happy Thanksgiving! a tip: if you’re trans and your family get-together is comprised of just one (1) neonazi relative, i recommend reveling in the fact that your existence scares the absolute shit out of them! enjoy yourself, baby! let the fucker squirm! reclaim some power there! they won’t do shit!

I watched it and then had to listen to the Avett Brothers song you put in those that don’t see it. Felt right doing that.

connor dwight stans rise up i guess

and so another foundational work in the ‘verse comes to an end. congrats to literally everyone involved 💕 genuinely putting off watching it until later tonight because i am so antsy about this one being over. great great series

SUBWAYTAKES GUY: So what’s your take POORLY DISGUISED BLACK BEAR: Campers should leave more food out

how could any artist think their flacid attempts at true catharsis could hold water after the release of Babe: Pig in the City (1998)

having enough odd diverging interests for content that enable each of my audiences to be extremely small is kind of the best thing i could have asked for. love how so few people like *all* the stuff i make. that’s GOOD. engage with 10% of me at all times, so i may remain free

whether this is a discussion about relapse, stunted development, vulnerability, armchair diagnoses, or the exhausting talks of culture informing violence—are we all finally in a place where we can at least say “i hope she is back someplace safe and is okay” or are we all still being weird about that

nomadic life has taught me that the new york deli run takes many shapes throughout the country. the wawa run. the kelley’s run. the buc-ee’s run. the quicktrip run. cigarettes and red bulls await at midnight everywhere. go get em

yall seen @justcampbell.bsky.social’s slenderverse series yet it’s good as hell, here’s a trailer for it

bro stole my domain name

Hey, Red vs. Blue fan people: I’ve locked in the general structure for my “Re-Restoration” fan series’ nineteen episodes—so here are their official titles: roosterteeth.com/user/VLuisaS...

been experiencing enough folk music in one week’s time again that i am having my bi-yearly “should i learn how to play guitar” moment

trans day of rest. trans week of chill. trans year of taking a nap

thanks i really fucking dislike it

oscar isaac victor frankenstein: [being the abjectly biggest piece of shit freak nerd u can imagine] me: [twirling a single curl] mhm

/w @vluisasantiago.bsky.social

last night we whooped and hollered at the hot dog machine on an episode of HOW IT’S MADE and we have somethingawful user victor surge to thank for that

fun personal test would be to note whether the idea of a cop threatening to kick one of these guys off the train for playing loud music excites you & then soul-searching as needed

the thematics of RRH can’t exist without folk music—since the slenderverse itself draws so heavily from the folkloric angle of retelling/personalizing an existing story. i talk about this a bit with @flamingbuttwind.bsky.social on the commentary track for the first season, if you’re interested!

That said (😏), If you haven’t seen my essays on communal art, the western apprehension to metaphor, and the practices of revisitation, reaction, and injecting personality into Play, here’s a neat lil playlist. Be kind; I talk out of my butt, but also, my soul (which is butt-shaped)

discovering on my hundredth rewatch of Llewyn that, how much of an asshole you think this guy is, is *largely* dependent on the viewer’s class standing? when i first saw this movie i thought this dude was an absolute monster?? now i just think he’s just a bit of a jerk having a hard time???

i’m only posting this quick clip from my new video essay because i need to share the genuine stomach-dread that compiling all these title cards created in me

since they’re not made by the same filmmakers i can’t say Dinner In America is a thematic remake of Inside Llewyn Davis so i just invented the phrase “thematic reincarnation” ur welcome

new yorkers have raised a single seven figure to help pay for andrew cuomo’s mandatory bottom surgery (real)

Greyhound just confused me into getting a $117 ticket for a bus that departed 5 mins from purchase (i entered a date near the end of the month but they gave me a today-ticket as the top result anyway) so i can’t refund it, yay ☺️☺️☺️☺️ if u wanna help out feel free lol i’ll figure it out either way

it’s so funny how many folks complain about the language angle to “they” being a “non-singular” pronoun but like, if you use it a bunch singularly anyway it eventually ~feels~ singular? language can be fluid and culture can help redefine more rigid words??

every time i ever bought a snack or indulgent meal with my SNAP card i felt like a guilty freak who didn’t deserve food. shit is so fucked to “have to” feel

slasher movies were rly cinema’s last hurrah for puns. haven’t seen a good pun in a movie in years

genuinely good one

so much of the holdup on redredhat2 had been about working through the realtime element of the show—being sure that the time between the end of Arc I and the time gap between seasons was accounted for in Arc II. once i hit “fuck it” on that, the writing process became so much simpler

kevin feige pls allow me to play alejandra jones’ ghost rider in the marvel movies. i know that i am not nicaraguan but i also know u and disney only care about that stuff performatively so lets just do it 🤝 we can write it together & u can pass me up for stephanie beatriz at the last second

ok is anyone else having the same thought i am having upon first seeing this image

the scariest thing about being nomadic is having to explain the concept of “relative safety” to people that spent their whole lives housed. in a sentence, i personally am safer out in the world than i ever could be *with myself* in one place.

gotta shoot my shot u understand

yall beat me to this one yet

i think all movies/filmed art should be a vehicle for the director to shamelessly play their favorite music ala every gregg araki movie ever. if not then what the hell's even the point

nothing i love more than meeting brilliant people who dig my work and within ten minutes of knowing them come clean that i know about three things and two of them are “slender man” and “what the word ‘theme’ means”

literally womenagainstfilm.com

guys what if i did something like this but for redredhat and with like a medley of music from redredhat, for no other reason other than “i want to look cool in a music video again”

come say hey if you’re in New York in a few hours! if you’re not in New York in a few hours then buddy idk what to tell u that’s where and when it is @whykevinwhyyy.bsky.social

hey just wanted to apologize for my mentor; he shouldnt have made u chop off the tips of all your fingers & paint an accurate rendering of Saturn Devours His Son in blood 😔 i hope despite jigsaws behavior we can still be friends 🫂 u should have appreciated ur life, if thats not like, blamey to say 😬

greatest moment of this past month was being on the phone with a friend from out of state while i bought cigarettes in nyc. heard me call the guy “boss” and everything. magical

did anyone else know u can just have ur own little book printed and shipped for less than ten bucks? haha yea anyways my new essay starts production in two weeks

In recent viewing of well-researched essays that do great archival work—& reflecting on my priorities w/ essays as exploration beyond intent—I wanted to spotlight my one true attempt at academia, since it turns two years old tomorrow: the final Conclusion of my “Literal” Essay (beginning at 42:35).

repeating “do not idolize this man, hold him accountable, maintain focus” in the mirror over and over because he’s just so darn cool and quick with it

let’s remember to have the energy that one comic shop nerd had with jon bernthal when he was cast as punisher, but with mamdani as mayor; wanna hear a lot of “don’t fuck this up”s once the high recedes. thank u

Zohran says you’re trans now

mayor mamdani sir what is your favorite Marble Hornets Entry

let this be a lesson that sexual predators can eat shit. we do not forget.
