in kind of tremendous danger of becoming too important at my job lately...

i think my social circle is somewhat cosmically out of balance at the moment because it is mostly strava friends and not enough letterboxd friends

Filled with beautiful and haunting stories of ancestry, memory, labor, freedom, and more, this is the first Black Canadian SFF anthology, and hopefully not the last.
One day I'll remember how to post a newsletter at a time when people read their email but in my defence I am on a ship in the Pacific ocean & time is, among other things, a social construct from which I have been abstracted for the foreseeable future ANYWAY MY NEW BOOK IS OUT TODAY

i have given into the impulse (bought tickets for kyuhyun death note musical ๐ช) so for the next 4 weeks i need to marathon all of death note in order to be maximally insane about this series and reap the maximum emotional catharsis of my decisions
lol i feel this all the time when im trying to like, portray a character who is actually slightly wrong about the world either in logistics or if they're like in-universe unwoke ๐ and i worry often that people will think it's myโthe author'sโinconsistent worldbuilding
instead of buying me a pizza just get my book honestly
took an uber to work today because it is raining buckets and i am mildly ill and when i got in, the driver's phone chimed like "DESTINATION: CANCER CENTRE" and he very audibly Startled and i said, "don't worry i'm going to work" and he was like Oh Thank God
congratulations eugenia!!

oh man YES he also did this unhinged version of frankenstein someone out there kindly fansubbed that i have saved for a rainy afternoon :')
he's a long time favourite kpop idol guy turned musical actor (bc he is one of the rare ones who can Sing)........... he has been my dream cast for light for a while now ๐ญ
cho kyuhyun death note musical really something i have only ever Dreamed Of
sometimes a really specific brand of crazy hits you (a guy you like a lot stars in a musical you have wanted to see for years) and you find yourself feverishly googling round trip flights to seoul

With Canadian identity under attack by USA-based alt-right political forces, it's an important moment to celebrate things that are weirdly Canadian

oh man this is such a mood... tfw i simultaneously want to have the time to practice writing to see what works but also feeling the gap between what i can do and what i could do with more dedicated study...
congratulations!!

toxic femme lesbian light yagami is exactly the same but Worse. she's constructing elaborate murder plans to prove she's a cishet man but l insists that kira is a woman. she's got an inferiority/superiority complex about the patriarchy. she hates that she's obsessed with l's hands.
