There is something really satisfying about the non-addictive quality of the website version. Recently I’ve deleted most apps off of my phone and decided to use the website version. It gives me an excuse to go on my laptop and get some of that pre-social media nostalgia experience before things were so accessible. I love that I’m inclined to quit the browser after completing what I intended to do rather than mindlessly scrolling forever and experiencing targeted ads. It reminds me of a time when the internet was still a wild place full of discovery rather than an endless consumption machine.

If you like going to the movies and have a selection of AMCs near you it’s an unbelievably good deal. Even at my most destitute I have refused to cancel this membership because it’s basically a free activity anytime and a fun little date with myself. 3 movies a week for $25/month??? I will never shut up about this.

lecinemaclub.com posts a free new movie to stream on their website every Friday. so good. It gives me the joy that early Mubi days did. Extremely limited content, hand-picked, and available for a short time.
I also love their online journal, especially the filmmaker's film lists. Everyone from Lynne Ramsay, Jonah Hill, John Carpenter, Dasha Nekrasova, Wim Wenders, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Alex Garland, talk about 5 films they love in a short sweet and aesthetically pleasing list format.

I just watched this documentary on Hipgnosis, the art studio behind some of the most iconic album covers in rock history. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Wings, and countless others. It’s amazing how they created the covers without computers and photoshop. Truly magical and inspiring and made me want to make art ✨

A favorite artist of mine had a solo show in a gallery and I was extremely excited to attend, having only seen the work digitally. The artist posted a story offering to come to the gallery and give folks a talk about the artwork, all you had to do was send a DM. A little nervously, and maybe one wine in, I messaged him to say I’d love to take him up on the offer. And he said yes! We scheduled the time and met at the gallery for an in-depth tour of the artwork, his process, inspirations, and associations with the work. A deeply inspiring and personal experience that I’m so glad I got to have.
Maybe think about taking people up on their offers from a stick of gum, to a ride to the airport, to the last slice of cake. It feels really good to receive.
