The Brave Little Toaster. For better or worse, watching this movie repeatedly as a very young child was foundational for how I think about the world and my place in it.
Picture of a television showing a scene from The Brave Little Toaster. Miscellaneous appliances are carried into the air while singing an ominous song about being torn apart for spare parts by an amoral repair man. Picture of a television showing a still from The Brave Little Toaster, featuring a depressed flower (drooping yellow petals, drooping grey-green leaves). Picture of a television showing a scene from The Brave Little Toaster. An evil clown is dressed up as a fireman wearing a raincoat. In his left hand he holds a hose and in his right hand he holds a fork. Picture of a television showing a scene from The Brave Little Toaster. Toaster is contemplating its mortality and the reality of sacrificing itself to save the human man that it loves. The toaster is standing with its eyes wide and mouth open as the gears of the trash compactor are reflected in its chrome face.

Society never should have abandoned the DVD menu
Photograph of a flat screen television. The flat screen television shows the DVD menu screen for the movie "Revolutionary Girl Utena the Movie." The menu shoes 6 options (Languages, Play Movie, Pick a Scene, Special features, DVD ROM, Sneak Peaks) as white text on red roses. the background is a starry sky over a pool of water showing a a reflection of the stars. More roses are layered along the bottom of the scene. A very low resolution animation of Utena and Anthy dancing plays in the bottom right corner.

Time to learn about what books are🕵️‍♀️
Photo of a book titled “The Book” by Amaranth Borsuk, published by MIT Press. The cover is black with the tittle in the upper right, and drawing of the book cover in the lower left, nested infinitely.

Editing might be my favorite part of writing, tbh

In 2024, I finally made some meaningful progress in studying the humanities. I studied forty non-fiction books this year, a significant step up from the previous year, where I finished two.
A collection of 40 books on a shelf. The books cover a variety of topics in “the humanities,” including writing, philosophy, and anthropology.

I am once again trying to write a novel. Will I complete a draft that I want to share? Unclear...

But! My last attempt (in 2018 🙀) resulted in fewer characters written than my current attempt has words, so that's something like progress.
Screenshot of a spreadsheet showing how many words Lillian has written the month of march. It shows daily writing totals for twenty three days, averaging 729.78 words per day. She came into the month having written 11,223 words and wrote another 16,785 words. Bringing the total to 28,8008 words.
