Go today if you can. There are a lot of details that won't come through as well on a small screen. I saw it in standard and wished I'd gone for IMAX

If you can twist the plot of whatever into a Christian allegory or parable, problematic content such as magic use (lotr) or violence (Braveheart) is excusable. My mom raved about The Incredibles as a parable for the charismata lol

PS I am one of those people who is susceptible to addiction; there was a time in my life where I was hooked on pain pills and kratom is a much healthier alternative, easier to manage without becoming physically addicted. We need better care for addicts AND people in pain.

There need to be options for people in pain other than "thug it out." Kratom was life-changing for me, I can hold a full-time job now where I had to call out like 8x a month because I was in so much pain before I started using it. I know several other people in similar situations.

My concern isn't frivolous either. Response to addiction in the US has largely been to block access to pain medication. Other countries with better healthcare sell codeine OTC and have addiction programs that don't cost a year's pay.

well yeah, there is, which is an extremely slim market for "protein powder that makes you take a deep nap" Just personally sick of seeing addiction used as a reason to block access to QoL stuff for people in pain! Regulate by all means but what I'm seeing is "control or ban this"

My point is that it's only "really scary" if you're 1) extremely susceptible to opiate addiction and or buying synthetics/concentrates

Unfortunately the extreme measures we as a society have taken to protect that minority have resulted in lack of access to drugs that can improve quality of life for people with chronic pain conditions signed, chronic pain sufferer who's been taking kratom for 8 years

The plain ol leaf powder is very effective pain relief with little danger of overdose. The problem is synthetics and concentrates.

Poem for a hot day (originally published in @cottonxenomorph.bsky.social)
Nature Walk

Ticks microwave their blood meal
and eat dinner alone while other beasts
run circles around heat-stroked starlings.
You know, God flooded the earth
for good reason. He, too, was sick
of the dusk-rotten summer. Earth
has hit the hottest temperatures on record
for I don’t know how many days now.
I guess we all hold ceremony
in our own desperate ways.
I read a poem to the dried-up riverbed
and visit all the places I used to keep cool
in your shadow. It’s the Year of the Rabbit,
year of admitting our collective calamities.
Look: my skin sweats with longing
and yet the bugs want nothing to do with me.
If they only knew how much I needed
their tradition of touch, to swell for weeks
in the aftermath of gnawing voracity.

I've done waaay too much thinking about what a confessional poem is over the last few years and what I've landed on is a confessional poem has to carry the weight of regret.

I never had a desire to use AI in my writing, but I do deal with memory issues so I went through a phase of trying to use chatgpt to do data tracking on a couple of projects. It was a total boner, deleted all of the data I'd been tracking and hallucinated results instead. Useless.

actually a form of woke I have to consider in my job at a women's shelter. We have an unwritten list of guests who need consistent reminders of things because of dementia/TBI/trauma-related memory issues. But like, AI can't remember shit, so it won't help

She's the sweetest girl. Even people who have their own dogs have said she's something special. She started out as a therapy dog for someone with cptsd and autism and is the gentlest, friendliest baby.

It's been a rough week. I found out my sweet girl has terminal cancer. She has been my constant companion through years of instability. I'm heartbroken but focusing on feeding her as much cheese as she wants.

Basically the con of being a Borrower (4" tall person with normal intelligence but proportionally smaller strength) is the cats eating you. The pro is when you steal pills you can get seriously fucked up for a long time.

the flipside of the Granta shenanigans is how difficult it is to get into these upper tier magazines unless you have some sort of professional clout already, if poorly executed, lyrically garbage, MFA-derivative stuff is getting in + the editors' friends, there's really no place for anyone else

I'm such a rewatcher that I've seen In Bruges AT LEAST half a dozen times while blackout drunk, to the point where this was about the only line I could remember
