Enough whining from me. Found an old note from Quincy Troupe that cheered me up and I'm off to early bed having taken my meds early but at least having remembered to take them.

Horrifying to see Daniel Kalban skate right over his damage.

The Complete Adelessa touches on Vita Sackville-West's book for a library in a dollhouse, and how irl one of the biggest experts on her said it doesn't reflect her, herself, even though it's about a genderqueer fun-loving faerie traveling the world living in doll houses. I'm thinking about it again.

In The Return of Bruce Wayne, as time moves around him, Bruce doesn't really acclimate to any era, doesn't change his way of talking, behaving, except when he's in the era of his childhood, a retro-40s 1970s. He reverts. Like jumping back 30 years & growing your own Cat in the Hat hat & glow sticks.

John Constantine meets Stephen Strange. It treats John's coat as a novelty. They basically stand and talk about nothing of consequence. One is edgy, but doesn't do anything edgy. The other is stuffy, but only so much. This had three credited writers. The art is good. It has fun layouts.

I've been notified, today, that one of the major comics piracy outfits will release copies of things I mention in essays right after, and was asked if I am they. I realize this is exactly what they would say, but I am not.

It's all about who you're related to and who you know. For instance, recently I've heard two variations of "we're sorry, we thought you were your mother," and this week, though someone was really interested in my work but what they wanted was a better way to contact Joy Harjo.

Annoyed enough with the last few presses to express interest and then be weird that I feel like dropping more novels on the ko-fi before I'm degenerated past bothering.

Constantly derailed by "I'd recognize that butt anywhere"/"I know those hands" etc. I fail with faces and voices enough and some of you believe you can clock a walk or shoulders. And, maybe you can.

It's funny to me to see the accusation that it's too esoteric to be understood by anyone but well-versed die hard laid at the Batman/Deadpool they wrote and not equally (or at all) at the other one from last month.

Everybody and their cousin has seen these movies & the rest is absurdism.

“You could incur 16 violations and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended"

This Boy is beautiful and fucks me up, and the filmmaker, Amy Burt, passed shortly after she made it.

Also, fuck anybody who has a problem with he/him lesbians.

Watching Abbe Robinson's wonderful sapphic short, Piper, about a woman with a shit life, shit boyfriend, and shitty apartment who is taken away by an imaginary lesbian so cool all the women and children in the neighborhood go with her to someplace better.

I begin to think part of my trouble is I've never been too bothered with not being very good or expected myself to be.

Scary True Stories is such a fun movie. Jumpstarted Japanese horror and particular trends and unafraid to put a gag story right up against something horrible. And, it feels like David Lynch-y soundscape stuff broke in, for Japan, here.

Red beans and chicken. I just saw someone who was elected to office as a Democrat admit that until Covid they treated politics as a sport and now it's "the left" is going to drive them right. I deserve this.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )
