if you want a brief summation of how the last few months have been for me personally, i just had a panic attack because too many good things are happening
like yeah, i've signed the lease, i have the keys, we're moving in tomorrow... but there's gotta be a catch here somewhere. good things are just bait. they're rakes on the lawn. why should i bother having any kind of hope when there's no evidence that anything can get better?
one of the most radicalizing things about this experience is that while it's been the single most direly stressful circumstance i have ever found myself in, i've also had it relatively easy compared to millions of others in our position. the injustice of it all is incomparable
knowing that we would have been substantially more fucked if i didn't have this arbitrary store of clout to flash donation links on, knowing that so many people simply have no recourse in this situation and that the state doesn't care how many of us die in the fucking street
guys i think i might have some trauma about this

i'm one of those motherfuckers who was a fan of rebecca sugar back when she was just doing ed edd n eddy nsfw art on tumblr. we need this energy back in our lives
if you give me a "compliment sandwich" i'm going to punch you directly in the mouth
i know i'm perilously close to the realm of "participation trophies made a generation of snowflakes" here but holy shit dude it's astonishing to me that such a thing as a "compliment sandwich" ever needed to exist. just tell what's not working so i can fucking fix it dude, yeesh
like i can't imagine the kind of cushy insulated baby-tier environment you came up in creatively that you need to hear twice as many compliments as criticisms in order to not have a fucking meltdown. use what's useful and let the rest die mad!
alan parsons project is like a slightly dumber, more conventional pink floyd. just really straight-forward 8/10 gimmicky concept albums. "has a great mix" isn't something i find myself saying very often but GOD these tracks are mixed so well
spent most of this summer listening to car seat headrest, so i'm compensating by getting way the fuck back into 70's & 80's prog rock. why did i wait until 32 to listen to this era of king crimson? yeah it's no starless but sometimes you just want to vibe
i am a fan of villeneuve and i have been holding out hope for dune from the beginning yet somehow i am still SHOCKED by how good villeneuve's dune actually is
dune is not an action movie, it's cosmic horror. the plot is basically, what if everyone realized that paul atreides is stuck in the hero's journey and that it spells the end of civilization as they know it and there's literally nothing they can do but watch it unfurl
what's really shocking to me is unlike blade runner 2049, which mostly just feels like a straight up and down sequel to blade runner, dune is very directly drawing attention to its real world parallels. this film has a proper sociological perspective. it's like a REAL movie
no, you misunderstand. i don't "dislike" disney. i'm not "not a fan." i genuinely believe that disney, its subsidiaries, and all their products are a catastrophic empire-focused parasitic evil exceeded only by the us military & the cia in its detrimental effect on human culture.
if i seem unhinged when i call disney "the great satan of our time" it's only because i literally believe that disney is the great satan of our time
"come on it's not that bad" there are explicitly homophobic films from the 20th century that are better representation than *anything* disney has produced in the last twenty years
everyone who followed me from my nft posts is now obligated to read all 386,936 words of my ongoing homestuck fanfic series godfeels. i invented an entire metaphysics of intellectual reality for it. there's gender. it is better for you than every nft post. archiveofourown.org/series/1475819
eventually there's a naval battle between a galleon and a giant octopus conveyed entirely from the perspective of a character who is bleeding to death and pinned to the deck with a big lance. this coneys nothing substantial about godfeels i just think this scene is funny
i actually did a video on godfeels back when it was just a story about a girl with gender. it's pretty good imo and i'm probably gonna do a sequel to it in the nearish future since i did in fact learn a few more things writing 150,000 words in three months
