Silent Hill 2 OST by Akira Yamaoka, albeit it inconsistently. It pairs the shimmery and the angelic with the demonic and dirty. The juxtaposition let's the highs hit all the more keenly. Absolutely stunning album.

Friendship with Ohio State fans is simultaneously an act of torture for their cult-like devotion to that team and also--very unfortunately--an act which allows me to witness religious awe at whatever super player they cooked up this year. I have no explanation for Jeremiah Smith and it scares me.

Yes and I adore it. I shall never complain about paranormally-instigated homosexuality. 🙂‍↕️

October 11th was National Coming Out Day. As such, I want to share my congratulations to Tua Tagovailoa for Coming Out and immediately f*cking up. It's a rite of passage.

No way under any circumstances we will be able to keep Declan Doyle after this season. As such, I am savoring master classes like that overtime drive while I still may. "GO RAVENS!" she screamed ecstatically and with reckless abandon.

If I hear one more person say, "Gen Z killed night life" and not, "Inflation, reduced buying power, and corporatization killed night life", I'll buy them a handle and hand-paint a sign to turn their apartment into a speakeasy (to the A*T*F agents reading this, this is a joke). Make merry, my dears!

There's more decrying the corporatization of <<the weird>> that began in the 90's this week. Culture is not static ! We have space to play outside of the beige void! We can create weird stuff ourselves! Honest to goodness, creating nonsense art for my friends and only my friends was a salve.

It just means there's more space to create different things now. The efforts can start micro and then work macro. Just because there's sameness now doesn't mean there has to be forever.

It also made me realize those munchkins don't have the energy that we have. That was my biggest takeaway: we can outlast them any day and build cool things over years. Maybe we take a rest or two in the process, but that's why we build institutions that are bigger than just one person.

I've been thinking about their situation and that same org's situation since I heard the story. What I hate most is how it caused me to play my cards closer to my chest in the community. That feeling sucks.
