i liked the new resident evil movie. a couple of bad one-liners but to me, mostly funny and charming. lots of wet-looking, elaborately grotesque monsters.

i feel like people are starting to call any comedy dialogue in a non-comedic movie (action, horror, etc) "marvel". i think it's ok for movies to have little jokes

been trying to get to the bottom of why i am experiencing chronic pain, found out today i have pcos/pmos. the medical consensus on whether that could be a cause/contributing factor in my case seems to be "idk"

im at a showing of Primetime booing every time chris hansen is on screen and cheering every time a pedophile is on screen just so there's a difference of opinion in the crowd and it's easier to start a dialogue #biden2028

some ppl in the replies getting on my ass for saying journalists are a "class". i was using it colloquially to mean "category" and not in a communist way. everyone here is addicted to nitpicking

as a transgender person i have to admit i hold journalists in a very low level of esteem bc as a class they kind of did all hop on board with manufacturing consent for the project of exterminating the minority group im a part of

i am taking the week off from updating again. i'm sure you all have noticed that there has been an increasing amount of schedule slippage, with more weeks where an update goes up late or not at all.

deleting all the posts i made abt the converse ad. i still think i was right but it was starting to attract Bluesky Libs in the qts and also i don't care that much if people think converse is racist.

i need to stop posting so much and write more. i've been sick this week but in general. lately writing feels lonely to me tbh. i wonder if there's a way to make it feel more social or if i should just grin and bear it

has anyone else played the tabletop game firelock 198x? it's really fun

max graves @maximumgraves.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

i played video games very, very little/only if i was super into the story and imagery, until a friend bought me balatro bc i said i had fun playing (only) the first half of inscryption. and the success of balatro influenced people to make a ton of games that are sort of like balatro. so i like those

when i was a kid my parents were always like "you'll look back and be grateful for this when you're older". and it was basically never true, except for them making me do chores. hated it at the time but i can clean the hell out of a toilet

i feel like a lot of people are not good at "reading" the visual and symbolic content of images bc they were never taught to do it and don't know it's a skill you can have

the thing about being secular homeschooled was that some people kept being steampunk for a pretty long time. like until 2016

it's important to know that at the time i was also blogging elsewhere about movies that made me really mad. sometimes contemporary ones but also some i just saw on cable and didn't like

i often feel people really trying to shrink me into some kind of demographic box that determines what kind of person they think i am. sometimes it's an attempt at friendship/relating to me and sometimes it's to dismiss or make fun of me. i never like it though

side effect of making a comic that includes tumblr is that sometimes people will be like "wow your comic reminds me so much of my teen years on tumblr" and then go on to describe a bunch of stuff that i didn't do and also isn't in the comic

when i was a kid, my homeschool theater group instructor (guy who dressed like a pirate) showed us pictures of his doctor who-themed wedding cake. i don't think that marriage lasted very long
