Uniquely prepared for this week having just read a book that retold Wuthering Heights in the world of ice dance.

Well the neighborhood just exploded - fireworks, cheering - so I guess I'll be watching another parade from work?

Opting for The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo as this year's Superbowl counter-programming.

Truly why did they not take points off for this

Listen. I love being able to watch a full event, well done, but with two minutes of commercials between every 45 second snowboard run, at what point should Peacock be paying *me* to watch the Olympics.

As far as I can tell, DailyMotion is entirely funded by Adobe ads suggesting you use AI to a) predict that people will buy shorts later this year or b) analyze & interpret legal documents.

Watching my tiny prince Yuma Kagiyama skate like *now* it feels like the Olympics.

A reminder: in 1924 at the very first Winter Olympics at least two athletes broke both their legs. Absolutely bananapants event from the start.

We're not doing the whole Sámi film festival this year, but tonight was this gorgeous documentary, so glad we went!

One of my first Muppet picks - though I was thinking more to be the human cast member in a feature - has always been Tony Leung. For hosting, Julie Delpy comes to mind first, don't ask me why but also I'm correct on this.

Obsessed with these sign-bearer looks. #olympics

I just did this again 😭

I have a funky little letterboxd #lastfourwatched for y'all today: two short Olympics docs (loved the silent!) & two Edward Yang - one feature and one filmed play.

I'm watching The Olympic Games Held at Chamonix in 1924, really fun, & I just found the lesbians at the hockey final.

As we work to make housing more affordable, renters across the city need to keep speaking out. That’s why today we’re launching our Mayoral Renter’s Survey. forms.office.com/g/B1K37QsKtf www.instagram.com/reel/DUY32i7...

Stoked to see that Happyend is coming to Criterion Channel next week. It's a lovely movie about prankster students resisting a surveillance state, can't imagine how that might be relevant.

View of the ICE Out of Schools demonstration when I got to the office this afternoon. (It grew after this, and now they're on the move.)

We were just talking about this yesterday. I'd been working at the City for not even three weeks and I watched the parade from Councilmember Godden's office. A bananas day downtown.

I forgot there was a video for this song, because I knew it from a novelty music AM radio show when I was a kid. (I'm very cool.)

I'm watching a Thai show now that is like "why would you ask ChatGPT how to make a rice dish when you could simply ask a talking cat."

I feel like it's not said enough that everyone starting their own newsletter is also not sustainable for people who simply want to read the news.

I haven't seen this since it came out, but unfortunately (as my coworkers recently learned) I can do this whole speech on command.

Had to finish an Edward Yang movie, but now it's time to get caught up on Starfleet Academy. #firstvoyage

I don't know about you but I definitely need a DTH GOD license plate sticker.

Welcome to my IG feed, where "Blocking Clinic" can mean either knitting or roller derby.

So excited to see that Tasveer is finally opening! & they're opening with Cactus Pears & All That's Left of You, both of which I want to see (especially the former, which I know Grand Illusion also has as a pop-up this weekend.)

Tfw your coworker saw Marty Supreme over the weekend and you have to be like ... I haven't seen that, but I did see this movie where a ghost possessed a vacuum cleaner.

Tfw you're at an art house film and the only actor you recognize is a woman who played a vampire CEO in a BL series.

Honestly I wouldn't even be mad about the queerbaiting - I've been in fandom long enough - but when you follow that with a bury your gays....

Meanwhile in Seattle it never got cold enough to wear my Arthur Dent coat, but we did eat lunch outside yesterday.

Woke up to the news that more Alice Isn't Dead is coming this year, the perfect motivation for me to make good on that "listen to podcasts again" thing (though I still wish for a StoryGraph/letterboxd-type tracker.)

Jodie Foster silently crying on the bus and being like "what? No I'm fine" is the queer representation I was looking for, thank u A Private Life.

I do love a stripey sweater, but Jesus H Christ there are so many ends to weave in. Like an entire season of The Night Manager worth of ends.

I can obviously focus on a movie in the theater - one of my best experiences last year was finally seeing Jeanne Dielman - but if I'm at home I might very well split a movie over two days.

Watching Hedda at Cinerama like

I assume HBO is talking about two different movies here.

By the way, Reddit does seem to be the easiest way to get a tidy list of Regal's repertory calendar, also at least in Seattle they're only eight bucks.

Time for letterboxd #lastfourwatched! The obvious highlight here is Hard Boiled restored & in the theater; truly I am in my Golden Princess era!

Bsky has me feeling really judged over my PBJ process this morning, but it's fine. As I often say: I am high maintenance, but I handle all of these needs myself.

Went to an absolutely trash movie tonight about cops making up crime & escalating situations so they can keep their jobs, good thing that's something that only happens in the movies, oh wait.

I didn't even click through the George Washington video and yet I've spent the last half hour with "he'll save the children, but not the British children" on a loop in my head. #twelvestorieshighmadeofradiation

This is exactly why I've been watching a lil BL or GL almost every night for the past six years. Gentle queer stories with HEAs, or as I have said all along: romance novels on my tv.

I was unprepared for how gorgeous this restoration is! One more chance to see it, Seattle!

Had a weird feeling that I'd missed a week of #firstvoyage, but no, it's just that last Monday was a really long time ago. Just one episode left of Disco S3!

SIFF is showing the *dub* of Arco? That's embarrassing. (It looks like the Crest might be getting the original French cast.)

Are we ready for that Lubitsch Touch?

The ridiculousness around logistics and "antifa supply lines" just reminds me of how it's largely women who bear the extra labor of planning even office parties. Yes we have supply lines it's called Costco.

During a quiet moment late in Resurrection, a person two rows in front of me yelled TURN OFF YOUR PHONE, & immediately a flock of birds took off in the movie. Incredible timing. My hero.

The temptation to throw out my plan and just watch Peter Hujar's Day again now that it's on Criterion Channel.
