For the longest time I felt like if I started a book, I had to finish it. Who knows why, it's not like the author will find out. So, in the last year or so, I've started to just *put the book down* if I'm not enjoying it and release myself from any guilt / weird feelings, and start a different book. I've read more books since I've started to mark books "did not finish" and move on. If you like short fiction, I love Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine, and if you like short, heart wrenching memoir I love The Sarah Book by Scott McClanahan

if yr ever in atlanta for an extended period of time, check out videodrome, our only video rental store in the city ! they have an really cool collection of international, arthouse, independent, and mainstream films (currently im going through abbas kiarostami’s filmography)
there’s something so refreshing about seeking out and consuming media without the influence of the internet, away from algorithms that tell you what yr supposed to like—it’s nice to browse around and take the ownership of yr own art consumption back in yr own hands

Pretty sick, went with a friend and it was very funny. $14 Movie Theater IPAs were hitting in a fantastic way. Then we went to see the second half of the Knicks game in some dive in the Village. It was a great time, stumbled on the escalator in front of strangers.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

Not the watered down version to save the other person’s feelings. Not half of what you feel. Not the version that you know makes other people more comfortable. Not the version you wish was true. What you actually fucking feel. Terrifying! I know!

What more do I need to say!? I have so many weird match strikers in my eBay watchlist, you're now going to benefit from seeing them. I never thought the $148 he costs was in my budget, but a girl can dream! Wouldn't he look fun sitting on top of a pile of special books? Bonus: this guy has a chipped antenna, acting as a reminder that none of us need to be perfect to be loved.
