With people talking about Nolan, my view is he is an excellent director/filmmaker but his screenplays are more mixed. The more Nolan-y he gets, the more overwrought they become.
On another note, wasn't this film shot partly in some occupied territory in Western Sahara or something? #film #odyssey

Trans rights are human rights.
Holding space so everyone can live their truth seems even more important than usual these days.
We made these pieces as holiday gifts for family — and a few more for anyone who’d like to pass that care along.

Without good sleep you cannot recover, and nightmares stand in the way of good sleep. Good thing for the Baku, the Eater of Dreams: this anteater-looking oddity of Japanese folklore devours bad dreams and the spirits that produce them. #FolkyFriday

As a suicidal person, I cannot express how absolutely vile it is. I can understand why people would ask ChatGPT because when you're desperate you're going to something you're comfortable with and this is it for certain people. But this is going to kill them (and it already did). Very disgusting.
There are no words for how evil this is

Indie author transparency post! ✨
October wasn't a good month considering I had my 3 spooky books on sale. 4 sales was all I could pull in,
BUT
I did have a sale for a bookplate on Ko-Fi!
And according to my multi-complex excel sheet, I've earned in $200 in 2025 and 12.4% of my total expenses!
