Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The evil is defeated by careful tracking of shipping logs. Supernatural horror aside, it turns out that Dracula is, at its core, a paean to paperwork 040
Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Dracula is a book about the importance of voice note transcription and putting papers into chronological order 161

Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Also very funny seeing Jonathan Harker obliviously going to visit a guy named Count Dracula without any lore to guide him. He notices Dracula has fangs and pointy ears and is just like, “how interesting, anyway he served me some really excellent roast chicken” 131
Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Reading Dracula…it’s fun to observe what pieces of lore didn’t stick. For example, I did not realize he is canonically mustachioed and can crawl down walls like a lizard 180

Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 09/09/2026And it only gets more and morew unserious from there!!

Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Both Moby Dick and Monte Cristo feature… - Sailors unhealthily fixated on an all-consuming quest for vengeance - Symbols of death (a shroud/a coffin) ultimately bestowing life - A fundamental goofiness that you wouldn’t expect from such august classics 5/5 stars to each 130
Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I finished this book and wow it really pops off including but not limited to: - glove slapping at the opera - forbidden love - dramatic will revisions - serial strychnine poisoning - an arrest at an engagement party - a courtroom paternity reveal almost phoenix wright-ian in its over the topness 120
Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Why enact revenge through violence when you can instead become the toast of the town? Then you can psychologically terrorize your enemies via strategic party invitations, “offhand” comments, bad stock tips, and associations with Italians 110
Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 02/09/2026The book is most famous for its prison break sequence (which is incredible) but who knew the majority is taken up by the convoluted social machinations of a fabulously wealthy hashish enthusiast who everyone keeps comparing to a vampire 120

Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I kind of want to dive back in too (esp since it’s been months since I read the rest of it and it is soooo enjoyable) but the next book on my list calls! 020
Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Now that I’m through Moby Dick, I’m ready to read The Count of Monte Cristo alongside @schlage.town 020
Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Took a looong break from my reread of Moby Dick and finally finished—I’d stopped right when they begin the last doomed chase. Those last few pages are relentless—sucked me in then spat me out as abruptly as Queequeg’s lifebuoy coffin 🐋 270

Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Same as it ever was, I suppose. But it’s a shame that in a time when distribution has been made trivial by the social media, it has to be harder to draw professionally. And that current circumstances exist because artists’ previous work has been strip mined without permission 010
Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 05/05/2026The business use cases for drawing (advertising, concept art, editorial, etc) care only about final output and speed, and not the artist’s personal satisfaction. Fine. But it saddens me that the ability to make a living by drawing has narrowed to such a pinpoint 130
Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I love drawing because the way simple marks build up into something greater than the sum of their parts is like God’s greatest magic trick. Making the marks is meditative, it feels good. When they click into a convincing image the sense of accomplishment is unparalleled. GenAI bypasses all of that 160
Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Have never seen anyone happier to see a dashed off doodle of a dump truck. This is what I put in all those hours practicing for 050
Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · 07/04/2026I used to draw with a poorly thought out audience of “whoever’s on the internet” in mind….I’ve since pivoted to creating for one client only—my child—and I’m one million times more fulfilled 180
