Oh my, a whole list of (demon/ghost cat) films.

This is why I love so much: every is a gateway to hand-curated lists of conceptually-related films—genealogies along every imaginable vector.

People who fuck up lots but can't admit their mistakes will be the ones begging to see people they wronged, when near death.

I work with elderly in LTCs. I hear ALL the #regrets from people on their deathbeds.

Please, don't leave words unsaid, no matter what. If you can speak up before deathbed days - PLEASE DO IT.

OKAY I fixed it so that it says "An LGBTQ+ Ally" instead of the Energy Star thing.

I need to find the on-board flashing tool and stop yanking the EEPROM out all the time before I accidentally break it.

There's a tradition in Iceland called #Jolabokaflod, the Yule book flood, celebrated on 24th December. Folk gather together to exchange gifts of books, then settling down to read in cosy companionship through the rest of the dark afternoon and evening.

Pyjamas on, a wee drink mixed, candles lit, and a new book ready to begin. A wonderful way to start the festive holidays. What are you reading?

I’m surprised how calm I kept myself as the gentleman cut away the old frame and used a razor blade to scrape the masking tape off of a 45 year-old piece of tracing paper.

When I first showed it to him, he asked, “is that from !?” I was honestly caught off guard: I thought this was about as deep a cut as someone could make, but a stranger got it in one.

I ultimately went with a reddish gold shadow box with the artifact floating slightly over a light cream matte.

Exiting, the gentlemen who’d helped me told me, “one of the joys in this business is when something like this comes through—getting to see this up close makes my December.”

Nicely played. 😘

You know what has been funny about finally accepting myself and coming out? Realizing that there is this huge chunk of people with similar experiences. Never in my life have I've felt like I belonged more :chick_crying_laughing:

@TheSpaceshipper It has arrived. Credit to the craters: they were thorough. The framing is pretty amateur looking, so I’m going to take it over to a trusted framing shop today and task them with doing art preservation the right way.

Lurid 1970’s Samurai Cinema 

I finished up the sixth, and final, Lone Wolf and Cub film last night. I am in awe of these films. They are somehow adjacent to both El Topo and Dellamorte Dellamore (Cemetary Man), but also Sanjuro, Once Upon a Time in the West, and … Troma? 🤷‍♀️

Extremely difficult to describe without spoiling, they build on one another in ways both subtle and overt, such that I have to recommend the series as a whole as one art object. (Though, the structure of the fifth film should be called out as particularly interesting).

I watched one a week for six weeks, and that ended up feeling just right: close enough in time to one another to catch the visual and narrative rhymes, but not so close as to wear the repetitions bare .

Best Film Series ever?

Well, certainly my favorite yet!

Earlier this year I built a spreadsheet of sci-fi book recommendations from my followers on Twitter.

For 2023, I've committed to reading one book each month from this list.

I want to share this list with my new friends on #Mastodon and invite you to submit your own favorites to the list!

Here's the spreadsheet where you can review the recommendations and submit your own --> docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d

I hope you'll boost to help spread the word!

This was my favorite piece. Unfortunately, someone had already beat me to it!

We asked my 8yo if she knew what "ambidextrous" meant, and as she tried to figure it out, we heard her mutter under her breath, "It's not when two girls like each other...that's lesbians."

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
