Overwhelmed with gratitude to the one and only @sezindevikoehler.bsky.social for citing my work so extensively in her book Much Ado About Keanu! I absolutely cannot wait to dive into this and so, so humbled to be a part of it.
Thank you and congratulations Sezín! ❤️#Academicsky #KeanuReeves

My presentation for the Popular Culture Association went great! I had a fabulous panel member and super engaged audience. I went from doubting I could do it and nearly canceling to killing it. ❤️

Schedule I is the single most addictive indie game I've played this side of Stardew Valley. It is also a one-man passion project, funneling years of work into the gameplay, atmosphere, and music to create a fully realized world that is easy to enter and hard to master.

I'm not lying when I say the season 7 premiere of Game Changers on #DropoutTV is the most insane (semi-ethical) hour of TV I've ever seen. I was gagged from start to finish and while trying to explain it to a friend they just replied, "That's legal?"

Mark (innie) and Helly, specifically, are the best straight couple in all of TV, ever, and I stand by that.

#Novocaine (2025) is a charming film with maybe one too many denouements, but the charisma of the fish-out-of-water Jack Quaid more than makes up for it. I haven't had this much fun watching a revenge plot since John Wick kicked it.

I am not saying you're stupid. I am saying that explicitly, according to the showrunners and the actors, that was Helly. And she explicitly told Mark to go with Gemma ("I am her"), but did not fight him when he chose to go with her over Gemma, and her pushing him out, killing him, would be cruel.

#Severance spoiler:
Innie Mark did more for Gemma than outie Mark would ever have done for Helly.
Innie Mark spent the entire season searching for Gemma/Ms. Casey because he saw her as an innocent who deserves to be saved. He found her, at great risk and cost, and saved her.

But . . . she did encourage Mark to go. And he chose to stay.

Once again, I am humbled by the privilege of being transgender.
The unbreakable trans and GNC community connects me to the best of humankind, and it is our grace that transphobes hate and envy. Our lives are predicated on shared care and empathy: theirs is predicated on shared hate and fear.
