It's time to learn that true creative acts only follow from the folly of love, fucker

Can't believe I auditioned for the Bloodborne movie and they laughed in my face. Jacksepticeye told me my form was too corporeal and effable 😔 I hate Ireland now

Raging Bull <3

Bro link up! We're hitting the Potemkin village later 🤙🤪 What do you mean the ale is actually swill and the roast rotten? I'm going to report you 🫵 to the bailiff for being a little bitch

The "Anatomy of a Fall" bit made me burst out laughing in my very open, very quiet office this morning

Each and every one of us deserves a future. It's high time we stopped letting a handful of people decide that we don't.

What offences did I commit in a past life to warrant me having the least employable interests possible in this one? They must have been really bad

Artemis II captures first pictures of the far side of the moon

Walter Benjamin correctly states that a key aspect of Fascism is the aestheticization of politics. Don't let anyone ever tell you that a film, a show, a book, a video game etc is apolitical. Apolitical art is a fantasy.

In light of the #NS government's cuts to arts, heritage, and culture, I am once again tapping the sign

Only a few hours into RE9, but holy cow this game has a lot of The Evil Within DNA in it (positive)

happy re9 to those who celebrate

Feel like my job is actively killing me but

My gentle Puck, come hither.

If there's one thing I've learned from reading The Iliad, it's that men have always been really dumb

The only recourse I can think of re: the Epstein files is to, A. prosecute all of those motherfuckers, and B. ensure that NO ONE has wealth enough to organize something like that ever again.

My workplace is axing our hybrid work from home arrangement (which has worked flawlessly), and I cannot emphasize enough how tired I am of being at the behest of octogenarian men who have wet dreams about post-war economies

Missed #LetterboxdFriday yesterday, but I've been watching some kino

I love that The Iliad begins with the girls fighting. Achilles tore Agamemnon up here tho fr
