Poll because I'm curious as to how everyone is consuming/rewatching so much media when I watch maybe a season of 2 different series per year and maybe 2 podcast episodes per month and can't find time for anything else. What are you doing.

I'm realising the reason I don't consume very much media is probably because I cannot for the life of me multitask and if I want to watch or listen to something then I am locking the fuck in. Besties am I alone in this

A lot of fantasy goes with Tolkien explanation of fantasy racism being the result of ancestral grudge.

Then you got Dungeon Meshi which is like:

"Elves and Dwarves hate each other because their respective empires make up 2/3 of the imperial core and are stuck in a cold war as the planet runs out of uncolonized land to grab. Elves are able to live in pastoral paradise because they've horded most of the settings farm-able land and natural capital, displacing and mass murdering any natives in the process. Orcs and goblins are hostile to other races because there the primary targets of an ongoing slavery and genocide campaign. The dividing line between human and inhuman is arbitrarily assigned via a phrenological pseudo-science that quickly falls apart when questioned by anyone who wasn't indoctrinated into it since birth."

Both Ella and Amber are working on this beautiful game! It's a cosy point and click mystery game about Sherlock Holmes in retirement. It's queer and gentle and you might recognise a few familiar podcast voices in there, including Tobias who plays Dai in Camlann!

Ella cast and directed the game, and Amber is working on the sound and design. It's written, designed and illustrated by Helen Greetham. You'll be able to buy it on Steam and Itch later this year!

OUT NOW!!!!

You can now purchase this indie, queer game on Steam and Itch. Please consider throwing a tenner our way and supporting all the incredible independent creators who lent their talent to this project.

Directed by Ella Watts, sound designed by Amber Devereux, written, illustrated and developed by Helen Greetham aka Jabbage, and starring an incredible voice cast including:

Here are all the live petitions for trans rights at the moment (+1 non-binary one that came up in the search):

FUCK...... Fawx & Stallion lures you in with charmingly ridiculous plot hooks, takes you off your guard with goofy puns and cartoony anachronisms, and then hits you with maybe the BEST character writing you've heard all year, as part of a rapid-fire series of scenes in which every detail of the entire season is revealed to have been building up an intricate web of character mirrors and emotional parallels and I am LOSING MY MIND OVER IT

No actually I'm not done. This part will be more spoilery so behind a cut it goes:

Truly never in a million years imagined people would be engaging with the text of our little show to this degree, or even willing to stay with us past the silly jokes. Overwhelmed in the best way, not a Madge-Stallion-with-the-press way. We really hope you love the last two episodes, detective!

Salt gobs!!! I love their rumpus and mayhem 💚

A Note on Watches

part 1 / part 2 / part 3

was watching Conclave with my friend and being a watch nerd, he notes:

Lawrence

Lawrence was wearing something like an Orient Bambino (possibly passed down). Watches like that are from the eighties.

Clearly, it's not embellished, and worn over time. A used Orient Bambino exudes decorum without being flashy. Pragmatic and cultured.

__________________________________________________

Bellini

Bellini's watch was quite simple as well.

Potentially an Omega De Ville or more likely a classic Seiko Dolce. Also an old model, implying that he's worn it for some time.

(Apparently, the Omega De Ville doesn't have the same angles) Regardless, people who opt for tank faces (square watches) tend to be ambitious. Simultaneously, they want to project humility.

'He's been doing all the right things to get what he wants,' says my friend. 'He's been curating his image.'

Benitez

Benitez's Casio f-91w is a functional watch.

'It exists just to do its job,' says my friend (Nate). 'No fanfare. It tells time and like [Benitez's] character, it's not trying to show up anybody. It just does its job.'

Considering this Casio costs 12 TIMES less than Bellini's Seiko Dolce, you might think this is a humble watch.

But it's not even that. It's an 'I exist' watch.

I think Visser Three would like the "To shreds, you say?" meme. I think he would say that all the time.

You seat a table of three for breakfast and the woman says hmm yes I will have a loaded waffle tower please and you say ma'am that's a children's item and she says so and you say okay fine and the man who brought a whole laptop in says ah, I will have what the lady is having and an orange soda and you say for breakfast and he says of course and then the guy who is clearly a criminal says what kind of bread do you use for your French toast and you say ... White and he says can I sub brioche and you say we don't have brioche and he sighs and says I'll get the rooty tooty... Whatever the cowboy omelette and the other two start razzing him about being a cowboy and when you come to check up on them the woman is playing airplane with the loaded waffle tower trying to get the criminal to eat it and they tip $200 and your watch has been replaced with a better watch
