuze on the films of Yasujiro Ozu

I see a lot of people using print on demand services and shit to "make' "zines" and idk about that. seems bad!

Paul Schrader showing up at the end of the movie voice: Carl Th. Dreyer, welcome to the Avengers.

I knew it would be cold up here but I did not know it would also rain/sleet/snow continuously and that I would never see the sun again

if you got a copy of my zine please photocopy it for a friend

they should make a weed-based linux distro

me installing linux on a six year old thinkpad

so basically you've got slow cinema (catholic) and slow cinema (buddhist). goodbye dragon inn is weirdly both.

hobby suggestions: breaking down boxes, installing Linux, trying out different allergy medications, counting bollards

Recreational ketamine is loser shit. Always has been. It's worse than coke, an awful drug for the most annoying people you've ever met. Seeing people with big platforms work to inflate its cultural value gives me the same sick feeling as seeing people shill for gambling and AI.

yeah apparently I have something called "exploding head syndrome"

🤔

What doesn't get highlighted enough: bans on trans care almost never end just at healthcare specific to us. They're often a cover for just refusing to treat trans people period, for anything. Broken bone? Surgery complications? Infection? Bigoted medical institutions are happy to let us die.

whenever I sign off an email with "is" and someone responds by calling me "Isobel," that's how I know they're not on the level

writing about time 😈

got so high I microwaved an empty plate and when I opened the door I got scared cause I thought my sandwich disappeared
