I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…

Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?

"The pretense of Disney’s “progressive” steps forward with diversity remained something worth questioning as it was sequestered to the Expanded Universe or outright avoided."

"John Boyega was portraying the redshirt of the Star Wars franchise. What was there to get excited about? Even knowing Abrams's pretension for trolling (misdirection), I figured that he would be a disposal character."

Audio Reviews

I planned on doing this regardless, but would anyone who works on video essays, or podcasts be interested in hearing me audio-fy my letterboxd reviews?

I'm trying to get comfortable with speaking into a mic without having an anxiety attack, and I'd love some feedback. I know the confidence thing will probably happen over time.

Thank you for your time!

When you start to hyperfocus on particular trends in mainstream film, it tends to feel like it's everywhere and permeates online discourse. Black-helmed films about Police Brutality and anti-blackness are one such subject.

"The new dark money: How influencers get paid big bucks to court your vote"

"Critics say that the lack of transparency in the hottest new sector of political advertising could be abused by political groups to manipulate public opinion, and that federal election rules have failed to keep pace with the ways social media has transformed campaigning."

Remember that swathe of users on TikTok and Twitter that harassed a non-binary socialist (Madeline Pendelton) because they disclosed influencers were being paid to promote Harris and the Dems, but not telling their user base? Remember how they started calling them antiblack because they told (Dem supporter) Elizabeth Booker Houston that they thought all Democrats were vile for supporting genocide deniers?

This is what drove that harassment campaign and the following campaigns, which decry others (supporting Palestine, or defending the Arab American community for not backing Harris/Walz) as antiblack for not supporting Harris.

My first piece for @superjumpmag covers the 2019 release of @SuperMGames's 'Man of Medan', based on the myth of the SS Ourang Medan, a ghost ship from the early twentieth century.

"However different these movies are, del Toro set the bar high when for fight choreography, visuals, and characterization of either monster or human in Pacific Rim. Godzilla doesn’t scratch that surface."

According to antiwar veteran Greg J. Stoker, the occupation intends to target and kill Al Jazeera's remaining (?) six reporters on the ground in Gaza, Palestine.

Their propaganda offices have cooked up some wild fanfiction about all of them working for the resistance, right down to fictional positions within the group.

I hope the journalist community never knows a day of peace fornwhat they allowed to happen to their contemporaries.

I hope the global and Western journalist community never knows a day of peace for what they've allowed to happen to their contemporaries. Not a single day of peace.

"What happens when the common people show that they're a threat to Western hegemony through anti-capitalist ideas and community building, then allow themselves to compromise?"

A word on the "Great Man" theory versus Action of Persistent Liberation.

In Jonathan and Josh Baker's "KIN", Elijah Solinski’s entire life changes after he discovers an alien weapon on the eve of his brother’s release from prison.

"The consequence of the 1995 film saw the games attempt to retrofit elements of its story into its universe. Liu Kang has been retconned as the “Chosen One”, Raiden has officially become his mentor (friend, surrogate father)."

"The news, as far as I remember, always depicted the issue between Palestine and so-called Israel as a conflict between people of equal footing. Other times, they were perpetual victims under siege. So-called Israel was the scrappy rebel and Palestine was the Evil Empire. The information war wrought during the War on Terror resulted in the whole of the SWANA region (nevermind the Palestinians) being painted as immoral and violent brown folks."

From 2023, my awareness of Palestine from childhood to adulthood. Plus, reflections on the Genocide in Palestine.

10/5/24

Hey, guys, I'm past due on my pet and dental insurance. I need $52.92 (pet insurance) and 152.66 (dental insurance).

Currently in between jobs, but I need money to pay bills and pay for necessities since job security is uncertain. Whatever percentage you're currently seeing as of 6/30/24 (1%) does not count towards this current request since Ko-Fi doesn't reset goal percentages when you create new ones.

"The Massachusetts Bay Colony was home to two Salems. One was an affluent town (modern-day Salem), the other a poor farming village (now named Danvers) home to approximately five hundred people."

One of the first reviews I wrote for Superjump Magazine.
