This trend of people trying to touch blue ringed octopi for tiktok clout will probably end well

My god. I forgot, I would play guitar so much more if I didn't hate guitars and amplifiers so much.

Unfortunately, none of the other instruments are depraved enough.

I believe in humanity. One day we'll invent a guitar that doesn't fall the fuck apart when you play some enthusiastic doom metal and/or country music on it. One day we'll make an amp that doesn't sound like a little fuckin toy from Mcdonald's when you crank it up.

On Trans Day of Visibility, the Mexico City government teargassed a crowd of trans protestors that included one federal deputy, even though she's in the ruling party herself. AMLO is homophobic, transphobic trash

The other day I watched Leave the World Behind and while the general concept of the film was fine I guess and the cast was generally talented there were all these weird Boomer Lib moments in the construction of the characters that made it really alienating to anyone who's not, you know, a boomer lib

Then I go on to Wikipedia and I see that Obama personally gave feedback to the screenwriter, telling them how to make the characters more sympathetic

One of the greatest own goals in the history of cinema

@ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs I mean I think that was part of the point, that they wouldn't act like that...but instead of trying to build up a creepy atmosphere around stuff like that they tried to Say Something About Society to Upper Middle Class Liberals

Huge mistake

@ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs The kids were the weirdest part for me...what self-respecting teenager would think that the Obey Giant is still cool, the little girl that watches The West Wing, etc. Who wrote these characters? Oh right, Obama

@kiwi @inquiline @ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs whenever I go there, California strikes me as an actively dystopian place

@julieofthespirits@kolektiva.social avatar

@kiwi @inquiline @ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs full of blank eyed stepford wives convinced they live in paradise as they sweep the ashes of burnt mansions off their porch

I struggle to find anything human about it

@inquiline @ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs @kiwi I mean the ideological portrait of utopian California is effective, pet sounds is one of the greatest albums of all time

@AdrianRiskin @sidereal @inquiline @ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs @kiwi yeah, it's not the worst place in the world by far, there's just a particular cognitive dissonance it has that's really off-putting

It was probably a good Initiation Into Womanhood that the first person I dated while transitioning was a poet who objectified me, gave me a good feeling for how the deal would be

I finally finished reading Bad Habit by @velvetmolotov which comes out in English this May

My wife picked it up in Spain the other month, and read it on the plane back home, crying the entire time

It took me longer to read it, because I kept having to put it down, because it made me cry every couple of chapters

It's one of the best novels of the new wave of trans literature, on the level of Detransition, Baby or Bad Girls, and probably the best novel of the closet. You're a fool if you miss it

@jalcine @sofiav @adamgreenfield @inquiline Chinese infrastructure projects here I guess would be the Maya Train, which is shoddily built, caused perhaps irreparable environmental damage and involved the expropriation of indigenous lands. Is it worse than us or European investments in Mexico? Definitely not. Is it better? Also definitely not

@inquiline @sofiav @jalcine @adamgreenfield yeah I mean anyone who follows you knows that you tend to complain about this shit in general, you're not singling anyone out here
