environmental storytelling
a picture of a new book i bought, “mostly french: french (in) detective fiction” by alistair rolls. the cover is white with some purple figures on the left side. a brief description of the aforementioned book on the back. it is too far away to be read properly. the back cover again, except a black cat is starting to block the camera. she wanted attention. the black cat is fully in view and i’m petting her. she got what she wanted.

you’ve inherited a movie theatre, what’s your first double feature?

“the end of evangelion” (1997) and “fantastic planet” (1973)
a scene from the “end of evangelion” that shows a massive rei conducting the third impact. a scene from “fantastic planet” where tiwa is holding her pet human, terr, in her hand.

also i’ve noticed across social media in general that pictures of me get more interaction than anything else that’s worth value like my writing or my structural critiques or my personal projects so uh. interaction interaction interaction family guy subway surfers split screen!!! look at this woww!!!
a mirror selfie of myself. my brown hair is in a messy bun. i’m wearing heavy eyeliner and dark purple lipstick with a pair of new sunglasses (which have red lenses and a thick black frame with spikes). i’m wearing a nose ring with a red cornicello dangling from it, a silver ankh necklace, a brown tank top, a black leather jacket, and cross earrings. a substack post of mine. it reads: “music likely predates language. structured poetry came before prose. percussion is among the oldest forms of musical instrument. there is a rhythm and a sort of musicality to life, one that mimics footsteps, birdsongs, and even the contraction and relaxation of muscles. music and poetry are biological and that is why AI can never replace them. ever. we must stop it before it robs us of what makes us human, of what makes beautiful things beautiful things.”

god damnit i hate this app
a substack post of mine. it reads: “we understand ourselves by means of the other. if our digital spaces are all that we have for meaningful connection, it means that our senses of self will crumble. the human brain was not built to handle this much constant abstraction of relationships and i cannot say this enough and i will scream it at the top of my lungs until someone listens.” the post has 0 likes, comments, or any sort of interaction whatsoever. a gross TERFy post that i don’t even want to repeat for both of our sakes. it has 168 likes, 16 comments, and 11 reposts.

finally figuring out how to use my new phone to take pictures of the stars
the night sky above my childhood home. the left side of the picture is black and containing lots of clear stars, while the upper right hand corner has rusty pinkish clouds. in the bottom right hand corner, it looks like you can see a faint silhouette of the mountains. the night sky above my childhood home. the right side of the image is black with the outlines of pine trees, but the rest of the sky is a deep teal with many clear stars. in the upper right hand corner, a small, fluffy, rusty pink cloud can be seen.

hi what
a post taken from trump’s account on truth social. it reads: “all federal funding will stop for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. american students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! thank you for your attention to this matter."
