spending spring break in San Jose so I went to Cinequest, and it was just really nice. small theater but such a cool vibe. If you get the change to check out a film festival I super recommend it! (Not just Cinequest but man there were some good movies)

it takes you to the coolest parts of town and they always got the nicest staffs and you get to watch cool films
bonus: hearing people who are passionate about films calling films “pictures” it just does something to my heart!!

When I was in my early 20s I worked at a video store called Limelight - the kind of place that had every Takashi Miike movie ever (including his children’s movies) but kept their lights on by stocking 5 copies of Pride and Prejudice. After that, I was lucky enough to get a K********a invite which allowed me to torrent deep cuts by Olivier Assayas, and prized .mp4s of Cameron Jamie’s movies. Maybe I just didn’t like leaving the house but I don’t think that 2005 - 2015 were great years to be going to the theater anyway. When I moved back to Vancouver I didn’t know many people so my sister suggested I volunteer at The Cinematheque, and it’s become one of my favorite places in the city. It’s basically got a lot of the same programming as The Metrograph minus a lot of the annoying pretensions of arthouse theaters that are… annoying. The Cinematheque even went through a redesign and it looks even better than it did before which never happens. Volunteers get to see whatever for free so sometimes I find myself there 4 times a week. Some of the most memorable screenings include Maborosi, The White Sheik, Even Dwarves Started Small, Caught By Night, Gun Crazy, and Out Of The Blue.

At my local indie cinema for a projection of the new Nosferatu, infinitely grateful I have a place like this I can go to see new stuff and incredible programming!

Someone mentioned being able to reduce the site's motion, and that's 100%—but I also think changing text font/size, overriding profile themes (basically making every single page on the site show in the theme you chose for your profile and the base site only), things like that. I need high contrast and some of the themes hurt my eyes.

I'm studying insects because I love them and they bring me GREAT JOY and they're the most numerous and diverse animal group on the planet. Did you know that there is a fly that mimics bees and it is a pollinator just as important as bees. Did you know mosquitoes are pollinators. Did you know there's a millipede that grows moss on its back. The world is beautiful

Saw in theaters, great movie! of course, Bong Joon-ho is a great director and Parasite being one of my favourite movies of all time, it wasn't anywhere near his best to me. it was actually a little bit over the top and chaotic, and I think it would be annoying to some because it does get kind of quippy. But I still think it had a lot of interesting commentary on imperialism and colonization, paired with some classic economic and class issue viewpoints (every movie of his I've seen seems to touch on it at least somewhat). so I recommend it! If anything it definitely got a lot of laughs out of me (and the little alien creatures are so cute oh my goddd)
