Hello Bluesky! Allow me to reintroduce myself…my name is Jeff, he/him, 33 years old.

INTERESTS: video games, anime/manga, television, movies, Chicago sports, Liverpool Football Club, left-leaning politics, and that’s all I can think of right now. I’ll PROBABLY follow back.

Picture of me standing in a comic shop, I’m wearing a NASA trucker hat and a black t-shirt with a Monkey D. Luffy wanted poster from the anime “One Piece.”

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

A little boy holds a handmade sign with hearts glued to it. It reads, “leave my friends ALONE Donald Trump”. He’s bravely protesting at the No Kings Evanston protest.

The best thing about James Bond is even the bad movies are at least entertaining. boxd.it/bnd2IF

A ★★½ review of The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)

I hope Christopher Lee saw a chiropractor after filming for carrying this movie on his back. The great thing about Bond movies is they’re all entertaining, even the shitty ones like this movie. For so...

The second James Bond film to make me cry. I knew that ending was coming and I still wasn’t ready for it. boxd.it/bmZztl

A ★★★★½ review of On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)

Growing up, I had seen every single Bond film EXCEPT this one! I think it’s a mixture of my dad’s preference for Sean Connery and never being able to catch it on tv whenever they had Bond marathons on...

I was prepared for Roe. For years I was prepared for Roe falling. I was not prepared for “the 14th and 15th Amendments preclude enforcing the Voting Rights Act because it’s anti-white discrimination.”

Any white grievance you have? SCOTUS is here for you.

But Black people? We can go fuck ourselves.

I’ve been on a Bond kick lately, so I’m gonna start posting my reviews on here, starting with this. Coincidentally, it’s the first Bond film I ever watched as a child. boxd.it/bmZcYZ

A ★★★½ review of You Only Live Twice (1967)

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: this was the first Bond film I ever watched, when my dad—a massive Bond fan—first rented it on VHS all those years ago. It was from this movie, my love of all ...

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.
