Chapter 3 (@emarlow.bsky.social): Taemin keeps returning to the cruciform “T-pose.” Marlow follows that gesture across videos and performances to show how sacred imagery can shift as it circulates, gathering new meanings around vulnerability, desire, and transgression. #TAEMIN #CriticalKPop

Myself and @vongnome.bsky.social are working on a project and we're looking for zines that were made around 2014 (or the mid 2010s) that were in response to or reference gamergate, or mention the concept of "the gamer" in some way. Let me know if you have any leads on this!

Re: Playstation physical media dilemna - rather than telling people "we told you this would happen" maybe we could use this moment of mass public awareness to encourage more discussion & legislation for physical media conservation within the games industry, huh?

Met him once at a film festival. Was standing chatting to him and not a single person was recognising him, meanwhile I'm there completely aghast, losing my 1980s-born-baby mind. Cherry on top was he was super lovely and very gracious.
