I was grumpy about Oscars noms this week because so many of the movies are bleh, but I looked up what movies were released in 2022 and realized it was a generally bleh year. what I think was objectively the best movie of 2022 was All the Beauty and the Bloodshed. I am a changed person. also fun and ...

hello!!! we need that favicon back, too!

finally starting Severance!

noooo!! I'm so sorry, yourfriendclaire . for us holdouts, it's so trippy when our time is finally up. I've cycled through years worth of emotions in the past 3 weeks. practically speaking, here's what got me through my bout: https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/mucinex-free-from-cold-and-flu-day-night-...

infopetal

noooo! I am wishing you a speedy recovery, @m o l l y.

in the end, I was in rough shape for about 5 days, and then just finished the additional 5 days of isolation. not even sure I want to go back out into the world in its current state, real collapse of society vibes this week…

thank you for the sweet words, @yourfriendclaire. <3 I do take some comfort in that I think the odds I could have passed it on are super small. this virus ends here! right now it feels like a particularly rough strep throat/sinus infection combo.

infopetal

well, covid got me. feeling very sad to have made my world so small and tried SO hard to avoid it, and all for naught.

they work for me now, @joni! (just had to summon the code again from deep memory)

infopetal

yes, @yourfriendclaire, definitely see the overlap of Gibson's "Jackpot" with the transapocalypse!

what's everyone's go-to opening wordle word(s)? my first is "diary," and if there are no matching letters in my first guess (I play hard mode), I follow with "mouse." all the vowels covered, the letter "s," and a strategic "y" within two guesses!

infopetal

ok we are all set! welcome @shakeypea! <3

@yourfriendclaire, I first heard the term listening to a recording of the unfortunately-titled NYT article This Isn’t the California I Married , where it is attributed to Alex Steffen. here's some snippets from Steffen's essay The Transapocalyptic Now : A transapocalypse is a spectrum. Some parts of...

I know we are a little sleepy these days, but is it possible to invite someone new? if so, how? it looks like registration is disabled.

infopetal

I didn't read the book but had an eye on its synopsis as I worked through the series. it's hard to imagine the same story without what I would consider the central relationship of the adaptation (Kirsten and Jeevan obviously!), but I've heard that it stays fairly true to the emotional themes of the ...

dream job? Garden hermits or ornamental hermits were hermits encouraged to live in purpose-built hermitages, follies, grottoes, or rockeries on the estates of wealthy landowners, primarily during the 18th century. Such hermits would be encouraged to dress like druids and remain permanently on site, ...

infopetal

was a little behind you on Station Eleven, @yourfriendclaire, but I finally just finished and want to hear your thoughts!

also hiding a spoiler in white text: [did you put together that Alex was Rose's daughter born at the department store? there are a lot of cool easter eggs that indicate it!]

after 20 months of working safely from home :-) at a job that was crushing my soul :-(, I am starting a new, partially in-person job next Monday that I hope will crush my soul a little bit less. I am feeling a bit of trepidation about the return to in-person but I'm hopeful it will be better for my ...

infopetal

noooooooooooo! I really felt your pain reading this story. but happy belated birthday dear Claire!! <3 I am confident your evening with Oscar will come soon.

re: Ronee Blakley/My Idaho Home, I wasn't sure so fired up trusty Wikipedia and here's what it says: That same year, Blakley appeared in what may be her most widely known performance in Nashville. Her character, Barbara Jean, looked similar to country star Loretta Lynn, though Blakley stated that th...

not a deep cut by any means but I had the Nashville soundtrack on constant rotation two winters ago, my fave song on it:

was just profoundly moved by language lessons even tho it's kinda cringe? maybe that's why it was so affecting? life itself is pretty cringe.

infopetal

Halt and Catch Fire is one of my all time faves BUT I initially gave up on it after the first season left me cold. years later someone encouraged me to pick up season 2 and the rest of the series is transcendent, particularly once the friendship @yourfriendclaire mentioned was introduced. mentioning...

infopetal

wow, tres chic!!

infopetal

the Sparks songs are excellent but the plot was too indulgent and histrionic for me personally, especially as a chaser to the similarly dark/cynical/murderous White Lotus. why are my eyeballs so often having to watch Adam Driver play a complete misogynistic asshole? I feel like he is actually a kind...

infopetal

ooo the gardana clogs are beautiful! I keep returning to these because they make me happy but I'm also unlikely to wear them away from home thus they can retain exclusive terrace clog status: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71n0FQi0fLS._AC_SR500,200_.jpg what is UP with crocs right now?! recentl...

infopetal

I have recently upgraded from an apartment with no outdoor space to my own personal terrace! thus a very important question…what footwear is everyone rocking for their gardening? I feel like I need terrace clogs.

new official stamp of the Dismantle Mail Club?

infopetal

thank you for encapsulating the appeal of John Reynolds, @yourfriendclaire. he IS a tall plain loaf of bread, with the perfect wire framed glasses and a dementedly familiar level of disaffection. another one in this neighborhood of my crush brain is Paul Rudd, who is probably my most mainstream cele...

wahhh I had a meeting at that time! hope there's more soon~

infopetal

I am trying to feel empathy and compassion for the people that have seemingly repressed the past 15 months, but it's hard. not only is it feeling like structural change is elusive but even that collective sense of humanity and care is rapidly deteriorating. here in NYC I've seen so much cruel behavi...

infopetal

awww this sounds so sweet! I think I will be 9–5ing but what time did you land on?

infopetal

just had an ol' fashioned binge of hacks and enjoyed it. I agree with @meadows that the side characters have all the best line, i.e. Marcus's mom and boyfriend (aka water cop). there is enough good in the show I would say to stick it out for some of the catharsis that comes later in the season, but ...

infopetal

I'm still here! feeling like quar made me even more intense and prone to spontaneous crying, how is everyone not totally traumatized 24/7? like our government really left us to die and now we go to restaurants again? as a penance for my dour thoughts… https://www.tiktok.com/@sabrinatangg/video/69695...

I've never heard it called disco popcorn but love to dump reese's pieces into a bucket'o'corn! another U.K. delicacy is getting "crisps" for the table at the pub, splitting open the bag to make a little plate, and then pour a bag of (preferably dry roasted) peanuts on top and mix together....
