iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

A long time ago I wrote a short story where a space whale develops a love of Nutella. Quite frankly, Artemis ii has shown how right I was to suggest this.

Chili and cinnamon rolls were an absolute revelation. Kansas got that right.

Why is Mariah Carey singing Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu at the Olympics when they could have had Lucio Corsi?

Speculative fiction about bodily autonomy and what it means to be human is the best thing ever.

What I enjoy about Portugal in Eurovision is that they just keep right on being unapologetically Portugal.

I’m trying to figure out what to wear to the launch of an anthology in which I have a story. I asked Pinterest and it suggests pleated khaki pants, white button down, and suspenders. A 1980s Karen Blixen? A hobbit? May opt for black.

#eurovision opinion: France. I want to like this song more than I do. Really. But I just don’t think I can take another year of France sending a ballad and having the staging be “stand there and sing”. Maybe they’ll give Louane something better?

#Eurovision opinion: Estonia. When I first heard this song I thought it was super fun. Now I’m not so sure. Tommy Cash was not amazing at the Estonian final and the song itself feels a bit too jaded. Yes, I know, Performance Art. But I’d rather have a love letter to Eurovision.

#Eurovision opinion: Denmark. The more I listen to Sissal’s Hallucination, the more I like it. If she gets some quality staging she should place high. Also, she seems super nice. I like it when nice people are rewarded with massive success.
