it’s hot, it’s primary day, BUT perhaps most importantly, it’s E•MO•TION’s 10th anniversary. if you have five minutes, please read one of my favorite essays ever on one of my favorite albums ever, and remember to love a little more freely, openly, and fully today 💜 web.archive.org/web/20240216...

have not stopped thinking about @emilystjams.bsky.social’s “Woodworking” since I finished last night. a vital read for everyone, and a revelation for my own transness and humanity.

i beg of everyone — trans, gnc, queer, or an ally with/without people you love with those identities — read it now.

this is, unironically, one of the best rock concerts I’ve ever been to.

some of my favorites and my oddly upsetting collection of recent watches (except for Ocean’s 13, that movie is a blast)

if anyone wants to give me a holiday gift, please pitch me for the fourth issue of Dangerous to Go Alone. Please fill my holidays and the start of the new year with wonderful ideas about video games 💜

Issue 3 will finally be going live in the very near future, but in the meantime, please share around and help support very independent gaming criticism. And also write for us. We can pay! Let me edit you while you write about cool and weird games 🤠

it's been a cold minute, but our pitch call for Issue 4 of DTGA, Bundled Up, is officially live! Pitches will be accepted until December 27 and an email will be sent out to everyone who submits on January 1, regardless if the pitch is accepted or not.

And also ties to beautifully to the depersonalization of gender dysphoria.

Evan taps connects a lot of the depersonalization within KRZ to the passivity of theater.

my letterboxd top four hasn’t been updated in a bit so… just know a good twenty other movies could be here but i’m too lazy.
