Remember what I said a few weeks ago about the slow start to the year where most of us were out in the middle of the lake in a paddleboat with only one flapper? Well have no fear, thereβs no need to paddle back to familiar shores. A whirlpool opened up and sucked my fair boat into the void and reformatted all its attendant electrons and quarks until out popped the other side a spaceship. It seems to have at least two working rudders. I donβt totally trust I know how to steer it yet, but Iβm sure itβs fine.
So hello, everyone. Good to meet you. How are you doing in this almost-February?
I know weβre almost ready to do *the Thing* even though Iβm not sure entirely what said Thing is just yet. In any case, we need this weekβs internet harvest to feed our inspiration. Onwards.
look
[music] This will do your heart and soul an enormous amount of good. I present the inimitable Bengsons. They are SO CUTE together! <3
[sillies] In this weeksβ mewsletter (sorry) we see courage and cowardice play out their fates with balls and beige carpet.
[art] Ultra Ulrika brings the heat with her interpretation of the dakini. Is that Kaliβs skull necklace I spy with my little eye?
[film] You know when you lived at the beach for three months and let your cast iron pots get totally savaged by the salt air? You need a *really* good scrubber to get them clean. Thatβs what this show is like for the rust we built up in the pandemia. Iβve been slowly making my way through the show Maniac. It has one of the most in depth portrayals of psychosis and grief Iβve ever seen.
[also film] In the same categoryβ¦ I canβt miss mentioning Undone. It had to be animated to be able to show how reality bends. Just. So. Good.

On that light note (lol) Iβll wish you a beautiful Friday and happy weekend, friends.
Besos,
