get this book! i cannot recommend this novel more highly or more enthusiastically

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things

whatsapp video chat - i think - windows. clockwise from top left: me with a baby yoda squish-pillow in the background, simon and nathan with brightly colored microphones, and david wearing big headphones

i had the loveliest time talking about "torchwood: children of earth" with the @flightthroughentirety.com crew for "500-year diary" this evening. it's a brutal, but timely, watch in 2026. thanks to @nathanbottomley.com, @simonmoore.bsky.social, and @johnnyspandrell.bsky.social for having me!

it was such an astonishing performance. that video has always presumed the existence of all the rest of that performance. hope it sees the light of day in some way, some day

hahahahahaha that is a fun fact!

that's fabulous news! one of the great things about this festival is out of 120 things i watched, i get to see something like this. it's a delight

the only song i don't like on that record - don't tell jenn - is "ida glow." something about it just feels off. but yeah, "the joke" 100% rules, and so does "birthplace." and "minor justice." and "you, the vatican" hahahahaha

"paranormal" was also made in the outer banks, which is just kind of cool.

yes! dude just kept sending her on weird quests! and nothing really bad happened to her; she was just allowed to explore and push the boundaries of experience. i could do that as a tv show. i really loved it. i wanted them to follow up with that weird witch who was doing blood magic

YouTube video by Merge Records on YouTube Wye Oak - Fortune (Live from JOIN)

and it was 6 years ago tonight - the last show i saw before pandemic hit - that i saw wye oak at duke. this show was phenomenal, and this song in particular. jenn hits that last note with the force of a meteor www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0qb...

YouTube video by FlockofDimesVEVO Flock of Dimes - Everything Is Happening Today

happy 9th anniversary to flock of dimes' "everything is happening today." i love all of jenn's records, but "if you see me, say yes" is really special to me www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOdg...

the awards committee really liked "lesions," but "driver" and "red mask" were my personal faves, among the features, at least

omg i'm so glad you liked them! i thought "the mid-night driver" was weird and hypnotic and inventive. i love that it took the girl's interest and fascination in exploring the occult seriously. more films should delve into a youth's burgeoning interest in eerie magics

i loved both of these! let me know how they turn out for you!

yes! super jealous! i know @dhollingsworth.bsky.social and a bunch of @trapone.bsky.social folks are there! you should look out and say hello!

three people pulling faces on internet chat windows

happy hatching day 🐣 to noted and self-professed "doctor who" podcast slag, @dhollingsworth.bsky.social. he often jokes that we talk to each other on podcasts more than we talk to our own families, and that's probably true. here we are pulling faces with ross on @gallifreysmwpod.bsky.social

The first episode of Too Hot For TV is out today. Me and @michaelmills.bsky.social discuss the audio adaptation of William Gibson's unmade alien 3 script and the comic crossover Aliens / Vampirella by Corinna Bechko.

awesome! i admit i haven't seen the most recent band configuration without peter hughes, but i did just see john play solo at the pinhook in november

also, i did only just notice that the mountain goats are touring in october, though the london dates are already both sold out, there are waitlists, and it looks like there are still tix for bristol and manchester! www.mountain-goats.com/tour

i feel like i mention this all the time now, but "nancy" is such a fun daily escape

I do not have a taco, but what if I did.

i cannot imagine being an empty nester; i can only just barely take care of baby eggigail

we can call it the reverse omnibus
