So, this week has been hard. Very hard. On Monday we found out that my kind, gentle, perfect little man Fergus had diffuse, fast-moving cancer throughout his body. So we had to make the awful decision to say goodbye to him yesterday.

this was, for me, the same fundamental problem with the otherwise wonderful Eggers film The Witch. It felt like it was trying to comment on the absurdity of the witch persecutions, while winking and nodding at a devilish goat

I was so confused by the ending of The Ash-Tree when the small rounded shapes that had been described multiple times were revealed to be….big spiders? James so clearly set up the hare as the witch’s familiar. Huh.

The "follow" dichotomy I always struggle with is "I want to see every single thing you post" vs. "I want you to know that I like and respect you." My Following feed is so overstuffed as it is, but I hate the idea that people I don't follow back might think that I don't appreciate them!

Rose 🌹 @rose.bsky.team · 1d

The "follow" button confounds "I'm looking at your content" and "I endorse this content." We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.

Today’s another day of working on mosaic, so another day of well loved movies for me, starting off with Pontypool! It’s been a couple years since I’ve seen it, and that’s too long, frankly.

Image text: Mrs. French's cat is missing. The signs are posted all over town. "Have you seen Honey?" We've all seen the posters, but nobody has seen Honey the cat. Nobody. Until last Thursday morning, when Miss Colette Piscine swerved her car to miss Honey the cat as she drove across a bridge. Well this bridge, now slightly damaged, is a bit of a local treasure and even has its own fancy name; Pont de Flaque. Now Collette, that sounds like Culotte. That's Panty in French. And Piscine means Pool. Panty pool. Flaque also means pool in French, so Collette Piscine, in French Panty Pool, drives over the Pont de Flaque, the Pont de Pool if you will, to avoid hitting Mrs. French's cat that has been missing in Pontypool. Pontypool. Pontypool. Panty pool. Pont de Flaque. What does it mean? Well, Norman Mailer, he had an interesting theory that he used to explain the strange coincidences in the aftermath of the JFK assassination. In the wake of huge events, after them and before them, physical details they spasm for a moment; they sort of unlock and when they come back into focus they suddenly coincide in a weird way. Street names and birthdates and middle names, all kind of superfluous things appear related to each other. It's a ripple effect. So, what does it mean? Well... it means something's going to happen. Something big. But then, something's always about to happen.

I ended up breaking this up into a few viewings and finished it tonight. This is one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen, I am absolutely in awe of everything about it. The sets, the lighting, the weather effects, the framing, the blood, the backdrops, all of it was so perfect

I’m finally watching Kwaidan and it’s breathtaking. The backdrop sky paintings in this second story “The Woman in the Snow” are so incredibly beautiful, I’m having a little trouble focusing on the subtitles

a snowy river bank with a man standing on a short pier. there are trees covered in snow on either side and a break in the trees reveals a mottled red and white painted sky

a swirling inky blue sky with a pale yellow moon floating behind obscuring clouds. Below is a snowy landscape with barren, snow covered trees

an extremely wide shot of a landscape framed by trees. In the far distance along the horizon stands a person. The sky behind is a blend of apricot oranges and blush pinks. There is a purple and darker pink streak running horizontally through the sky and just above it, a deep pink smudge that looks like a pair of lips

a similar night scene to the previous one. A snowy landscape with dead trees, and the night sky is filled with swirling pale green forms that look like human eyes formed out of aurora borealis lights

one of the problems with developing a browsing zillow hobby is finding the *perfect* house and then you just have to sit there and wait for someone who can afford it to buy it and steal it away from your dreams 😭
