Bookstack
I have made bookstack happen, finally. You are reading from that success right now, this very second. I'm not sure how, exactly. I just did things until it suddenly worked. That's only half true. I was following this guide which pulls a docker image from this ...
The Order
I saw this last night, December 17, 2024. An action/thriller based on true events. An FBI agent investigates a series of robberies which turns out to be organized by a neo-nazi group led by Bob Matthews (a real life figure). I was interested to see this becaus...
The Wizard of Oz
After watching the excellent Wicked, I just heard that they already made a sequel, The Wizard of Oz! I had to watch it immediately. But seriously, the Wizard of Oz was one of my favorite book series growing up. Yes, a series. There are so many. When I reread t...
Sonic 3 ★★☆☆☆ (and Sonic Adventure 2 ★★★★★)
I did not re-watch Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 before seeing Sonic the Hedgehog 3, so it's been a while since I've seen them. But I remember enjoying Sonic 1 as a fun but kind of forgettable jaunt and 2 as fairly mediocre. So my expectations of 3 were not very ...
Sonic Prime ★★★★☆
I think I just have to admit I love animated movies and shows something like 2x or 3x more than live action movies. It's easier for me to forgive their flaws, and honestly, I love looking at colorful things on screen. I watched Sonic Prime to get more of my Sh...
Last Exile ★★★★☆
The anime Last Exile from 2003 is good, I'd give it 4 stars out of 5. I came for the exciting dogfights, I stayed for the complex politics and commentary on war and power. The ending is maybe a bit cheaper than I would have liked, but I don't think they flubbe...
Defending Transgender People from Gender Binary Extremism and Restoring Psychological and Biological Truth to the People of the United States (DTPFGBEARPABTTTPOTUS)
Hi, hello, I'm your token trans* person on your feed. I want to talk about the executive order "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," or DWFGIEARBTTTFG as I like to call it for short. So catch...
The Trump Administration's Actions against Trans and Queer Folk
I'm already sick of this. But I can't stop thinking about maybe this one little thing I can do that someone online told me to do: witness what happens (maybe it was Angry Gay Grandpa on YouTube, I'll figure it out later). So here I will write out all the actio...
That's Not What Jesus Would Have Done
"That's not very Christlike!" I have often heard a version of this refrain leveled against Christians, especially more conservative Christians. Jesus said to care for the poor, why are you advocating against affordable housing? Jesus said to love your neighbor...
Rick and Morty Episode Ratings
I'm watching through the series, and just going to write down my personal ratings and thoughts for each episode Season Episode Title Rating (out of 5) Notes 1 1 Pilot 5 The start of it all, a must watch. Perfect pacing, love the cold open a...
A Court of Thorns and Roses ★★★☆☆
I just finished with the audiobook version of this. It was fine. I read a review just now complaining about some of the non-consensual sexuality contained in it, and while accurate, it's not like I wasn't expecting that in a book that I knew going into was a r...
Rick and Morty ★★★★☆
I just rewatched all of Rick and Morty in anticipation of season 8 coming out some time in 2025. I've been a huge fan of the show since it was first released, but I remembered season 5 and 6 being a disappointment. However, I also remembered season 7 as being ...
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie ★★★☆☆
I didn't hear about this movie until I saw it listed at my local theater. Did they spend no money whatsoever on promoting it? The Day the Earth Blew Up has phenomenal animation, taking me back to watching those classic Looney Tunes cartoons as a kid. The anima...
Black Bag ★★★★☆
One way that I gauge my interest in a movie is by how often I think about the time or how long the movie is. During this movie, I do think I checked the time once, but I was fairly well engaged the whole time. Part of that is due to the movie's relatively shor...
Ash ★★★☆☆
Ash is a sci-fi horror movie that leans more on horror than sci-fi. When I watch sci-fi, I want to think about how future technology might impact our humanity, identities, or lives while also commenting on the current state of the world. That's not what I got ...
Rule Breakers ★★☆☆☆
Rule Breakers is a film by Angel Studios, which is based in Utah. Maybe you can guess what kind of studio they are. I previously watched the movie Homestead by the studio, and even though I have major issues with the film, I actually thought that Homestead, th...
In the Lost Lands ★★★★☆
This was not a good movie. It was too dark (visually, not thematically), I laughed out loud at some of the clunky dialogue, the setting made little sense, and the characters weren't all that interesting. I looked at my watch halfway through surprised that the ...
Self Care
Last week at a peer conference called Peerpocalyse, a speaker asked an audience of peer support workers if we were donating to the non-profits we are working for. I know therapists and social workers who work overtime with no pay to finish their documentation....
Mission: Impossible ★★★★☆
There were a lot of movies that I wasn't allowed to see as a child. This wasn't one of them. I saw this when I was young enough both to not question the silly gadgets that barely make sense, and to not understand the meaning of them. Why does Ethan Hunt have a...
M:i-2 ★★★☆☆
In the first Mission Impossible movie, Ethan Hunt stops his teammate Krieger from killing a CIA security guard who discovers them in the middle of their operation. "Zero body count," he demands, showing that compared to his adversaries, who don't show any hesi...
