Watching Backrooms I couldn't get this quote from @sofiaajram.bsky.social's Coup de Grâce out of my head: "It is a place that has intention—an interior built for humans, wholly unoccupied by them." It still gives me chills.

Saw Backrooms last night and I loved it! Tight script, gorgeous sets, and so fun. It's a beautiful direction for the genre and I'm already itching to see it again—it was such a visual feast! I can't wait to hear what others think.

Really enjoyed Hokum! Solid scares, fun set. That said, what a rotten theatre experience. I had to ask a lady to put her phone away because she was thrashing through 50 apps every few minutes. If you cannot stay off your phone for 1h40m, your brain is fucking cooked. Stay home.

A precise picture of what it felt like to grow up in the early 2000s & be enmeshed in a codependent friendship, using it as a conduit into queerness, and a perfect render of how it felt to be a gay trans man in the 00s w/o the language to express it Recommend if I Saw the TV Glow resonated with you

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

Writing historical fiction is just a series of repeatedly finding out a tool or patent or industry technology did not exist until oftentimes long after you are setting a story.

COUP DE GRÂCE is, to its benefit, a short book, but for a book about being trapped in an inescapable space that all looks the same, it keeps you guessing as to what’s possible and what’s next. A specific structural change near the end had me yelling “fuck you” at the book (complimentary).

Ajram might as well have written COUP DE GRÂCE specifically for me. A main character with suicidal ideation, wandering through a recursive, liminal space made of brutalist architecture, finding cracks in the foundation that lead to—something unimaginable. It’s EXTREMELY my shit.
