Recommendations for June
It’s been a burgeoning summer unfolding before me and with that I’ve been busy with work and travel and learning and seeing friends and family. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have time for more art recommendations to share! So, without further ado, here they are: Film: Dark Waters (2019). Dir. Todd Haynes I’ve been…
Four Movie Purchases and a Recommendation
They got me. I hummed and hawed and eventually folded, succumbing to the recent Criterion Collection flash sale. Four Blu-rays have now been added to my collection (interestingly they are mostly romance-dramas–perhaps an indication of the mindset I am in currently): Marriage Story, The Hit, Broadcast News, and The Worst Person in the World. I’ve…
Why Do I Like This Game So Much? And Other Thoughts on the Consumption of Art
Nuclear Option-the game, not the parliamentary procedure This is perhaps a post that has no real answer, no real solution, but it’s an issue that sprung at me with such ferocity, was suppressed just as quickly, and now lurks every time I boot up a new game–but most specifically Nuclear Option.

Little article finds from repudiated websites thrill me, so much so that I have my own Google sheet listing…
On Migrations
Twitter is dying. It seems like that’s a fact nowadays. Elon Musk has successfully driven it into the ground (at least in the fact that now it seems only to exist as a hollow husk of its former self). I recently made the switch over to Bluesky (you can find me here!) but in doing…
In Progress
It always feels best to write on a rainy day. After all, what else is there to do–other than sit inside and feed my chronic always-online addiction. You expect me to go out into the rain? And get wet? No thanks. So, what tends to happen is I look out, see the rain, and think…
You don’t have to write about it
Sit in the feelings–it’s worth it. With the advent of this blog, my initial goal was to write about my life–regular blog things that bloggers do, I suppose. I was to detail my life, trials and tribulations, and look at my life and all that happens in it with a writerly eye. It was to…
