we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

Back in November, I volunteered at an event for Daniel Tiger and serendipitously met someone who's related to the Eng dub voice actor of Shikimaru, my fave Naruto character. Guess what came in the mail today. 🙏

Reading Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar and I've never read a work of prose that makes me feel so seen as a spoken word poet. Shit is so spot on that it makes me literally laugh out loud. #slampoetry #spokenword

My favorite difficulty setting menu from a video game has to be from Keep Driving which simply asks what your relationship with your parents is between 1 and 5. #indiegames #keepdriving

Wow if I've learned anything this Spotify wrapped season, its that Spotify is garbage.

I think my favorite unit from any RTS videogame is the Sampson unit from Empire Earth which is just a guy from the stone age carrying a large log that does siege damage.

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

Wonderville in Brooklyn is officially on my top 10 nerdyshit wonders of the world.

I was today years old when I learned that Freddy vs. Jason was directed by the same person who directed Jet Li's Fearless.

Goofy dogs continue to be my best muses #pixelart

Have you ever been so fucking delighted by a username/icon set that it made you follow a total stranger

Pixel pup and his reference image! #pixelart

Trying my hand at pixel art for the first time and enjoying it a lot!

Just finished playing Expedition 33 and it's prob my fave thing ever.

"We have to create; it is the only thing louder than destruction;" From Andrea Gibson's poem, Yellow Bird.

Went to my first writing circle in a long while! Missed writing in community with others a whole bunch.

"HOTTER THAN FISH GREASE"

Been thinking for the past 3 days now about how Mitski described the moon as a hole of light in a big top tent. Sometime a metaphor just hits.

Had a dream someone was beating the shit out of me and woke up to my dog standing on top of my chest

Thinking about radical imagination, the belief that before we can create a just and healthy world for the people most impacted by oppression, we have to imagine it. We have to dream about it with stories and characters and possibilities that might not yet exist.

Wow, really loved watching Ne Zha 2 despite going into it knowing nothing. Some of the most creative fight scenes and solid writing I've seen in a children's animation movie in a hot second.

1st book finished for 2025 is This Is Where I Am by Zeke Caliguiri. We grew up not too far from each other, and it's bringing me back reading the city of South MPLS as a character in this memoir. Really appreciated this book.

Still thinking about Kendrick's halftime show and how in a world where it feels like everybody is caving to the demands of the politics of fear and yt supremacy, Kendrick says nah imma do me on the biggest stage. That's something giving me a lot of hope rn.

Just finished watching Nickel Boys and am processing all that came with it. Such a visual puzzle board between the POV and intercutting. I'm reminded of Jay Z's music video for 4:44 and how so much of its meaning is pulled from seemingly unrelated clips interwoven into the main footage.

How might we promote our projects, events, campaigns, art, values, etc *beyond* social media? There's no one magic key, but some friends and I did some brainstorming and skill-sharing. Hope it can useful to artists, musicians, organizers, small business owners, and beyond:

Watching The Warriors at the Trylon with my younger bros and remembering making plans in high school to attend the 45th anniversary cosplaying as the Savage Huns, the only Asian gang depicted in this fictional NYC. I wasn't very cool in high school.

Just wrapped up a long day that ended with me teaching a intro to documentary film editing with a group of Hmong history keepers! Exhausted but FEELIN THE ART FLOW THROUGH MY VEINS!

Hello world! My name is Kevin. I love spoken word poetry, making/watching movies, playing video games, and climbing mountains at a casual pace. Follow to hear how I'm processing this big blue world! #intropost
