I have many normal thoughts and feelings and parasocial friendships with ghosts. 5'11" Lestat truther. The most terrifying kind of preternatural monster: a person who liked Blood Canticle. (she/her)
Once a decade he goes into a tailor shop and asks for the most contemporary thing a man would wear, and then they overcharge him insanely for it.

Daniel must be choosing his own clothes for the club though I think- the matching suits at Trinity Gate? That's definitely Marius.

That was me and Sleepy Hollow! Very strange but weirdly convenient (if you are a sulky teen who hates going places and being made to do things) to have a whole movie on hand in your brain to watch!

9. If you're looking at a workbook someone else made and there is a pivot table in it with no source data, you can edit the pivot table to list any value, double click the value on the pivot table, and it will show you the detail (Aka, source data) for that value field

8. Numbers stored as text? Data > Text to Columns > Immediately select finish. Numbers you want to be text? Change column format to text, Text to Columns > check no delimators > Column data format "Text" > finish. Also great to fix wonky dates.

7. If you use the same lookup tables over and over, you can straight up store those lookup tables in your macrobook, which is a hidden workbook named PERSONAL that opens every time you open excel. Make a macro that pulls in a lookup from it with (relative references) = life easier!

6. =clean(trim(any text that you copied from somewhere else that isn't working right because of extra spaces or most hidden characters)) will fix stuff not being pulled into lookups. There are a handful of hidden characters for page breaks this doesn't work for, use =substitute() and look those up

5. If something is saved as a table on a web page (in other words, you can highlight the text in it) you can just copy paste that straight into excel and it will maintain formatting. I've seen people not know this!

4. Highlight cell + double click lower right corner will drop down either values or formulas to the end of your used range of rows. If you want fill instead of copy or vice versa from the one it did automatically, there is a blue and white floating icon at the bottom after you do this to change that

2. To combine multiple worksheets stored in different workbooks, put them in one folder, Data > Get Data > From File > From Folder

3. If you sort your rows so the ones you're trying to delete are all next to each other before you filter the range, your program won't crash when you delete them

I love you fanon Daniel Molloy with your dialect mistake overalls and your canonical shoes on the beach.

And then you should go listen to the Pacific Rim soundtrack. It's not related to any of this, I mean you can kind of guess how it's slightly related to it all of this, but people don't listen to the Pacific Rim soundtrack enough! It's great, and so is this magnesium drink I took to help me sleep oee

Anyway, I'm going to recommend the movie Poor Things, for the reason that it is good. Poor Things is a good movie. I was very surprised that so many of the lead creatives were men, because I assumed they were women! Not because the movie was good, other reasons related to the storytelling.

Stop it with the weird moralising auteur nonsense from both directions, actually! Weird filmmaker identity politics from everybody. Marginalized people should be allowed to make more mediocre films without you having to pretend that they're good! Privileged people make mediocre all the time.

Auteur is the most juvenile school of film theory and I hate that the internet found out about it and I want to scream all the time. Just watch movies! Form opinions about their quality based on the artistic work presented to you! Jesus Christ!

Sometimes you just watch a movie about the themes that the filmmaker intended it to be about, and you see the filmmaker's intent, and you don't care about the original work that much, and you respect the filmmaker as an artist, and you still walk out of the movie and are like: "eh."
November 13, 2025 at 4:35 AM
Did you know that an adaptation is not required to adhere to the same themes and purpose as the original work? Did you know that adaptations are works with their own artistic goals and merit? And therefore can also be subjectively liked or disliked regardless of the nature of their adaptation?

Surely it will look more professional tomorrow to have bright red skin around my fingernails and a texture on them that looks like they have been attacked by termites rather than for them to have one chip in the color that was on them like they did earlier! This is why I don't paint my nails.

The book it's based on is also incredible!
November 12, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Oh it's SO FUCKING GOOD
