This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:00 to head to the West End Bridge in hopes of capturing the moon over PPG Place and the Christmas tree at the Point in #Pittsburgh. Luckily the clouds stayed away for long enough to allow that to happen. Made for an amazing view.

Finally caught up with THE SUBSTANCE. Everyone told me it was mind bending body horror, but no in told me it was this decade’s SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. Biting, bitter satire built on a series of sad, core truths about our society. A freakishly good horror nightmare. It’s on MUBI and for rental in VOD.

Late to the #Maid party but wow that was raw and close to several aching bones. Ms Qualley is phenomenal in everything I’ve seen her in.

I bought the Magpie’s Lenormand for an ex friend. Since I now own it I started messing with it. It’s really growing on me.

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Interacting with women only/WOC helmed creation lately, has opened up a world where a fog lifted. One where the main narrative is clear, coherent & relevant rather than the heterogeneous yt male lens that was so formative to me.
