The Invite is perfectly casted. Everyone delivers the performance you might expect...and maybe a little bit more. The bookends of the movie felt schmaltzy, but everything else pitch perfect.

Hosting the authors of Antifascist Architecture next month. Really looking forward to the conversations emerging from this group. Architecture and design have played an intimate role in creating the systems of oppression that bind us; it will have an equal role in dismantling them.

flyer for an event. The Architecture Lobby is hosting Antifascist Architecture: In Conversation on July 13th at Boston Architectural College featuring the authors -- Dan Roche, Andrew Santa Lucia, and Lane Rick -- moderated by Danyson Tavares.

This school built in 1915 has been decommissioned for over ten years. Glad to be part of a team restoring its role in the community, but now as affordable housing!

On this topic, I recently read a rad book called The First and Last Bank that proposes a market of 1) raw/waste organic material 2) biochar creators (from waste or CO2 drawdown) 3) biochar banks as an alternative to our fiat currencies. A way to bring real value to carbon reduction. Stellar read.

It also matters *who* is being affected by regulations. Boston (and a few other cities) has an ordinance to reduce energy use in existing buildings, but targets larger buildings that are more impactful on emissions. [...]

About to finish Final Fantasy Tactics. Loved it. I don't finish games often, so that should say enough in itself. Which Switch game should I pick up next? It must have an ending, not like Animal Crossing or a sports title.

Saw the new movie, Resurrection, tonight. I have the DVD and vinyl for the director's previous movie, Long Day's Journey Into Night, so yeah, I like what I've seen. ...but holy moly. This was like "Bi Gan is a Filmmaker with a capital F" So much movie magic crafted so well.

I don't need to type out a paean to FFT Ivalice Chronicles when Max has the subject covered pretty well already. It's been so fun to revisit this game! The last time I played, I was far too young to understand either the storyline or joys of mechanical silliness/balance.
