I think that’s why I like this app / PI in general. It’s all about sharing things or ideas you love and lifting them up with the community. Bad vibes can see themselves out!

Trying to just vibe in a fun little website community without the policing on how others use the website

Well, it was nice while it lasted, at least.

THEBRUTALIST & NOSFERATU

Watching these two films this week has really pulled me out of a funk and reminded me of the type of work I wanna put out. Film is not just content and algorithms, it is living and breathing through the efforts of bold and daring artists.

Her Body and other parties

by Carmen Maria Machado is a collection of short stories that really got me back into a reading kick. My fav is the one set during a pandemic and a woman documenting a series of hookups and how each one differs from the other as a virus slowly consumes society. Would recommend

THE HOUSE IS BURNING (an Excerpt)

Hi there! I'm new to playwriting and got rejected from four comps that I submitted too this year (whatever im new to this shit). So I figure ima mess around n post it on new sm. Still a WIP but I thought I'd see what it'd look like on a platform like this. This is a family drama with shades of horror about two sisters reconnecting after the death of their mom. SCENE 4. CLAYBOURNE Morning. Over breakfast. Hannah and Jasmine are playing a hand game in the style of lemonade or something. Different lyrics though. Boxes everywhere. JASMINE & HANNAH How many shrimps do you have to eat. Before you make your skin turn pink. Eat too much and you’ll get sick. Shrimps are pretty rich. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Jasmine messes up. JASMINE FUCK. Hannah flicks her on the forehead. JASMINE OW. HANNAH So what now. JASMINE The basement. We’ll need a game plan for that because there’s a lot down there. HANNAH Is there? JASMINE Like a lot a lot.. I don’t even know where mom got most of that stuff. HANNAH The woman loved to collect. JASMINE The heavy stuff will definitely require Tommy Boy and I think Scott said he’d come by today. HANNAH Ooooo Scotty boy- JASMINE -Please don’t. HANNAH How is he? JASMINE Fine. So i guess for now we can start packing the quilts, silverwares, collectibles and throw em in these two boxes now. HANNAH Bet. JASMINE Good. They start taking turns going up and down the stairs into the basement. Jasmine yawns. HANNAH You okay? JASMINE Yeah. Just trouble sleeping last night. HANNAH A lot on your mind? JASMINE I don’t know-- its nothing. HANNAH What? JASMINE I had this weird dream last night. HANNAH Oooo I have weird dreams all the time. JASMINE I dreamt that someone was breaking in but when I went to go check I didn’t see anyone except mom. HANNAH Finally dreaming about her? JASMINE And I had this long conversation with her about like wondering if I was like good enough or something. Or maybe it was about something I left at the office. But I thought it was strange that the house was like super cold like if it was the middle of February. HANNAH Weird. And no one uh broke in? JASMINE No. Everything looked fine when I woke up. You were already here making coffee. HANNAH I dreamt about her all the time when she was alive. And you. JASMINE Really? HANNAH Totally. I’ve had dreams of you guys watching over my funeral. I’ve dreamt of her calling me a failure and a waste. But she did that when she was alive too so. JASMINE What about after her death? Hannah shrugs. JASMINE What does that mean? HANNAH No. I mean most of my bad dreams happened when she was alive. JASMINE I uhm. I’m sorry I never really wrote. You know, during your whole. HANNAH You’re good. JASMINE Mom said I shouldn’t. HANNAH No I understand. I mean my fights with her probably didn’t help that. JASMINE What was it like? HANNAH Uhhhm. It’s very uh how you say prosaic. JASMINE Pro what? HANNAH Unromantic. JASMINE Wow look at you. HANNAH Its quiet. A lot of space. Lot of time to think if thats your thing. If you wanted to sneak stuff in you could usually find someone who knew how. I didn’t want to. I guess I just used that time to observe. I watched people go through detox, I watched people who said they were getting clean lie. I learned how to listen to people who had been through shit you and I will hopefully never experience. But I guess I came to understand that I wasn’t gonna get better until I let go of shame. The shame that mom put on me, the shame that you put on me. Most importantly my own self loathing. JASMINE I haven’t been a good sister have I? HANNAH I mean I’m no better. But uhm. I guess until we decide to make peace with that, it can’t get better? Something like that... JASMINE Fuck. Maybe we should go to therapy. HANNAH Yeah I don’t know how we avoided that for this long. Jasmine awkwardly goes in for a hug. HANNAH Oh. Okay. Sure. Why not. JASMINE I love having this time with you. She still hangs onto her. HANNAH I do too. Beat. So what happened exactly when you were working with mom? JASMINE I mean what’s to say. I got to experience her for who she was. A powerhouse businesswoman. She was incredible to watch. HANNAH What does that mean? JASMINE She was a real leader. People do what she says. She always had a strategy for every move. Her standards were high though. She liked to yell whenever people would like fumble. HANNAH She loved the sound of her own voice, huh? JASMINE But I guess I was sad because I felt like this was who she was all along and if that was her then who were growing up around this entire time. You know? HANNAH Do you think she was a fraud? JASMINE No. Of course not. Her team believed in every decision she made, good or bad. HANNAH No as a mom. JASMINE That doesn’t mean she didn’t care about us. HANNAH An underachieving addict and an overachieving daughter with low self-esteem doesn’t exactly quell those accusations. Beat. JASMINE I didn’t like the way she treated people underneath her. HANNAH I didn’t like the way she treated the staff at rehab when she dropped me off. JASMINE I didn’t like the way she made me follow her like some pet. HANNAH I didn’t like the way she made me feel for wanting to be different. JASMINE I didn’t like the way she never appreciated all the times I stayed late for her. HANNAH I didn’t like the way she pit us against each other. Hannah grabs a piece of the old china. She hands it to Jazz. HANNAH Do it. JASMINE What? HANNAH Fuck it. It’s not ours. Jasmine raises it. Actually. No. It is ours. We can do whatever we want. Jasmine raises it again and smashes it. JASMINE Woahhhh. HANNAH How’d that feel. JASMINE Good! Really good!
