[community profile] goreswap has been revealed! I wrote a pinch hit and had a blast. 

I should have taken my own advice (Yellowjackets, Van & Lottie, TW for cannibalism, and canon facial wounds. Spoilers for season 1.)

We started watching Our Flag Means Death, because sometimes it doesn't suck to just ride an internet fad, and I VERY LOVE SOME OF THESE LIL BUDDIES. Is anyone else watching American Song Contest? It is very bad but filling the lead up to Eurovision nicely.

  • Claimed a [community profile] goreswap pinch hit, so I'll be working on that this weekend. There are several lingering pinches, so if you are so inclined, consider looking.
  • We finished Yellowjackets. The last two episodes took a turn that is simultaneously what I wanted and very, very much not. I'm confused by the characterization we're supposed to embrace, and hoping that season 2 can course correct a little. Still, it is mostly very good! Well, Juliette Lewis is overdramatic and ridiculous, but her character is too, so that mostly works.
  • We're now watching Station Eleven, which I realize is a personal failing as neither of us has read the book. It is... confusing? There is a LOT happening.
  • I have an office now, yay!
  • I got tickets for MUNA when they come here. Their new video, "Anyone But Me," continues to solidify their place in the queer canon. I hope Ally Pankiw directs their videos forever.

We're over halfway through Yellowjackets season one, and I have to say, if you watched the trailers and thought "well, this might be my thing, but I'm not sure" I am here to tell you that it very much is your thing. Melanie Lynskey is absolutely magnetic, and I love many of these damaged bubble babies. My only complaint so far is that it frequently doesn't go quite hard enough. I am looking forward to that in season two, though!

Other new starts are Call the Midwife and Clone Wars. Turns out I really love traumatic birth, and there are worse things to pass the time. 

Phoebe Bridgers is touring again and against all logic and budgeting (especially with gas up) I bought a ticket to a venue 5-6 hours away. Thankfully a friend halfway between agreed to let me crash, but I'm very much still going, what are you thinking
