A ★★ review of Primate (2025) Boy, have I been slacking on this year’s movies. It’s actually kind of sad… anyway—Primate is a semi-fun creature feature that occasionally gets under your skin, for better and worse. The practical ef...

So this is 4️⃣0️⃣

It’s been 10 days, but I’m still grateful to everyone who took the time to wish me a happy birthday. A lot has changed lately, some of it good, some of it not, and there’s a strange heaviness in realizing half my life is already behind me. I’m not sure how I feel about any of it yet.
