put it down as a self employed / freelance endeavor that simply was not sufficiently profitable.

it’s so… glossy. genuinely beautiful shading and highlights. but can you imagine spending time zoomed in on that crotch to get the knuckle sheen just right?

1. FROM (got hooked during the second season. third season is being filmed now. feels reminiscent of LOST but with darker undertones. so far, a frustratingly few answers have been provided, but i’m really rooting for this mystery series. rich characters, great performances and a plot that leaves you trying to figure it all out for days after.)

2. The Killing (surprisingly intelligent cop drama with excellent character dev and great tension)

3. The Terror (first season - based off the 1845 arctic voyage in search of a viable northern passage shipping route and the ship’s subsequent abandonment after getting by stuck in the ice. the end jumps the shark a bit but the acting is excellent. the concept, environment and mood throughout is captivating.)

4. Nathan For You (loved The Rehearsal and The Curse too, but i don’t think he will ever top NFY. plus, he graduated with really good grades)

5. Mrs. Davis (a lucid acid trip down modernized mythology)

6. On Becoming a God in Central Florida (brilliant satire)

7. 12 Monkeys (2015 series. vibrant, gritty sci-fi)

8. The Bridge (original Danish version)

9. River (cerebral detective drama starring Stellan Skarsgard)

10. Waco / The Aftermath (absolutely love Michael Shannon in this respectful retelling of a highly controversial series of events that had a profound impact on american society)

11. The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (hard to watch but such an important story. feels like a love letter from past to future generations)

forgot to include:

  • The Chosen One (2023. subpar reviews but unique, cinematic and worth the watch imo)
  • Midnight Mass
  • Midnight Gospel
  • The Jinx (an unexpected season 2 is now in production)

thank you. i really should have picked that up by the “send flowers” upsell. can you imagine? in a unlikely set of circumstances, the additional option to have said flowers delivered could trigger a rather unfortunate infinite loop.

i think it’s tricky to get a blanket reading because autism can look so dramatically different from one person to the next. i was diagnosed last year (AuDHD) and have since been learning how varied autism can be across different demographics and comorbidities. when i’m stressed, overworked, and/or overloaded, i tend to withdraw to trigger my hyperfocus. a recent new hire in my department who is pretty clearly also autistic has been driving me nuts because when he is stressed, overworked and overloaded, he tends to try to control everything around him with a hyperfocus on what everyone else is doing, instead of focusing on his own work. to the NT’s in the group, i doubt they would think to put him and myself in the same category.

i fucking hate this. i’ve not so lucidly clicked the idea together before that world leaders would and have prolonged conflict, suffering and death abroad for meager and ephemeral political points back home. what a disaster we are as a species.

that hair is weirding me out. thin, receding hairline in the front yet solid black on the side? must be using the same stylist as giuliani.

might be more fair to say “women in the US are becoming less inclined to support a dumpster fire like the self-identified modern Conservative Party”.
