Last night's movie was Frankenhooker (1990). Goofy, sleezy fun, I need to see the rest of this guy's movies. Big Tammy and the Trex energy

i think i have ascended to the kind of pessimist who no longer says 'everything is terrible'. now i say 'things aren't so bad, here's how they could be much, much worse'

It's so stupid. Also really frustrating that so many surgeons for top surgery want multiple letters from psychs when they're cosmetic surgery centers and almost certainly don't require that for breast enlargement or whatever. Even the cash only places.

I'm hoping I might at least be able to use this angle to get it covered by insurance (since one outpatient surgery is a lot cheaper than cancer treatment) but it's good to have cash options I can fall back on.

I'd always been told grandma died of lung cancer because she smoked like a chimney. No, it was breast cancer that spread to her lungs. Just like my mom's cancer has. I found out about this THIRD HAND from a conversation my husband had with my dad. I don't know why the fuck I was lied to.

I was pretty ambivalent about top surgery. I don't mind my boobs, I even like them on occassion, and I knew getting surgery would be a giant pain in the ass. However, I found out not only did my mom get breast cancer that quickly spread to her lungs, HER mom had it as well.

Found two very useful resources for anyone looking for top surgery who is heavier and/or does not have a psych (both fit me):
www.transhealthcare.org/resources/re... list of surgeons and their bmi requirements!
www.topsurgery.net/surgeons/inf... list of doctors who use informed consent!

Think I had most of the best scenes of this long spoiled by those 100 Greatest Horror Moment specials.

I shouldn't exist or at least be around other humans. Applicable only to me

Zach Weinersmith @zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 4d

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

kilbaro @kilbaro.bsky.social · 2d

i'm really only content when i'm playing mindless games and watching mindless content, or working on my digital horde. outside of those flow states i'm reminded i shouldn't exist and feel shitty about it.

kilbaro @kilbaro.bsky.social · 2d

i regret every time i post something, reply to someone, say anything in a public chat. my last job was killing me but having one space where i'd managed to trick people into thinking i was good an likeable and useful was maybe helping me more than i realized. don't have that anywhere now

kilbaro @kilbaro.bsky.social · 2d

i wish i could wean myself off discord. hell, off here too. i'm really just a miserable negative bastard with nothing to offer. i wish i was at least funny or knowlegable or talented at something to at least somewhat compensate, but i ain't got that either.

kilbaro @kilbaro.bsky.social · 2d

that's bit more heartening then, i swear most of what i've seen about the protests is people taking selfies with their Funny Sign. i wonder if someone could sell premade signs on etsy to these people

kilbaro @kilbaro.bsky.social · 2d

won't have great internet access at my parents so i'm going to try to load up a drive full of all the fucked up stuff i wouldn't subject jae to. like all of the other hellraiser movies

kilbaro @kilbaro.bsky.social · 2d

the signs get more irritating every time this happens i think. like sure, i agree with the sentiment, but i blame the daily show for raising a generation of people to think quips accomplish anything

kilbaro @kilbaro.bsky.social · 2d

Tonight's movie was Hellraiser 3. I love the first two a lot and I knew that was the point after which the quality goes off a cliff, but 3 still had a lot of charm. Also the Lament Configuration is basically a pokeball

Last night's movie was Dracula (1992, Coppola). I kind of love Keanu's bad accent and there was more monster fucking than I expected. It was interesting to watch this after watching Eggar's Nosferatu and the game of telephone going on between every Dracula adaptation.

Yeah, that makes more sense, but it was fun to imagine a Children of Men scenario in bluey

kilbaro @kilbaro.bsky.social · 2d

bluey is on at this restaurant and all these dogs are only having like 1 surviving per litter. The infant mortality rate must be insane

Wikipedia is the best single thing the Internet has ever given us and it's not even close

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 3d

Two Wikipedia contributors averted a potential tragedy at a conference for the site’s editors on Friday in Manhattan when they jumped in to take down a man with a gun.

Wikipedia Volunteers Avert Tragedy by Taking Down Gunman at Conference

After the man walked onto the stage at the “Wiki World’s Fair” event and threatened to kill himself, witnesses said, two members of the audience jumped in to stop him.

Condemned myself to going down to my parents next week. I have this faint, probably insane fear that my dad's going to family annihilate us and that's why he wants me there so bad (he has talked about it in the past) but I'm also insane, so who knows

Tonight's movie. Underrated Zemeckis imo, how often do classy actresses get to do a bunch of physical comedy? I want more toxic immortal yuri

i keep trying to listen to Natural Snow Building's stuff and i THINK i like it but it also makes me sleepy and kind of just slides off my brain so i can't recall anything about it later
