As someone who only knows how to work really very hard on things, let me tell you, no joke, I worked harder on this than anything I've ever worked on before, including any previous year of the festival. Letting myself feel relieved and proud today 💛

You can buy it, and a bunch of other handsome merch to celebrate the release of XOXO's new commemorative archive site (xoxofest.com) at Buy Olympia: buyolympia.com/Artist/XOXO

The book is a perfect-bound and RISO-printed play-by-play of the whole event, a little tribute to something (like XOXO itself) that was wonderful while it lasted.

It'd be so easy to attribute this to some sort of COVID-related mania, but all this happened in September 2019. The XOXO Slack was just fertile ground for the sort of joke pile-on that was once the best thing about Twitter.

One night, apropos of very little, people started awkwardly shoehorning the band Death Cab for Cutie into every meme format imaginable. This continued for 6 days.

Up until a few years ago, XOXO maintained a Slack instance for all attendees. It was great. A nerdy little enclave where people shared things they were working on, things they were enjoying. Jokes, gripes, miscellany.

Tickets secured for @themountaingoats.bsky.social at Carnegie Hall! If only there was a convenient joke to make at this time about that particular venue.

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

You know who should've won an Oscar last night? The person who designed the little 'Gravity on / off' buttons in Alien Romulus.

An dusty, industrial looking control panel in a wall. There are two big white square buttons on it. The one on the left has a red border and the letter 'i' touching the bottom, representing a person stuck to the ground (the dot of the i being their head). The 2nd button also has a red border, but inside the button is an upside down stickman figure, arms and legs spread out. To indicate this person is floating around helplessly in zero-gravity.

For me this was absolutely Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man/Spider-Man 2/Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and the Infamous games.

Some buds and I watch a movie each week and talk about it on Discord, and we call it Movie Film Club. I make a title card for the group chat whenever the mood takes me, and it brings me an immense amount of joy.

Everybody's mad at the incorrect use of POV—where are my people infuriated by BookTok and Goodreads users making DNF into a verb. "I DNFed it"? Absolutely the fuck not.

Great list, this. Tons of stuff I hadn't heard. Jessica Pratt, Nala Sinephro, Magdalena Bay, MJ Lenderman, all favourites though.
