Widowed and nonbinary. I talk a lot about Star Trek, Ohio, cats, dinosaurs, and whatever I’m watching. The Columbus Dispatch once called me a “local cartoonist and customer-service rep.” (They/Them)

Hi new followers, here’s what you’re in for:
Weird bits of late-20th century nonsense from Columbus, Ohio (a city that’s as much a sitcom town as Springfield or Pawnee).
A fair amount of Star Trek talk.
Rambling about what I’m reading/watching/playing.
I write and post a poem every day.
Cat photos.

I wonder if the Buckeye Donuts scene was written for the campus Buckeye Donuts, but then film permits where you might accidentally catch OSU on camera or make it look dangerous either expensive and/or a pain.

It’s a diegetic location caption!
(It’s a little unclear in the photo, but the “Short North” at the top is just the actual arch.)

It’s the beard too. This just can’t be real life.

Arch City, U.S.A., baby!

The Ohio Statehouse is a real -character- in this movie.

The opening of I am Wrath is genuinely upsetting. I’d remembered that it’s is a right wing fever dream about gangs in the Short North, but seeing the neighborhood where I grew up as a warzone is not fun to watch tonight.
But then we get this great Port Columbus shot (I think before the name change)

Oh, you need to watch this! It’s awful, but also amazing! This is something we’d get from Video Spectrum.

Since we’re doing 2016 photos.
I hadn’t thought about having the same phone background for nearly a decade now.

Two white friends tail me home if it's outside the hours when people are out and about. I'm damn near third generation Minnesotan. It's not just "you're a citizen you'll be fine." I'm a black woman alone. Who knows what they will do.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

He's an elderly cat with arthritic joints, his jumping days behind him, and a questionable sense of balance.

Important Kanopy news!
They just added I am Wrath, a terrible John Wick knock-off that was filmed in the neighborhood where I grew up (which it casts as a dangerous haven of crime).

Wow! Yeah, I completely missed this (it looks like it came out when I was in college and didn't have a TV in my dorm room, so that might be part of it).
Also do they live in the Family Guy house?

It’s great (and on Kanopy)! Like a Mission: Impossible movie that also has things like a spring-loaded cake.

I drew a straight for this week’s #LastFourWatched. Which is to say Twilight is much better than the sad divorce standup, though not as good as hundred year-old homoerotic Olympians in slow motion. But of course the highlight was the John Woo slapstick heist movie that maybe ends with an OSU game.
