  • Movie: Ant-Man

    Rating: Better and more entertaining than Thor 2 and Age of Ultron. Not as good as The Winter Soldier.  Details: The nth installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe introduces the Ant-Man, both the first ever to bear the name, genius scientist Dr. Hank Pym (played by Michael Douglas) and his successor, the-crook-with-a-heart-of-gold Scott Lang (Paul Rudd). The movie focuses…

  • i’ve been thinking lately (on language, 1984 and the ‘bakla’)

    I’ve been thinking more and more lately about language, and specifically their role in the formation of ideas and the creation of avenues of discourse. This won’t be a cohesive opinion, because I just want this out of my chest. I’ve been thinking too much. In Orwell’s 1984, the idea of crimethink (which exists in vernacular as thoughtcrime)…

  • time off

    I’ve been spending the last few days watching Justice League animated movies, episode clips and YouTube videos. And rewatching ATLA for the hundredth time. And sleeping, eating, working out. Painting. Anyway. Look what I found.

  • Botticelli’s women are always beautiful.

  • #LoveWins: Love is more than just a word.

    People should be careful with their language. Words have power, and meaning transcends what is written. When religious conservatives write their reaction posts on social media, do they mean “I do not support same-sex marriage –in the context of my religion” or “I do not support same-sex marriage –on the level of the secular state”? Because…

  • casual pursuits: a lazy art+productivity post

    Sometimes you’ve got no direction, nothing to send your love to. What comes out may be shit and disorderly, but at least it’s yours. x x x i fell in love with a man named matilda; he had flowers in his hair and thorns on his lips; oh, oh, i fell in love with a…
