I took this pic of my friend while we were out and about in the city. I can't say I hung out with friends much when I was still in high school so I really love that I've built myself up more as a sociable person :)

out of curiosity, what kind of camera/settings did you use for this? there's something kinda dreamy and teen coming of age movie about it which i love

ravioli I actually used the MotionCam app (with Pro subscription) on a Samsung S24 Ultra phone! I shot it in the Direct Log mode using the Sony S-Log 3 colour space (this was actually a screencap taken from a video clip!) I converted the Log colour space to Rec. 709 using a film emulation colour grade and I basically did light tweaks from there (I'm sorry if this sounds like gibberish 😭 It was very sunny so I think that added to that sort of dreamy effect you described!) If you use an Apple device I believe the 15 pro and onward have Log built in! Frankly I don't know much about traditional stills shooting though so I wouldn't know much about that except from a couple times I played around in Adobe Lightroom :(

ravioli Maybe the exorbitant amount of money I'm paying for my film degree is worth it actually 😭

Some former mutuals have recently expressed their interest in getting to know me and it’s made me feel really good about myself! one was a match on a dating app (😽) and one was a spontaneous invite to a group hang that has now blossomed into several other hangs both independently and in a group setting. It feels nice to have irl people say “hey i’d like to get to know you better,” especially since i made it a goal to seek intimacy and connection more this summer. ♥️♥️♥️

i saw three of my closest friends again today and just. god i love them so much. the worst part of adulthood is seeing your friends less - though hopefully when people have graduated and everyone's in the same city again it'll be better, it sucks knowing i'll never see them as often as i used to back in high school. dogpiling onto the common room couch to watch anime and lying in the sun during break and eating lunch together everyday and everything just being less high stakes? high school had its problems, don't get me wrong, but i think a part of me will always yearn for how much less lonely it was. so it was a delight as ever to get to hang out today, i found myself taking as many photos as i used to and there's something close friends will always manage to squeeze in your heart when you see them. love y'all so so much!!! we might not have another group hangout til next winter but i'll be counting the days <333333 ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝˚₊♡₊˚⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝

Kneecap was by far my favourite. Just an absolutely blistering first feature that is extremely fun starring the Irish language hip-hop group of the same name. Knew nothing about them going in, but it was electric watching it in the cinema even without much of an audience. The Irish language is so cool. In terms of "best"? I absolutely adore The Substance.

As the title suggests, Kanye was always one of my problematic faves but I think he's kinda became annoyingly problematic and comically evil to the point that he's lost me. I still listen to his old stuff though. I often don't realise how much I listen to it still until I see my last.fm stats. It's kind of undeniable that he's been one of the most influential people in hip-hop and wider pop culture for decades now, so it hurts more that he's gone so far down the deep end. One of these days I'll make my idea for a Kanye Broadway musical a reality. Trust me!
