Aranofsky getting tortured by Roko's Basilisk for abusing AI actors on set somehow

i so wonder what this coyote felt and thought as it looked at alcatraz from the shore

i think i'm never thinking about my voice more than when i'm teaching because i still don't know how to not feel the artifice of my attempts to voice train yet and if i ever failed to communicate to my students the warmth and encouragement and i want them to feel i would be kinda devastated

it's an uncomfortable thought to admit but renee good and alex pretti have had me thinking about this song more than usual and i already think about it a *lot* (never listened to this live version before btw but wow)

oh no

Thank you, Rachel, for putting on this mascara, crying a bunch of different types of tears, and reporting your results, in one of your first acts of the new year.

the piccolo part near the end of this will never not get me

me when i was like 12 and needed my pasta to be sooooooo al dente

yoo just got $53.66 from a criterion collection class action suit i knew being insufferable would pay off eventually 😇

nothing like going to a cold day matinee in a small theater and chatting with a sweet old man about brady corbet and mona fastvold’s films before it starts 🥲

i love watching my neighbor unfreeze her birdbath with some hot water on winter mornings with my cat. our enclosure feels sooo enriched

i’m feeling like this is gonna be my commute music again today and i think if someone told me they had a stable favorite track i would have such a hard time imagining that! every time i listen i feel like there’s a song i didn’t give its due before (currently sawdust & diamonds <3)

feel like i’m looking kind of cute today — it’s nice to have a lil color back now that i‘m not sick anymore

yet another day ending in y; you know that that means; that‘s right it‘s y for Ys the acclaimed 2006 album by joanna newsom and yes i am yet again listening to it

needed this!!

i'm really going to miss this job when the university's newest round of union busting ends my position later this year but there is only so much of my life i can stomach giving to a frankly evil institution anyway; it can feel worth it for things like these but there is a cost to the soul

gosh i love it when a student attends so closely to the emotional details of a work that they see or feel something i hadn't noticed, it's such a gift

thinking about the emotional version of this 🥲

chicago is on some narnia shit rn

no birds out in the snow today but maybe i can go show them what i learned :)

well i've ended up crying many times since this anyway so that was a futile effort. thankfully crying is good

My heart is broken, so many times it seems impossible. But to have a heart still capable of breaking is to be in the fight, to know of a life lived otherwise. We will grant them no rest; we will know no greater joy and pleasure. Freedom is ours, we just need to take it

One day this great violent abomination upon the earth will be ended. Why shouldn't we see that day? What greater tribute could we pay to those weve lost then to live even one day in the light of true freedom and liberation?

it needs to stop i want it to end please please please we have to this country this system is incompatible with human life stop it’s over let’s build something real please please there’s so much to love please

the purpose of murder is to murder a human being. the murderer wants you to second guess your natural response towards abuse. there are no more limits. you have to stop abusers you can’t be the superego that reasons about their bestial impulses.

this has to be the thing that ends it. something will be, so why not this

there’s something so soothing about watching birds when it’s really cold. if that starling or that junco or that cardinal can manage so can i :))

listened to some weyes blood while doing my shot today as a little treat, dale cooper style

pov you’re my cat on the arm of my chair and i know that you are going to bite me

problematic age gap relationship between rocks and moss

had Shower Thoughts about this and Rashōmon for some reason. the first line, 分からない, "i don't understand," is repeated by the woodcutter near the end, even after the new testimonies. and yet he still adopts the abandoned child

accidentally wore my Always Carry A Book sweatshirt from pilsen community books while teaching my first (zoom) class this morning whoops lol

i’ve decided that my birthday falling on shot day later this week means i’m going to have a good year

ohh i love the distinction he draws between knowing and understanding here. i don’t know if this is precisely how he means it, but i keep noticing the way the mechanism of understanding can block knowing in a way that enervates or freezes

this cold got me sleeping four hours a night and duodecuple texting friends

17-days-ago-me was right however it turns out that's still a lot of other kinds of yearning that she was downplaying to herself

detail from _american ledger no. 1_, also by raven chacon, 2018/2020. unfortunately we all know this sound now :/

my real answer is city girl cafe in cambridge but my fun answer is yusho in hyde park in chicago which wasn’t spectacular but was so cozy and they did have these cute soft-serve desserts and one time my waiter could first not remember and then not pronounce “streusel” and it was adorable

i have cleaned my mirror since i took this i promise

they should invent a girl who is not sick anymore

Thinking about when David Lynch tweeted: "Dear Twitter Friends, I have made friends with a hummingbird"

i love that this happens every time it’s miserably cold it’s so wild

I met this cat in West Oakland; his name is Elia Kazan and he is 11 years old, he belongs to a machinist who builds replica pre-WW1 race cars and he named him that because, and I quote: it would be funny to name a cat after a rat

trying to resist the urge to rewatch merry christmas mr. lawrence because i am sick and need to stay hydrated...

first chickadee of the year what's UP lil guy

is there a mister shapen?
