season 3 of the Pitt divorce arc for Langdon or bust

started nothing bad is going to happen and was already very 🤨 but then the second the baby showed up? bye!! fuck this!

in a whopper sleep regression this week, making normal functioning much, much harder. mad to think much of the child rearing workforce is just out here on two hours sleep

Sarah Maria Griffin, acclaimed author of Eat the Ones You Love, returns with STRANGE IS THE LIGHT! 🎲 A childhood game of wild imagination takes a frightening turn in this dark, strange, moving tale of intense friendship, tangled secrets and betrayal… Coming 8th September! 👁️ @griffski.bsky.social

welcome home, sailors

the pitt has in the last week given me absolute brain worms. walking around doing dana voice. baby jane doe etc

girlies i’m on RTE radio one this morning around half ten talking about cozy games! as always i am coming out swinging for the girls and the sims, for rejection of violence as a necessity in puzzle solving, for a soft life in stardew valley

will a class ever go by where i do not cry while reading a poem aloud? no

just hit credits on pokopia. idk how this game manages to contain so much pathos. it’s weirdly moving, designed to speak to millennial anxieties around the planet, as well as our nostalgia. i’m shocked by how emotional it is.

just did a phoner ahead of another radio spot about video games. i am so glad i get to do these pieces of work, to talk on the air about games. i genuinely love the medium and i wish, wish there was space stronger cultural criticism (and celebration!) around the medium in the papers here

asked my students to watch Don’t Eat The Pictures (a Sesame Street special in the metropolitan museum of art) and a particularly weird episode of The Jim Henson Hour ahead of tomorrow’s class so i can talk about Henson’s auteurship across genres and also, curation in the form of variety television!!

you: irish goodbye me: taking the rat taxi 😎

big i miss my dead cat day today guys

anyone know of a cure for ~doing too much in reality but feeling like you’re not doing enough~ disease because if i have even ten minutes where i’m not stressed out of my eyeballs between self employment and baby raising i start looking at PHDs

euro country just came on the radio in the taxi and now i’m CRYING thanks ciara

Types of Pokemon in Pokopia: 1. I am Big and from the South 2. Yo yo Mr. White what's good yo 3. Oh dear, sweetie? Honey? Precious? 4. haha heeeyyyyy what's up maaan 5. I d o n o t u n d e r s t a n d y e t s t i l l I p e r s i s t

BYE FUCKERS

fucking bawling over Jessie Buckley lads

mentally i’m in a place where i’m trying to catagorize where all the monsters live on Sesame Street. seems like some live in the building 123 Sesame Street, some live in The Monster’s Arms, but i’m trying to geolocate the gothic palace that Count lives in

territorial dispute

too many people out here speculating about who’s gonna play Sam in the T3 movie. i am personally foaming at the mouth for who is going to play the tamer of horses, Marx

my mother pushed the cool baby around today in the buggy she bought for visits to her house. when the visor was down, she pointed to this little blue bird and said ‘this is my favourite part’ and in that instant i felt more like we were made of the same star stuff than i ever had in my entire life

POMERANIAN POKÉMON LETS GO

did will navidson teach you people nothing

some personal news lads 🥰✨

get weirder 🫵

friends. what are we batch cooking these days? please help i am so sick of myself i need sturdy freezable ideas because i have 0 hours every week to cook and need to nourish myself

about to go and chair a panel on video games and cinema for DIFF. further proof that if you just keep doing your highly specific interest very keenly, eventually you will become a person who is allowed to talk in public on the subject

about to crawl out of my January/February vortex with a pretty insane ‘some personal news’ next week lads xx

taught the psychogeography of super Mario world for the snes via the poetry of Stephen sexton by pulling up screens of the game and demonstrating the textual references just in case you’re wondering if i’m working my dream job

i handed in a frankly staggering piece of work over a five day deadline last night, and am back in full ma mode today. of course the weather is rancid. what do you do with a just about toddler in weather like this! we’re just gonna have to wrap up and go out aren’t we

in one of the storm episodes of Sesame Street, big bird is so upset by the destruction of his nest that he just keeps softly repeating ‘my nest, my home’ and it is absolutely devastating? my nest, my home 😭

in therapy i had a funny little breakthrough this morning. turns out i’m strangely more capable of working, parenting, cooking etc without feeling like i’m an alien from another planet who the atmosphere of earth is slowly poisoning to death as long as i’ve had eight hours sleep three days in a row

how to get to heaven from belfast is an absolute delight so far. jesus, lisa mcgee is some firebrand for dialogue. we’re dying now are we?

i am on deadline today in my office instead of valentining around with my man and cool baby and have just become fucking freezing cold and can’t focus! due to being fucken cold!!! i am such a house animal man i need me blankets

i would pay to have every photo of me erased and comfortably slip into a posting pattern not unlike that of dril

my name is benny. benny boat shoes and i am here to dance

We are delighted to announce that Titan Books will be publishing STRANGE IS THE LIGHT by @griffski.bsky.social, an intensely moving story about a fractured group of friends whose childhood game takes a dangerous turn… Coming September 2026! ✨

you know the video with the dog where the dog’s people are hyping her up like, ~she’s so brave, she’s well behaved, she is not afraid~ well i’m singing that to myself during this very tight deadline because i am Not Afraid! it’s just words!!!!! we have lots of them!!! i can read them and write them!

the WAY i’m going to teach borges to these masters students!!!!!!!! multiverses honey? oh you think you know about multiverses? let me tell you about a little something called the GARDEN OF FORKING PATHS

just want to mark that after a sleepless week the baby did in fact sleep until seven this morning. when we realized what time it was i said to ceri, it’s christmas morning

managed to make myself cry AGAIN today from reading poems during class prep. very glad that despite my high stress state that i can still be moved by both puppets and good writing
