Team Dresch kinda the greatest band of all time, so achingly romantic while remaining aggressively political

I’ve now been requested by name to review two plays which either means I’m too kind to bad plays or I’m the greatest writer in this city, I’m choosing to believe the latter

when someone is edgy and also doesn’t want people to respond negatively to them it’s like Okay well then you have to pick one because you can’t identify as Provocative but Afraid of Provoking . that’s not real

Love Lies Bleeding is a pretty okay crime thriller but there’s a scene where Kristen Stewart says “I wanna stretch you - I wanna see how far you can go” in a tone of voice that made me gasp so I guess you could say it’s my movie of the year

there is so much you can learn about a person from their favorite the smiths compilation album

Not to be mean but literally how the fuck does G Flip headline festivals, the music genuinely just isn’t there

morrissey in a letter to robert mackie, circa 1980.

Cautiously optimistic re disclosure day since it seems to be doing the alien abduction as SA/molestation metaphor which I’ve been desperate to find more of

reading Lena Dunham’s memoir and there’s something chic about the way she tried to fuck every single guy she ever met and only after that was unsuccessful did she settle for creative collaboration

In addition to being gentle and caring i am very neurotic and high strung. This is endearing to the right person i’m sure

@gallifreymarx IIRC the prevailing hope was that the 60th specials would be textually abt rejecting nostalgia and embracing newness (metatextuality of the toymaker, Meep, Tennant2 etc), but it ironically ended up being the opposite

It genuinely amazes me that people actually thought this when the era started off with an idea as creatively bankrupt as David Tennant is the Doctor again

Going to a vegan restaurant and a David Lynch screening my life is so awesome

Obsession should follow the Ginger Snaps model and have the second one follow Nicki in the psych ward. Maybe the third one is also a prequel set in the 1800’s with the same cast idk.

@bornposting He adores the medium and hates the industry, I don’t know why that’s so hard for people to square. Plenty of similar cases in other mediums who don’t get nearly as much backlash.

another thing that bothers me in regards to Alan Moore is that people say he 'hates comics' when he's openly talked about how he thinks comic books can do things that no other medium can

@AaronBaileyArt I wish he’d been pre-Missy. We’ve never seen a doctor and master “out of sync” with each other, and I think it would’ve been neat to see (plus it’d give more wiggle room re: missy’s death)

I'll never not be irritated with Doctor Who bringing back the Master and making him evil again. Missy had a beautiful arc and died siding with The Doctor and then in series 12 The Master just shows up evil again with no explanation.

@artbugjuice It’s a guilty favourite of mine - lots of fun weirdness going on

@dreadphanie !!! I’m always forgetting this one because I haven’t rewatched series 7b in a long while. You’re so right!!! I must rewatch it

Keeping a lost of Doctor Who episodes which remind me in any way of the Backrooms. So far I’ve seen a lot of people say God Complex but I’m embarrassed to say the first one I thought of while watching was Closing Time

@JayExci Missy gets a pass for me by virtue of how well constructed her costume is. 13’s outfit has always struck me as cheap, which I think comes mostly from the coat and tee. If the coat were more formal, maybe the tee would work better.
