Hey y'all, this interview is a really important look at what trans protesters are facing, especially when the cops haul them off to jail on allegations like...writing "trans rights are human rights" in chalk.

it's so real. i'm from montana and one of the local legends of my city was a drunken, short-tempered, extremely devout irish catholic woman who owned every brothel in town and tried to kill her rivals with dynamite.

the sheer settler decadence of the intermountain west is actually cartoonish lmao.

yea lyn and i were just talking abt this recently too with regard to TTYD's writing and how recent nintendo stuff has been that much more afraid to create any kind of friction w/ the player, even when it'd be enriching to do so

YKK, mushishi, natsume yuujinchou, silver spoon, etc. all of these things are "cozy" but none of them forego tension or pathos or negative feelings.

the uniquely sanitized "frog simulator" type stuff is not in conversation with these works. it overlaps far more with corporate memphis aesthetics.

there seems to be an assumption that SOL and iyashikei stuff entails a foregoing of any conflict or emotional tension whatsoever, when really it's just a reframing of tension on a microcosmic level. the level of interpersonality and the minutia of life instead of pure world-ending stakes.

the thing about "cozy media" is that, contrary to many ppl's assumptions, "cozy" and "conflict-free" are not synonymous

this text has been endlessly important to me and my own healing process. i think everyone should read it and take what they can from it.

i really hope the destroyed east wing becomes the defining image of the current era. the auto-cannibalization of a revered national monument is a perfect symbol for an empire in terminal self-induced decline

learning anything in any amount is enriching for its own sake. read however many pages you can of whatever books interest you regardless if you finish them all or not.

it's really funny how much my state's accent lends itself to puppygirl speak (pronouncing "roof" as "ruff" and "bag" as "beg")
