I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

An dusty, industrial looking control panel in a wall. There are two big white square buttons on it. The one on the left has a red border and the letter 'i' touching the bottom, representing a person stuck to the ground (the dot of the i being their head). The 2nd button also has a red border, but inside the button is an upside down stickman figure, arms and legs spread out. To indicate this person is floating around helplessly in zero-gravity.

You know who should've won an Oscar last night? The person who designed the little 'Gravity on / off' buttons in Alien Romulus.

For me this was absolutely Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man/Spider-Man 2/Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and the Infamous games.

Some buds and I watch a movie each week and talk about it on Discord, and we call it Movie Film Club. I make a title card for the group chat whenever the mood takes me, and it brings me an immense amount of joy.

Everybody's mad at the incorrect use of POVβ€”where are my people infuriated by BookTok and Goodreads users making DNF into a verb. "I DNFed it"? Absolutely the fuck not.

success is not wealth, nor longevity, nor power. all these are temporary, ephemeral. success is when you get Pringles, the extruded potato snack

Great list, this. Tons of stuff I hadn't heard. Jessica Pratt, Nala Sinephro, Magdalena Bay, MJ Lenderman, all favourites though.
