I was introduced to Tim Curry in childhood staple The Hunt For Red October, in a role basically made for him: A hapless Soviet naval doctor who doesn't realize every single one of his fellow officers is defecting to the enemy, even after they leave the boat.
hello I'm the terrifying paradimensional space god monkey Nagilum
Found this book by freak chance and it's absolutely dismantling my life.
Finished this morning. I treasure this collection for opening my eye.

As the great @paperbackparadise.bsky.social says, the only way out is to read.
In Seattle I programmed my own little film studies degree by deep diving into things I found fascinating at my "campus library," @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social. I'm satisfied with how far I got, but it was fun to find this old list plotting my next adventures.

Today we listened to great music, did some psychedelic free-pixeling before my trip this weekend, talked about leaving elitism behind in art communities, and celebrated our togetherness. I love creating occasions for togetherness.
I'm reading "Scattered All Over the Earth" by Yoko Tawada, who plays effortlessly with language and linguistics in a way that I can't get enough of—this particular aside reminded me of some of your writing on here.
Happy October. 🍂 Here's a pumpkin who grew up rectangular because he had a bad childhood. Don't worry, he's on his healing journey now.
This review from the spring feels oddly prophetic. I was a babe in the woods then and had not played Factorio. But come fall, o, my gears did turn. ⚙️
Resonating today is this newer work of Yoko Tawada's, about invented languages that slip into the negative space between lost countries and elapsed epochs. 📚
