it was a stroke of genius to give James T Kirk a bitchy flip phone in the 60's, truly amazing to watch him slam it shut like a pissed off socialite girl in 2000's teen shows

saw timestalker weeks and weeks ago but still the most baffling thing about that movie of missed opportunity is she kept cycling through time with two beautiful people, one always her close best friend who was in love with her and the other a mysterious and morally ambiguous stranger who kept feeling oddly fond of her, but she kept picking a loser guy instead. whats wrong with you girl.

Asteroid city is inaccessible and unintelligible and vague and wandering and a series of vignettes spliced together to give the suggestion of a larger story that’s not actually complete with incomprehensible characters grappling with grief and isolation accompanied by a strange use of stop motion to YOU. I get it though

call me old-fashioned but I think visitors to historical sites have the right to a fully analogue experience of the building if they want it

tech is great for accessibility, and to provide supplemental info for self-guided places. I don't mean an experience without seeing OTHER PEOPLE use their phones, a kiosk, an iPad, etc. that would be unfair to people who needed the accessibility features. just that those things should be opt-in

screens at low angles on stands so they're only visible if you actively walk up to them. iPads, as previously mentioned. audio tours accessible on your phone, but with a request to please only use them with earbuds/headphones. real human staff one can talk to.

NOT screens positioned upright on walls, timed light/sound shows that fill the whole space, etc.

I'm there to see a historical building I can't see anywhere else, in real physical space. not to look at a screen or a projection unless I make that choice, to answer a specific question or similar. and I should be able to have that experience of the site if I want to

penguin snoopy has stayed on my mind ever since that first doodle, so consider: 2023 winter classic pens snoopy…

i wanted it to look more like a legit comic strip illustration this time, so i did the lineart traditionally with a fineliner pen, then tried to mostly limit myself to layering actual risograph print colours in CSP!

specific parameters:

when exactly your teenage self gets this information is up to you, so long as they're your teenage self at the time.

your teenage self will learn the message and that it comes from you, their future self.

if it's something objectively true/false, they'll know it's true; if it's more subjective, they'll know you believe it's true based on your knowledge of the future; if it's advice, they'll know it's given in good faith based on your future life.

you need to decide NOW. no looking things up beforehand. (no sharing the winning lottery numbers unless you happen to have some memorized!)

you can combine things if they're really just parts of one big statement. so "You're genderfluid and your name is Adrian" is fine, but "move to California and invest in Facebook" isn't.

if your statement fits multiple categories, pick the one you think is the best overall fit.
