36. Chicago. Sociology Master’s Student interested in how Nerd Culture and also Queer Culture works, but also their intersection. Also other stuff. Not angry enough to be a socialist, too 🫳🏾 to be a liberal. Gender is a scam.

Not my hometown, but I’ll Rep other parts of Illinois too: more people should know about the Horseshoe.

Okay I LABORED over this; here’s a song for each year and an alternate. I’m sure if you asked me again after I woke up from sleeping tonight I’d come up with a list of 20 different songs.

I’ll keep it real yall: the last bit of this article strikes me as him skating past accountability and just wanting to be forgiven.

His candidacy should be cooked.

OkCupid! We bonded over a shared admiration of Tom Colicchio, which led to 5 dates on 2 weeks.

Can I say something about Gene Kelly?

For those of you not super familiar with my part of the far north side, this is the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning estimate of how many non-English speakers there are in my neighborhood relative to the city and Chicagoland as a whole. So only communicating a danger in English ain’t it.

Im a tarot girly. But also my whole spiritual practice is in shambles and I haven’t pulled cards in quite some time.

#8: Scare Me (2020). Another Josh Rubin joint. He’s really good at this horror thing; hope we keep getting this type of stuff from him in addition to the comedy work.

Respectfully delivering

#7: A Wounded Fawn (2022). The link here is Anna Lind, who had a minor part in the last joint and is the center piece of this one.

#6: Jakob’s Wife (2021). More Larry Fessenden! This one I haven’t seen yet, so hopefully it’s good.
September 6, 2025 at 2:53 AM
#5: Still going with the Lauren Ashley Carter/Larry Fessenden team up films. This time, it’s Pod (2015).
September 6, 2025 at 1:42 AM
#4: the other Lauren Ashley Carter/Larry Fessenden/Sean Young movie, Darling (2015).
September 3, 2025 at 3:47 AM
#3: Another joint with Sean Young, Jug Face (2013)! I remember really liking this back when it came out and I was watching a lot of contemporary indie horror.
September 3, 2025 at 2:21 AM
#2: Went for a deep cut Skeet Ulrich connection, in Escape Room (2017). This movie is stupid with 2 “O”s. But I think it’s gonna set something really fun up so whatever.

Started with an old favorite: The Craft (1996)!
