I read the entirety of The Chrysalids while I was waiting at the ER (I'm fine, thankfully) and that was also a banger book

I wonder what Garak thought of Seska, since they both worked for the Obsidian Order. Maybe he thought of her as an incompetent co-worker, given that she was dumb enough to leave Voyager, her best shot at going home, and throw her lot in with the Kazon

I like this anecdote from the actor who played Dunk in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. "I can't compete with hot OR smart! I better do some reps in the bathroom"

It's funny that Tim Burton was kicked off the Batman franchise partly because WB felt he made Batman Returns too horny when Batman Forever had Nicole Kidman presenting herself to Val Kilmer like a mandrill and Batman and Robin had Poison Ivy answer Robin with, "How 'bout slippery when wet?"

I always thought it was kind of funny that it's just a one year difference between Channing Tatum doing Run The World (Mostly just supposed to be "Ha ha he's in drag") and Tom Holland doing Umbrella (Genuinely sexy)

Maybe it's the fever talking but I watched 17 Again for the first time and it was hella charming, also RIP Matthew Perry and Michelle Trachtenberg :(

I used to just rewatch the Batman bangers (Feat of Clay, Heart of Ice) but now I appreciate the sillier episodes. The one where Catwoman turns into a furry. The one where you think Killer Croc's found his people with circus folk but turns out sometimes killer crocodiles, like people, are just jerks

This movie was like VisDev: The Movie

Only eligible for under 24 years of age?? Booooo. What if I was just slightly over.... by about... 18 years

Every Frame a Painting has a new video out and it's about colour in film in case any of you are interested, my followers who are disproportionately film geeks and colour artists: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5P2...

This is getting out of hand

I remember there was a once a list that was like "Birds who look like newly divorced women" and this is definitely one of them.

These stats are very interesting! "Andor was still the most-streamed Star Wars show among Millennials (30 to 45) and Gen X (46 to 61). The Mandalorian was most-streamed among Gen Alpha (2 to 13) and Boomers (62 to 80). Gen Z (14 to 29) preferred Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series."

Happy May the Fourth! Here is some Star Wars art I've done in the past.

Someone at work made Han Solo in (coffee jello) carbonite and s'mores TIE fighters for May the Fourth!!!

Summer weather in Vancouver

It's been almost 20 years, but I still haven't seen a penultimate episode of a TV series as good as Avatar's, where the writers got to make fun of themselves, the show, the fans (especially cosplayers and slashfic writers) while also indulging in fun stagecraft special effects. SO good.

We're watching the Simpsons on Disney Plus and Sloth is getting mad at the ad breaks and all I can think of is at least these commercials mean 3D animators were hired for a job, that's how low I have sunk

I'm wasting time by taking an internet quiz to see what lower decks character I am and this question came out just as I watch Sloth play video games

I'm embarrassed to say I'm reading a lot of dystopian books for the first time (Day of the Triffids and just finished Brave New World). I'm really enjoying them but I hope they don't turn me into an obnoxious 19-year-old "Wow. Really makes you think about Our Society" redditor.

Whenever I'm accidentally logged out of youtube or reddit and see what the algorithms point to without my account, it's like staring into a bleak abyss

Pleinair at Lighthouse Park with Lower Decks BG Paint team

I'm so terrible with technology. My ringtone is a music box version of the Sherlock theme that I put on in 2010 or so, and I haven't changed it since.

Animation by Holger Leihe* | The Iron Giant (1999) #penciltest #sakuga #genga #2danimation

I have four social outings this week and I feel really happy. Am I...... extroverted

Had dinner with some of my Lower Decks BG Paint team, I love my team very much ;_;

One of my favourite pieces is from @bychrischeung.bsky.social about this guy in Vancouver who used to hang around skytrain stations selling baklava. We just called him Baklava Man and then he turned out to be a former independent Syrian parliamentarian?? thetyee.ca/News/2018/04...

I got three vaccines today :|

Summer weather

One thing I appreciate about Sloth as a partner is he has amazing faith in me, despite any evidence to the contrary

keep thinking about the full body spin kent mansley does in the iron giant when he takes the radio

Oscar Isaac would be one of the wily people who brings ziploc bags in his purse to bring home a extra free slider from the animation wrap parties

I never realized how much xoJane was inoculating the rest of the Internet from bad takes until it went away

One of the biggest cognitive distortions I see on the internet is "Me and/or my friends really liked something, or even just remember it existing, therefore that thing was a universally beloved classic and ubiquitous part of culture"

Watched "Honor Among Thieves". Man, O'Brien can't even get a pet cat like a normal person, he only gets a cat after betraying his new criminal friend while undercover and indirectly causing his death

"Not only have I never seen this movie, I have never seen more than five consecutive episodes of Star Trek in my life ... and I fucking love this movie"

We brought @ladyemily.nebula.tv to the studio and she played beyblades!

Every so often I think about the Ferengi Landlord Cops bit from Lower Decks and I’m reminded that whoever wrote it is one of the greatest comedic minds of the 21st century

A llama? He's supposed to be dead!

I’m at a point where my high schoolers know not even superficial elements about Star Trek, but half of every class I teach can rattle off several anime they like from multiple different genres.

If Paramount is going to keep trying to reach the youth with Star Trek (as evidenced by Star Trek: Prodigy and Starfleet Academy), I think they should do a Star Trek anime series because as far as I can tell, the youth are all about anime

Bloedel Conservatory

Heron colony in Stanley Park

There's only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

I am (hopefully) going on a trip next month and casually told my gym receptionist who is from that country, and then she not only sent me a google spreadsheet carefully written with recommendations, but also the contact information of her mother, brother, and best friend in case I get into trouble!!

Still cannot get over how casually beautiful Vancouver is in the spring. Insouciant, really.

Patton Oswalt's improvised Star Wars filibuster on Parks and Rec was seen as epic and funny when it aired, now it's an ominous warning

I told Sloth that New Zealand sent an envoy to the US to ask for fuel tankers to the Pacific to alleviate some of the fuel pressure except I used the slang "kiwi" and Sloth thought I meant they sent a literal kiwi bird to the US to plead. "Look at how sad he is! He can't fly! He needs a plane!"
