COOL NEWS: As part of my annual New Year's Day portfolio update, I've re-uploaded EILEEN QUINN. It's now free to read in its entirety, for good this time! http://irisjay.net/index.php/eileen/

UPDATE: yeah fuck it, I’m tired and I still need to wash clothes and help nero with tamales. also I like sitting inside our nice cool apartment. NEXT TIME THO. also I may still head out later for Evening Fun

(going doe?????)

also idk about going stag, it just feels weird

hanging out at pridefest today was fun but I’m weighing whether I want to go back out tonight for the dyke march

PROS: I’m Dyke
CONS: Legs Hurt

the really fucked thing is i think i got out of Crimes of the Future what most people seemed to get out of The Matrix Resurrections, which i guess speaks to how my tastes have shifted over time

i think the fact that Saul eventually figures out that he can eat plastic might be kind of a commentary on how creativity doesn't exist in a vacuum, and how we're affected by the legacy we create and the interference ripples that legacy causes around us. the act of yanking our ideas out of ourselves and showing them off to the world does not leave us unscarred, but we often only understand their true significance when we see them reflected in others

crimes of the future is horny, sexy and gross, but the thing i like the most about it is that it's basically a movie about being an old guy known for doing The One Thing and people bugging you about doing The One Thing a lot, and imitating The One Thing you do, and meanwhile you're just like "man what the shit is going on with me"

HOAGIE DOZER HOAGIE DOZER HOAGIE DOZER

and yet so many people i know continue to have awful taste, how strange

there are also a lot of good books out right now but those are slightly easier to engage with. also a lot of good comics. plus good music. we kind of live in the midst of an irritating wealth of quality entertainment

there are a lot of good games out right now and i have very little time to actually play them while also doing other, more engaging life things

personally i've been trying to read more Intense books lately to act as a way to leaven my brain from reading a Discworld book every month. gotta keep Terry's writing style, delightful as it is, from wearing a groove in my brain
