blah blah blah something about me realising that a lot of actors of colour only do comedy films/tv shows??? like if this is their choice and what they want to do, great! but is it just me or is there a lack of like drama or other 'serious' genres ft. actors of colour?

tequila. i've only ever done shots but to date, i think about the smell and want to throw up!

On its 4th anniv, I'm reposting for bsky my most popular Twitter thread: a defense of the "inactive protagonist," which birthed the essay below, in exactly the way it was written.

absolutely refuse to eat dhal which makes me a total pariah as both south asian and a vegetarian 😂
What’s a food that you are absolutely in the minority about disliking. I think my worst one is probably summer rolls. Oh and olives. Unless they’re blue cheese stuffed and in a dirty martini.

cataloguing my fave reads of 2024 to snip off the end of the year!
stats include:
— 90 books read in total (7 were beta reads)
— horror and fantasy dominated, but shouldn't have expected anything different considering ✨ me ✨
here's to an even creepier, more horrific (in reading habits, of) 2025!

I think we're going to see a HUGE proliferation of #horror over the next four years. We will need the catharsis, and of all sorts: splatterpunk, weird, cosmic/eldritch, folk/cult, Gothic, and bubblegum, to name a few. Horror contains multitudes. Horror can heal. Horror lets us know we aren't alone.
