Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

Sinners (2025) was phenomenal, the blending of genre, time, the score. this movie is a period drama the way Nope (2022) is a blockbuster.

listening to Dr Anna Blume talk about bannerstones and the way she breathes life onto these mostly overlooked Indigenous objects thousands of years old is a powerful experience

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Sick and tired
(Disclaimer: trans is at the head for a reason, but all else is random. Getting distracted by what should go where is exactly the petty distraction they want.)

Nosferatu (2024) has made me angry in a way no other movie has, everyone who described it as a woman reclaiming sexual agency is wrong and needs to rethink their relationship to power/consent

Rooted in the gazes of those lost to history, Euphrosyne Doxiadis’s book “The Mysterious Fayum Portraits” explores the cultural significance of ancient Egyptian funerary portraits across time and geographies.
Returning the Gaze of Ancient Egyptian Funerary Portraits
As an artist, reading Euphrosyne Doxiadis’s book made me consider how we can draw inspiration from Egyptian art while engaging it thoughtfully — reverently, even.
