The big question is did I have a thing for Brutalist architecture BECAUSE I went to this school, or is that why I chose to go there? www.timeout.com/london/news/...
London is getting a new museum all about brutalist architecture
The museum will be housed in one of the UK’s last brutalist school buildings.

I used to scoff at scenes where someone is trying to explain something scientific and they pick up objects from the desk as props, but now that I am writing a scene were such an explanation is required...the temptation to go 'this-stapler-here?This-stapler-is-the-sun-mode' is almost unbearable.

I didn’t want to post anything because I know I’ll be seen as a hater, but the premise of Alien: Earth does not excite me one bit. It feels like they decided to set it on earth because it’s cheaper. It’s like I really want The Expanse, but I’m getting The Rig instead.

Today I’m at the American Dream Mall, for research purposes. I started writing some scenes set here and it’s so different to the pictures and how I imagined it, it’s actually changed some plot points. #amwriting #fieldtrip

Anyone done a mash-up of Perfume Genius' "On The Floor", and Bryan Adams' "Can't Stop This Thing We Started" yet? Asking for a friend...

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

12/1 - Your first job

A summer job at 16 in a band merch warehouse. The cool AF workers would bring in the best music to play, and that's where I first heard this:

I had a minor nervous breakdown this morning making a spinach artichoke dip. How's your Turkey Day going?

Me: I love this new mushroom coffee! What's in it?
Them: Well, it's a blend of Reishi, Turkey Tail, King Trumpet, Cordyceps, Lion's Mane
Me: Could you just repeat that?
Them: Lion's Mane?
Me: The one before that...
Them: Cordyceps
Me:

Alt: a cartoon cat is running and diving out a window with the words that's it i'm out, and I've seen both The Last of Us and The Girl With All The Gifts so I'm not going anywhere near that stuff, babes!

Day 5 (two days late): Placebo - Running Up That Hill

I get that many consider Placebo as goth-adjacent at best, but I've loved this one since I first heard it and they kill it live.
