My TWIN PEAKS coverage continues with Season 3, Episode 14. I dove into how Lynch uses dreams playfully to work within genre filmmaking. This is an episode almost entirely indebted to dream sequences, be they of the Monica Bellucci type, or messages from the Fireman

#PaWriCo 's bookish Bootcamp is going well! The hardest things so far have been leaving my house and daily calisthenics. Adjusted the last one to deal with my weird joint issues. But writing and reading are going good. Finished Episode 13 which was amazing.

Day 4 of challenge. It's going well? Realizing I might have more joint issues than I realized so adjusting movement goals. But almost done reading Episode 13 and it's so good! #PaWriCo #reading #writing #horrorwriters

Get Back is a fun eight hour documentary in which you get to see the most acclaimed band of all time struggle with burnout and writer’s block, and also for some reason every thirty minutes Michael Lindsay-Hogg shows up on camera to suggest throwing a concert in the deserts of Egypt

There are so so many decent to amazing short stories, novellas, and novels out there right now. So much music. So much art. All made by curious, interesting individuals. We don't need more created by AI.

The idea that pro-trans movements led to anti-trans sentiment is egregiously out of touch with reality. Increased LGBTQ representation led to historic shifts in public opinion toward the community. The aggressively bigoted and violent campaigns that lied about trans people are clearly responsible

Listen. The only way you can become a good writer is by being a shitty writer and doing it anyways. You can’t magically become a good writer by having a machine do some of the work for you. That just makes you a fraud.

Ever since NanoWriMo imploded, I have been looking for alternate writing challenges. The Pathfinders Writing Collective discord has been a lot of fun. (They are also on insta I think?) The next six weeks are a Bookish habits challenge.

pride is next week
pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan.
do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.

We're living through the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore, while the government stomps its uncaring boot on our necks. But there's an easy way to fight back: Care.

Seen this painting many times over nearly 30 yrs. I remember the first; I actually felt gears shift in my body. I’m never less than shocked by it.

Pollock, Echo: Number 25, 1951. This is for the people who think their kids could paint his stuff. In the midst of his most radical drip work he does this - I think the title is evocative - to me it recalls Edwardian wallpaper. The control & balance are obvious, almost an x-ray of the famous stuff
