Thanks to @miranda61 for sharing the link to the interview in the comments. What a lovely interview!

I love how they exclusively talked to him about the non-fictional characters he portrayed, and yet still showed a picture of Aziraphale in the loop of characters photos on the screen (the only fictional character in the loop)! 🤣

Funny how the other interviewer who popped onto the set kept trying to steer the conversation towards David Tennant but Michael didn’t really participate in that dialogue. Also interesting how they asked him about his next big upcoming project and he mentions Nye instead of Good Omens. I know he said something to a fan at the con he was at on the weekend, but I wonder if he’s being steered away from speaking about Good Omens publicly for the moment? (I’m assuming that’s coming from his management or from Prime video specifically preventing him from talking about GO for the moment because of…*gestures vaguely at everything*)

Here's a map of the original names of Palestinian cities before its colonization.

Why does it matter to know this? Because changing the names as part of colonialism is not new in history.

Learning about the history of colonialism and imperialism is important. When we say educate yourself on these matters, it's because you need to learn to recognize patterns and prevent them from reoccurring.

The idea of the West being civilized is all a sham. The idea of Arabs being terrorists is a mere lie similar to the endless lies that have been told about Native Americans and many other indigenous groups.

If you're going to use the word 'terrorist', it's about time you use it on the real enemy.

Free Palestine.

I’m not breaking any new ground here, but it’s obvious that the peak of novelty New Year’s Eve numerical eyewear was 2000-2009

10/10 for legibility, visibility, and typography

for years now, this industry has been stubbornly clinging to an idea that has become too cumbersome. if you will indulge me, I will now rate 2023’s new designs:

5/10 best I can say is “it gets the job done.” it does clearly read as 2023, but the typography is bad & the visibility leaves much to be desired.

2/10 happy 20?3, i guess. they started with a decent font, but these are illegible and everything about the eyehole placement sucks.

6/10 hear me out: this is an okay compromise. it’s a cop out, sure, but it’s a viable alternative. it satisfies the basic requirements of legibility, visibility, and typographical acceptability, yet it lacks all whimsy. this feels like when you don’t do a project the way the teacher intended but you pass anyway on a technicality. this isn’t school, though, so i’m failing this design.

1/10 come on, guys. if you’re going to use the top of the 2 as an eyehole, at least use a font with a more open design, perhaps something art deco. at least when you look in the mirror with those LEDs directly in your line of sight, you won’t notice how bad the glasses look.

7/10 now we’re getting somewhere. like the first design, it uses the 3 as the second eyehole but it does so without compromising the shape of the number. unfortunately, the lack of outlines does negatively affect legibility and there may be some visibility issues for the left eye.

9/10 this is as good as it’s gonna get, folks. an actual graphic designer was clearly involved here. the typography is appealing, the color works, visibility looks good. nicely done.

SYDNEY’S NEW YEAR EVE FIREWORKS 2023/24

[keplercryptids]

resolutions for 2024

assume the best of the ones you love. their arms are open, not empty.

it is not the end of the world yet. dabble in hope.

demand reciprocity, without apology. build community as an act of celebration.

marvel at the small & mundane.

your body's limitations are gifts, not punishments. honor them.

intimacy is a light you must always seek out, even when the darkness feels safer.

the best antidote is to learn something new. find the sacred in discovering you were wrong.

create & create & create & create.

defend/fight for/embrace/grapple with/embody/trust gender nonconformity.

love infinitely. rest often.

another year is ending and I want you to know that it is okay if you:

have not healed from the things that happened/did not happen from six months ago. just because the year is ending it does not mean your grief is too.

don't have any "fun" NYE plans to ring in the new year. this life is yours to live across days and months and years, and you can celebrate days other than the ones heavily marketed and shoved down your throat to shroud you in severe FOMO.

have no resolutions or goals for 2024 laid out in elaborate lists or shared on social media or with your friends. you are braving through this life trying to do your best every day and hold the fort and so of course you know, deep down you know what is needed from you for you going forward and of course you are going to work in that direction. good luck love.

have not become a "better" version of yourself by any of the tangible or conventional measures. that kind of bettering is mostly to serve others, not yourself.

are not happy with yourself/your life as it is now. you're a work-in-progress, remember? and if you're progressing in a direction you do not like, then it's time to change the blueprints and the strategy.

take time off social media around this time to protect your mental health and whatever little joy you have managed to keep.

don't want to spend too much time reflecting on how this past year went and doing various forms of 2023-wrapped. again, it's your life. you can also revisit this year in memories and pictures and feelings whenever you'd like. it's not like you don't still visit 2012, 2017, and 2022, right?

feel disconnected from your friends, family, lover. I know this is "ideally" a time to be celebrated with your loved ones. but life is not ideal, is it? it's just life. and if right now you are not feeling the love, the joy, or just don't have the headspace or social energy to engage , that's alright.

are finding comfort in simpler things like a TV show from the 90s or that book you first read at sixteen or that slice of strawberry cake or a random post like this you come across.

don't feel hopeful, encouraged, or excited for 2024. given everything that's happened in the last couple of years, on the macro and micro level, it's only natural for you to feel weary as well as wary. when the good things happen, when the healing happens, when things begin working in your favour over time, you will automatically feel all those things. it's okay if until then you choose to be neutral.

You can tell it’s going SO well because he’s glowing more at stage door each day

gay people can never just have sex, instead they stand transfixed, a voyeur, feasting while their best friend is wanking in the bathtub, then ends up tongue fucking and guzzling down his cum from the tub as it drains. They sob, strip naked and fuck the fresh grave of said homoerotic friend, after poisoning him to death when he doesn't reciprocate their feelings.

Went to London to see Nye and to meet my favourite Welshman.

Told him I was a bit anxious to talk to him because I had a dream about meeting him a few days before, in which it all went horribly wrong. Because in that dream, when I asked him if he could sign my Good Omens book, he got angry, said 'I don't do that' and walked away.

The real Michael Sheen was quite amused by this and promised me not to do anything of that sort. And he didn't!

I am very happy to report that Michael Sheen really does sign Good Omens books and will not walk away if you ask him!
