The color grading of Obsession is so bad that it looks like they slapped an Instagram filter on the whole thing. Apparently no one else feels this way (based on searching reviews) to the extent that I’m like, “Did we somehow see a different version?!”

So many examples of this in art. Ones that stick with me are On The Road, Annie Hall, Rolling Stone in the 60’s. Just women editors making sense of creative mess.

I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

By the way, vis a vis Jimothy, I’m telling y’all right now I don’t need to know the lifespan of a raccoon, I don’t ever want to see an obituary. That little guy is gonna live forever, I don’t wanna hear otherwise.

Sometimes I’m like, “The Pacific Northwest isn’t a foreign country, you’re being dramatic,” and then the kids show up to summer camp and there are government employees with a dead fish and some paint to do a fun craft.

A large, dead fish on some newspaper. It’s sort of dark grey. Its eye is intact. It’s covered in red and green paint.A white bandana being held up by two pairs of gloved hands. On it is a print of the dead fish in red, blue, purple, and green. It’s weirdly beautiful. The giant fish is also there. It is, and I cannot emphasize this enough, incredibly grey and dead. And its eye is intact.

The organization that spam mails me to quit my union is on its most cynical argument yet. I keep the raises and the contract whether I pay dues or not, why not just not pay dues?

Ugh so overstimulated by my children, thank god they’re asleep now so I can scroll my camera roll and look at their stupidly cute faces until my eyeballs are so dry they fall out of my head.

Thank god someone summed up the whole library budget crisis—with clear calls to action—because it’s difficult to explain. (At least I find it to be.)

As someone who lives in a town serviced by TRL that’s been keeping up with these events, I want to give some further context on why this statement is being released now and what you can do about it if you live in the region. At the beginning of this year it was revealed to staff and patrons 1/11
