When you are trying to write a shopping list and instead become a cat pillow…

My completed children

Look at her!!!

Look at my beautiful half made stool child that I am making! She’s stunning.

Anyway, just popping out for a stroll around Dove Lake to see if I can spot some wildlife before it becomes extinct while consoling myself that Albo will indeed stop sucking up to billionaires now he’s been given a rousing round of applause.

I do hope my friends in the US are paying attention to the Australian election and the clear message it sends: if you manage to throw off the shackles of Trumpism, you too may be rewarded with the abundance of milquetoast centrism.

I hope this election was a klaxon warning for the Greens: remember you are activists!

You've tried to evade the image of being wreckers, but look what slick appeasement did to the ALP – a workers' party that now stinks of boss

This rigged, rotten game fkn NEEDS wreckers right now

When you have to zoom out to fit breakfast in . . .

It literally started snowing as we arrived at our hotel. 🥰

Let’s goooooooooooooooo!

A suitcase lies open with 5 half-packed packing cubes in it. Various colourful clothes are visible inside the cubes.

Welp, this is starting to feel pretty real. . .

Why Hayao Miyazaki and David Lynch excel at dream logic And very few of their imitators do

I wrote a bit about the overlap between David Lynch and Hayao Miyazaki a few years ago. They understand how dreams make sense because they feel like they do, in a way few other filmmakers ever have. episodes.ghost.io/why-hayao-mi...

the culture made laura palmer into a punchline. lynch refused to. he burned his nineties reputation by making the movie everyone thought would be about Damn Fine Cherry Pie into a heartbreaking portrait of laura's abuse that still gave her agency. i will admire him until the end of my life for that

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

“Right here people might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of—or because of—his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn’t so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don’t think it was pain that made him so great—I think his painting brought him whatever happiness he had.” ― David Lynch

One of my favourite things anyone has ever said about art. You'll be missed, David. 🌹

We are literally supposed to have fun like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. Jot that down.

RIP to a real one

Small potatoes I know but I'm still mad that that slimy cunt basically inserted himself as the unofficial guardian of Pratchett's legacy
