finished Public Access Afterworld today & while i think Schoenbrun is a better writer for film than in prose i did 100% enjoy & have more thoughts about this novel than I have had about any of their films (Worlds Fair excepted). Its a fuckin good book.

okay but thats kinda a banger of a sentence

okay one last time & i shut the hell up: i wrote about some cool films that no one likes for good reasons, earnestly & from the perspective of someone who genuinely loves them & has for at least a decade

From After Earth to The Haunting (1999), The Phantom of the Opera (Argento) to Thir13een Ghosts, I wrote short intros and then 400-1000 words about movies that I genuinely love and what about them speak to me. I'd be delighted if whoever you are, you took a peak beegabberel.itch.io/bees-movies

had no interest in the new Wilson book but did grab the advanced audiobook & its cool that its apparently a material history of translation. some things i immediately dont know about but having been mired in videogame discourse about translation it does feel a bit refreshing

oh this is really very good

"The last time I saw a report on Peters’s personal life, she was dividing her time between New York and the Caribbean coast of Colombia, a country where she is establishing legal residency.

One doesn’t want to romanticize adversity. Yet there is relief in having a false accommodation laid bare. It was simply never going to be this easy, and if the dream of a universal atomism is receding out of view, that vision of life wasn’t much to write home about. If nothing else can be said for the year 2026, it is at least impossible to imagine Detransition, Baby being written now."

my problem from the last few years can now be everyone’s problem! thanks to all at @oaklandreviewofbooks.org for helping me bring this one home. 💜

Okay, Bee Day Came & Bee day went. My zine about 10 Movies Just For Bees is up properly in PDF on itch for free and on the master blog list here, where you can see sixteen years of art I've made to release on my birthday. thanks everyone uninterpretative.blogspot.com/2021/10/bees...

Bee's Birthday Gifts: A History, with Links

In 2011, I started a number of things. Very few of them are still ongoing. Here's one thing that is: Every year, for my birthday, I make a g...

there's a print and fold version and a screen version, and lmao I just realized I put up the Doc files not PDFs but I am at the park where i celebrate so that'll maybe get fixed tomorrow. if yr in the Bay and want a physical copy, hmu.

did a bee day, happy bee day to everybody, sucks

In 2011 I started a tradition: every year on my birthday I would release some piece of art into the world. I somehow haven't missed a year since and, also surprisingly, have made a thing that might be my favorite of the lot so far: a zine that is about the movies I love that no one else does.

happy bee day nerds beegabberel.itch.io/bees-movies here's roughly 7,000 words about movies you hate or forgot that I adore

Tomorrow i will turn 38, which feels impossible but hey. I will also, for the sixteenth time, release a gift into the world (spoilers its a zine again). If you'd like, here is a link to the poems, albums, games, & more that I've made so far uninterpretative.blogspot.com/2021/10/bees...

oh hell yeah its a good podcast

It’s true! We talk conflagrations, curious decision-making & chance. Lots of shout outs to friends and neighbors throughout, which may yet lead to future conversations.

there's a phrase cameron says at the end of this clip that risked breaking me and michael permanently. i could feel each of us trying to hold onto the railing for fear of spiraling away, off of the earth, forever

Come learn about our weapon histories with this week's SHELVED BY GENRE Bonus Ep on the 1986 classic HIGHLANDER: www.patreon.com/rangedtouch/...

CMRN coining the phrases "9/11 Pride Eagle" and "bird finger" across less then ten minutes of the Highlander Bonusode on Shelved by Genre had me genuinely wheezing

spent basically all day confirming that my next birthday gift to the internet is going to be another nonfiction zine, which i think is the first time in 16 years its gonna be the exact same format? ive been doing this for too long

oh drake's posting 1.8m view videos about this. cant imagine why.

i genuinely love Miranda Lambert's music & dig a decent amount of post-Kacey Musgraves pop country and this is to me is a pretty decent version of that but like. when was it ever "i listen to anything but country" rather than "i listen to everything but rap and country"

it's nice that american pop culture isn't necessarily a global megaphone any more. for example, we were once all forced to know what a kid rock was, but are I think mostly (and thankfully) unaware of this cia plant white power anthem or whatever it is

This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.

Robin James @robinjames.bsky.social · 2w ago

This is correct and when I call songs like "Ordinary" and "Choosin Texas" slop this is more what I mean than any claim they were produced by AI in order for music to sit in the background it can't create any friction with settled expectations (settled expectations=one type of whiteness as property)

Roland Meyer@bildoperationen.bsky.social · 2w ago

AI #slopaganda is not so much about fakes or disinformation. It's about aligning the world with your preformulated descriptions of it, making reality disappear behind its formulaic image, rendering visible all your fears at once in order to enjoy them more. It's a technology of fascist daydreaming
