Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat was extraordinary!! Highly recommend. It's at Film Forum if you're in NYC https://my.filmforum.org/events/soundtrack-to-a-coup

the Wicked movie looks great and I am excited to watch it

you gotta understand I am a former theater kid who grew up reading the super fucked up b-side Oz books that my dad had when he was a kid

also the novel the musical is based on!! is fun!! i will enjoy a lil spectacle as a treat sorry

like the audience for this will probably be ux designers or something and i just don't have it in me to tell them to like use standard fonts and make less js-heavy websites to do their part

working on a "internet infrastructure, what is it" talk for the first time in a while and really tempted to just turn it into a call for butlerian jihad

An eight foot tall skeleton tipping his top hat and belting out "laws are vibes", hello-my-ragtime-gal style

People keep asking me about my "The Future is TK" sweatshirt and it's always sort of awkward explaining a dumb media joke so from now on I'm just going to say it's short for Ted Kaczynski

who knew the nervous system was such a big deal

In the "gotta do things but the grief is paralyzing" stage of things, mix of guilt for letting people down and confusion as to how I can continue existing at all

lmao posted on bluesky about how nonprofit newsrooms are also separately dependent on billionaires and a former board member of the markup concurred, buddy u are not in a position to take the moral high ground!!

Grief is so exhausting

https://buttondown.com/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-96/ this week in sentences: fervency, polygons, history embarrasses, direct contact, a hundred times more, braggadocio, we can't stop trying, probably been overcompensated, apple time machine

Thinking about her (the elaborate ARG marketing campaign for Cloverfield)

Did it, the riddles (written PhD exam questions) are done, now I prepare to do battle with the wizards (the oral exam where I have to talk to my committee)

Prepared to be attacked for this but an editorial board actually having the guts to say "we're not endorsing anyone bc of the moral catastrophe of genocide" would be based as hell, sucks that it's just coward billionaires

For the last week I've kind of been holding it together out of shock and because I've focused on supporting Ramsey bc she was his first dog, but it's starting to really hit me how big the hole in my chest is without my dog around

The vet's office sent a card about Kitty and it made me cry because seeing all the vet techs and the receptionist's notes about how special Kitty was made me think about how many lives she touched

Exams update: doing Julie's questions last and they're good but they're annoyingly hard so I am trying hard to not give into anxiety about getting it wrong lol
