There's this bullet journal YouTuber who I watch on and off (mostly off because she favours the heavily aesthetic style of bullet journaling that intimidates me) but she mentioned off-hand in a video that she includes stuff about any media she's read/watched/listened to/etc. in her reading journal, and I think that's so refreshing. To just flat out be writing little reviews of movies and TV shows and video games in your reading journal in the current reading culture war we're in where people are getting pillioried on social media for not reading enough, or only reading fic, or only reading YA, or only reading "trashy" books, or [insert thing to be snobby about here], is such a great reframing.

I don't think books are "only" entertainment, but I don't think movies and TV shows are either, and also there is nothing wrong with just reading for fun instead of for your intellectual or moral edification. Hell yeah, let's value all types of media enough to write notes to ourselves about what we thought about them!

Most important thing to keep in mind today:

Focus on the things you can control, your friends, your loved ones, the community around you. Take care of yourselves, reach out for help if you need it. Be there for each other, and take care of each other.

We get through this together. We endure together.

As a Bob Dylan fan, what are your thoughts on "A Simple Desultory Philippic" by Simon and Garfunkel? (I love it. 😂)

it's honestly one of my favourite tracks from that album because every bob dylan fan knows bob dylan is better off with a song or 2 like that one *looks at bowie's a song for bob dylan* and i can say manyyy profound things about the way i feel about it now, but i feel like what i thought about it in my most obnoxious teenage times is wayyy more interesting which is: i love this song because i too would have a song like this written about me if only my enemies were as poetic and sophisticated as s&g are so i shall imagine that my enemies are these guys my mother has an insane obsession with (and she interestingly has an insane obsession with bobby too so maybe i should ask HER about this, hers is the answer you want for this one) because that scenario could actually stylistically blend with the modern hamlet take i perceive my life as.

What would be your ideal endgame for Hyle Hunt?

listen….. I’m a hyle enthusiast fire and foremost but I think he’s gonna die LOL. i mean his sigil is a hanged stag and where is he now … getting hanged … life imitates art etc. but on the off chance that he ends up surviving like a cockroach I think he’s just gonna be some guy that fought in the big war and survived. maybe he’ll land himself a nice job under a lord so he becomes a guard or somethn instead of a hedge knight. I like the idea that jaime employs him though just to fuck with him but that’s kinda sus 👀🤭 bc why are you as someone who hates him giving him a job so he stays with you? trying to find a way to keep him close? are you guys gonna explore each other’s bodies next??

[BG3 spoilers below]

I was really hoping the Shar stuff in this game would have more nuance to it with one of your companions being a Shar worshipper. But so far it feels like the same old “darkness = evil, light = good” with a nice smattering of “Satanists Sharrans are coming to kidnap your children and groom them into their evil cult!!”

I acknowledge that most of this is rooted in D&D itself and that the writers of BG3 were probably limited in what they could do with these licensed characters and world. But it still sucks and is so boring. Feels like a high fantasy version of a every old Satanic Panic horror movie out there

reblogged a post with this line (from marie howe's "the teacher") in february 2023 and said it was probably the question of the year...interesting to think back on now after feeling like some things have really settled into the best possible place w the 23 year old in the last week. i've been going back and forth on some things all year - what does it feel like to be in love vs not, does it matter, what are my motivations for doing x y or z, how do i feel about this or that, what does it mean to be happy and am i capable of actually feeling it, what does it mean to meet someone and have so many pieces of your life begin to revolve around them so quickly, and is that codependence or some kind of substitute for something, etc etc etc. basically just analyzed things to death and back over and over again every week of every month for nearly a year. weird bad times in a lot of ways, and i do feel kind of insane for it, but i finally concluded the other day that the semantics of all of it don't matter that much to me, and that some relationships and circumstances have multiple ways of being fulfilling, and the important thing is to pick a way and stop waffling and worrying about the others...

anyway i think this is probably the question of 2024 too, because i still haven't really answered it, but it feels much less fraught than it did a year ago. the feelings are separate from the actions, and the actions feel righter than ever.

Other interpretations that confuse me - Raglan saying to Daniel that other people have tried what he's doing but are now dead or turned. To me, that clearly meant other journalists have tried to investigate or interview vampires in general over the years but didn't survive the process.

I4's worldbuilding - an explanation about why vampires have never been discovered, why nobody's ever manage to publish even an exposé that was dismissed as fiction before Daniel. It's isn't that nobody's ever caught on to the existence of vampires, it's that humans who get too close to them end up dead or undead.

I do not think they meant to say Louis and Armand specifically have done multiple interviews with other journalists, who they ended up killing or turning.
