i couldn't sleep and decided to go through my list for movies that clock in at an hour, and on a whim chose LOOK BACK, which has been on my list for a couple years. it made me cry so hard i woke my partner up and watched it again with him. it's so beautiful and human, please watch it

my quest to get through all the shonen anime on my list while i'm housebound felt a bit doomed with this foray into death note, but in desperation i started another one about metastasizing plant gods who lure people to their island to suck the life out of them, this feels more aligned with me

is it supposed to be a comedy

i've continued to watch death note while i draw. one of the characters just plucked a strawberry off his cake, handed it to a cop saying "i'll give you the strawberry if you keep it a secret," and the cop made a pleased noise and put it in his pocket?? ???? ?????????????

Through researching for Hotblood I've found all kinds of incredible historians who I'm now a huge fan of, but there's one guy in particular who spends years bonding with and training horses for medieval reenactments and I want to ask that guy specifically what it's like to be living my dream life

Been bedbound/housebound for a bit again and Onion has decided to help by finding increasingly creative ways to wake me/my partner up, culminating in this morning when I woke up to my partner quietly freaking out because Onion was trying to lick my teeth like a fucking remora

watching death note for the first time and i might need to give up, the fucking dub translation for one of the lines was "he might be mogging you" i can't

stuart semple is a bit of a provocateur but the more i work in ttrpg the more i think he was on to something with his "anyone can use these paints except for anish kapoor" schtick

spending this sunday afternoon feeling normal* as usual *thinking about the transition in tempo during viserys ii's leitmotif that plays during the dinner scene in S1e8 of house of the dragon and lying face down in the mud about it

I'm out of spaghetti and tried making cacio e pepe with instant ramen noodles on a whim, and it worked SO WELL lol it was like four times easier than traditional cacio e pepe

The more uncanny, sterile AI art I see, the more messy human art I crave.

it's so cool and sexy how a medication i've been taking for over a decade that is key to helping me do things like "remember to eat" and "shower" is now something that necessitates drug testing bc a boiled raisin in washington d.c. thinks it's the same as meth

My insomnia’s been flaring again which mean I’ve been awake at the kind of hours where I now have a much more intimate portrait of the local Procyon lotor dating scene than I ever wanted

A new calendar month, must be time to reread The Name of the Rose again

you could make a diagram of this but for the gyaru/gal character archtype

the sound my partner just made when he discovered the grocery store is doing a sale on haagen dazs for $3.50/pint was so full of anticipatory delight that my cat came running in bc he thought he had a treat for him lmfao

Just saw some puff piece where a celebrity called another celebrity a Knight Templar right as I’m reading a history of the order and I understand the compliment she was trying to give him but I feel like maybe she doesn’t know what ended up happening to the Knights Templar

Name your top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only Mad Men Shōgun A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms I, Claudius The Terror (S1) Squid Game (S1) The Sopranos Fleabag Boardwalk Empire Deadwood Neon Genesis Evangelion Andor Channel Zero (S2 especially) BoJack Horseman Rome

Noe Valley, Temescal, Atherton

my falconer was hyping me up all week and saying "Friday is Falcon Day" and "Falcon Incoming Alert" and shit like that and then this is what he brings me

Made kai jeow and poori for lunch. Only a minority of the poori puffed up enough to use them properly as pockets, maybe I didn't pinch them thin enough? (You can tell this is my partner's portion because there's also pourover full caf coffee and chili crisp dipping sauce lol I miss you both so much)

My partner’s in an all hands meeting which means someone remembered that I exist again

america needs more lighthouses. every few miles on every shore. that's a lot of lighthouse keeper jobs. you could do it. every night just you and the light and the infinite sea. you sleep days and in summer the sun hangs for a moment and fades just as you wake up. when pizza's on a bagel you can hav

my partner's only ever made eggs one of two ways at home (fried or scrambled) so during his visit i've been showing him how to make different kinds of eggs. so far we've made french omelette and scamble, kai jeow, layered chinese omelette. today he told me i'm like the willy wonka of eggs lmfao

today's warmup is in honor of the season three house of the dragon trailer dropping this morning

is the plural of milf "milfs" or "milves"?

Cliff swallows, newly arrived from Argentina and Brazil, build nests each spring under bridges around California. There are several good spots to watch.

27 weeks in, with an extra shot of one of the leaves on my broadleaf plantain plant, some of the biggest i've ever seen (and still growin', i'm gonna make so much salve lol)

M: Still up? Me: Yeah just woke up actually M: Aw babe ❤️ M: Insomnia again? Me: Nah it’s more like, you know how hangovers make your bones hurt so much you can’t stop noticing the meat that’s wrapped around them and it keeps you from falling asleep? M: M: is that what a hangover is to you…?

“If you ask tobacco companies to help write your school’s policy on cigarettes…you’re going to end up with guidance on how to smoke responsibly in school.”

Few things challenge my resolution to reject misanthropy like getting playtest feedback that basically amounts to "I think this design doesn't work [because I didn't read the directions that are written at the top of the page in bold lettering]"

“No”

The Name of the Rose, by Umberto Eco

PW starred review :*)

How is this pronounced, wrong answers only

people will tell you that you can't cultivate ramps. this is not true! i planted this patch at the edge of the woods two years ago and it comes back bigger every spring 🌱

can’t sleep so decided to watch through my watch later list on youtube, and it reminded me that i’ve had a question burning a hole in my mind for the last few years why are mr. beast’s eyes like that (dead, hollow)?

If people think AI can do what a person does, then the bar they set for what people do is too low and their egos are too high. They deserve pushback for their arrogance, at minimum.

sketch to final

Woke up from a dream about suffocating in a sleeping bag to find that Onion curled his enormous furry body around my entire head like a facehugger from the Alien franchise and I was actually for real suffocating

“Even if the actual emissions from these power plants end up being half of the emissions numbers on the permits, they still could create more greenhouse gas emissions than the country of Norway emitted in 2024.”

I thought this was D’Aulaire’s for a split second

Children of Men but it’s about the youngest person on earth named Doris

It’s surreal going to urgent care when you have a chronic complex illness. I’m pretty good at recognizing a flare now, but sometimes it’s enough pain that I’m like hm maybe it’s my appendix exploding I should check, and after six hrs the doctors call you a liar and send you home with a $200 Tylenol

El Faro, creator of the Mission burrito, might close after a rent hike. It should be preserved, argues critic Cesar Hernandez — even if the burrito is not what it used to be.
