Pep talk for me and anyone else who needs to hear this or something similar:
It is both true and ok to say that the end of March came off the rails and that April got away from me. I can accept this and pick up where I left off.

So I finished reading KoD. I uhhhh maybe binged the last 60 chapters + extras in one day. I’m fine this is fine.

On the off-chance that anyone following me here is in NYC and has no plans tomorrow (sunday), I have a spare ticket to SUNDAY ON FIRE at the Prospect Park Nitehawk.
Pros: mystery Hong Kong movie which promises to be an absolute banger; you get to hang out with me
Cons: very last-minute???

Re-upping this; where's the best place for hosting photos these days?
Finally starting to really sort through my photos from my trip last fall. I want to share (some of) them but don't really want to mirror here and fb. Is it time to get a second tumblr or is there somewhere else I should host photos

The best thing about this thread is that they are all different flavors and yet inarguably all variations on this theme. See also: “unfortunately this one.”
you know what's great about this is it works for blorbos too. every ML is doomed by the narrative from the instant he mutters under his breath "oh god who's THIS dumbass"
“Who’s this dumbass”

So I realized this morning that I need the universe to provide me with Seal and Alanis Morisette duetting “Crazy”. Or at least a mix of his original and her cover or something. Please universe? 🙏

Fun fact: Y’know how if you have expertise in an area, it’s hard to watch people do the fictional version on TV? I say to you as a recovering psych academic, Zhan Yao is SO RIDICULOUS that it blasts riiiight through that resistance.

since i yelled about bai yutong i should also go off on his bestie/husband, zhan yao: consulting genius, criminal psychology phd, and such a supercilious queen it made ji xiaobing the only logical choice to play grown-up xiao hua. can't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. always tired. #scimystery

Everything about him is ridiculous and I love him so much! 😍
you know who's ridiculous yet compelling is bai yutong. former fighter pilot. national sanda champion. captain of…whatever SCI is? ersatz roomie of dr. zhan yao, takes particular delight in being a thorn in his side yet will cross 12 lanes of traffic to destroy anyone who fucks with him #scimystery

I love this disaster raccoon so much…he contains multitudes…at least one of those multitudes is leering and making a suggestive comment about how many multitudes he can contain while another is having a heartbreaking micro expression about identities and immortality. #dmbj #heixiazi
if you think about it for even a second, hei xiazi is truly one of the weirdest characters ever. one third ip man, one third museum exhibit, one third tragic figure and 100% 🤡 #dmbj

Today, on TRC Day, I woke up and wished I could call my grandpa
He'd shake his head, pay my knee and say "don't feel sad for me, I did okay"
But that was never the point
