The long nights are over, the Light begins its journey home

A few months ago @jacksoneflin.bsky.social invited me to watch the Back to the Future trilogy with them and @mikestknoll.bsky.social for New Years. What they did not mention is that Jackson had re-edited the films into chronological order. A very strange way to end off 2025, but we had fun.

Halfway through Back to The Future III (chronological cut) I said the wrong thing and spent half an hour explaining Jake’s Trial from Animorphs #54, happy New Years.

Who up waking they dead man

I’m looking weary but hot in a recently painted room - the walls are a rich Olive Green.

Okay I knuckled down and finished the first coat. Gonna let it all dry then do touch-ups.

I don’t even live in New York but girl same!!!

Me in front of a tree covered in moss, wearing a red cloak held by a pin.

Waylaying housework to wander in the nature like a pagan stereotype.

Fabulous. What a weird delight.

Really thought this was going to be like, a highly allegorical art-house piece but no there's literally just an evil cave what makes you merge with another being, it's extremely literal and VERY gnarly and it RULES.

I really thought a “horror movie about a couple who really oughta break up” would be a little too slow and ponderous but I’m having a GREAT time. They fill the time with lots of Stuff to do.

For reasons, Dave Franco is forced to make the same motions as his girlfriend, only he's in the shower and she's in the car, so as she's driving through the woods he's being slammed into the walls of the shower, pressed into the glass, unable to help himself, and it RULES.

This movie is so stressful why doesn't Dave Franco wear gloves.

GOT TO THE BED SHEET SCENE and NOPE

Okay TOGETEHR is the only horror movie that's come out this year that people won't shut up about that I haven't seen, time to fix that!

*whispers* also you should join in the boycotting of Scream 7 */whispers*

While I (broadly) enjoyed this, I think the Jason character really brings it down as the POV, he's not QUITE interesting enough to carry the thing like he's supposed to, and it takes time away from establishing the characters we really needed (including Demi)

Ahhhh you are steps ahead of me! Thank you! Very excited to make this for my lunches this week! (I just got into a Pita Bread kick so this is deeply kismet)

Wait what was your recipe that looks good AF

WEAPONS was fun it's like if LONGLEGS morphed into DEAD SILENCE.

An old friend I'm reconnecting with called. I apologized for not replying for a few days after a busy weekend. He said "It's okay. I'm just so glad to have you back in my life that I'm getting greedy." and I don't think you're allowed to say things like that if you're not planning to wife me?

Happy Pride Month a guy at a bar told me “That’s a cute top” and I reflexively said “Thanks, my shirt’s cute too”

Brutal.

Jonathan Joss (Comanche, White Mountain Apache) did not simply die from a gunshot. He was murdered in a homophobic, racist hate crime by his former neighbors. He died saving his partners life. Honor his legacy-- both queerness and Indigeneity are inextricable to why he was targeted.

I’m putting this out there so that I don’t forget it, maybe see it again when urbanality makes it hard to have faith that there’s Something Beyond and Below, Laughing Gods moving in the Shadow.

Later, when I went to bed, the Othala runestone fell out of the bag of runes I keep under my pillow, and Thurisaz, for Thorson, my mother’s family name.

Did some Ancestor Work tonight for gay reasons, kept getting “River” over and over. Turns out the old man in question died by the Humber.

It’s one of those “The Y’allfather stacks up a bunch of coincidences until you can’t ignore Him” nights.

Sorry but no one has ever aura-farmed as hard as *takes off helmet* “I am no man.”

There’s a bit where Aragorn rides off to go recruit some ghosts and the riders of Rohan are like “He flees on the eve of battle!” and it’s like. My dude, tell them ANYTHING. Their hope hangs by a thread!!

Drink every time someone extremely breakable and vitally important to the plot stands in a high place looking down like it’s nothing.
