listening to a recorded interview on Research Records with Tim Birkhead, an ornithologist who has won many awards for research & teaching quality & who, next to Margaret Atwood, is one of my favourite popular SciComm writers alive today

In Knives Out Blanc wanted to do the murder mystery investigation with Marta so bad, but she was certain she was guilty so she spent a good amount of the movie avoiding/hiding stuff from him

Meanwhile in Glass Onion Helen was fucking carrying the investigation, even while accidentally getting drunk, and even went to investigation lengths Blanc was hesitant to do

puzzle games are so satisfying, aren't they? especially the ones that don't take much thought. match three style games are the best in that regard.

so what would happen if I laid some hypnotic traps? ones that would make an already mindless game even more so?

how long would it take before you notice how you've been getting fractionated with every click? how the bigger combos send you deeper than the smaller ones?

how long before you're too blank, too empty, too mindless to even see where to click next?

maybe then I'd change the rules. switch out the traps. making each combo into a wave of arousal, each stage cleared giving you waves of pleasure until playing the game feels as though you're masturbating.

how long would you last after that, before the pleasure overwhelms you into orgasm?

would you still chase after just one more click?

harrows a sped kid but gideon is a girl who should by all accounts at LEAST have a 504 plan but all adults dismiss her as merely combative and disruptive, at Best theyll throw in a "not utilizing her potential to the fullest." multiple teachers have vaguely alluded to her having ODD rather than think for a second about why she might be acting like that

I've got this colleague at my day job who keeps saying infuriating things, but they are so funny in the context of the fact that evenings and weekends I'm making a Sherlock Holmes computer game.

Me: Oh yeah I'm learning Javascript at the moment. Him: Pff you don't want to do that. You're an artist and graphic designer, that's where your strengths are, I think you'll find computer programming really boring, it's not for everyone. Me: *looks at fourth wall and shrugs*

Me: I read this really interesting paper about a project working with dementia patients, where they guide them through making a memory map of familiar places. Him: Ooh, like Sherlock Holmes and his mind palace. Him: See, Sherlock Holmes has a mind palace. Him: But I'm sure you don't read those sorts of books, you wouldn't be interested. Me: *Sitting on a zoom call, with my collection of Strand magazines and signed picture of William Gillette very visible behind me. Opens mouth. Decides I don't have the energy. Closes mouth.*

The horrors persist, but me? Not so much

Also my dudes, if you ever in London and you’re huge Hadestown nerds, you can visit National Theatre Archives and watch the proshot of London Hadestown from 2018 (for those who might not know, it’s similar to Broadway/tour/west end in terms of costume design but has different characterisation for orphedice in particular + different lyrics) with most of the OBC playing the roles.

The archives have 2 proshots, one from different angles and one from a wide angle, I watched a multiple angle one and it’s really great. Plus they have some other Hadestown stuff, you can see all of it in the archive catalogue. You can book the day to see it in the archive website and even watch it in group for free.

Also the people who work in the archives are super lovely and we accidentally run into one lady who works there and also is a huge Hadestown fan :3 Overall 10/10 would recommend!

Day 5 "Magic" (because I forgot to post it yesterday lol)

And here's Day 6 "Books"! I was going to do something else, but I had this idea and loved it--the idea that Crystal grew up to become a journalist or historian or something who shines a light on all those who would otherwise be lost to time.

Title: "The Boys of St. Hell's & Other Forgotten Lives by Crystal Palace S.V.H."

Dedication: "To Charles & Edwin, & all those whose lives were lost and forgotten. I will remember you."
