Picked up RingFit Adventure again today, since it’s raining and I couldn’t go for a run. OK, maybe I should be doing this every day, damn. Dragaux gonna kill me, but what a way to go

Because of course we're catching up on TV this week, @ThePenDrake@twitter.com and I finished Stranger Things 3 last night. Solid season, definitely ended better than it started.

Ultimately, though, I'm fine leaving a lot of those tired 80s tropes back in that decade.

Well, it looks like I'll definitely be catching up on my writing and reading, so that's cool.

Rejoining because online spaces will be pretty great during this era of social isolation. I'll also be boosting verified info, ways folks can help, etc. etc.

@azure@pleroma.site FWIW, I approve of this tallness. But you already knew this. :P

Fictional Domestic Abuse, Trauma 

The Dragon and I saw "The Invisible Man" last night, and it's a pretty great movie. I don't think I've seen a movie that treats the simple idea of invisibility as straightforward terrifying -- "Hollow Man" tried to do it, and it didn't quite work. Leigh Whannel is an amazing horror writer, and I'm seriously impressed with his chops as a director.

Elizabeth Moss is typecast by now as the oppressed/abused yet defiant woman, but she is SO GOOD AT IT. The physicality in her performance is something special; she makes something as simple as a walk to the mailbox harrowing. But the very real experience of being trapped in an abusive relationship and having even well-meaning friends not believe you is its own kind of terror...having to bear that burden on your own is crushing, and I think the reason the movie works is that it works hard to show how hard this situation is so we can revel in the fact that the protagonist finds her way through it anyway.

It's quite intense, but if you're looking for good horror in the strain of "The Babadook" or "It Follows", this is worth a look.

I'm going to be absent on Twitter for a while, possibly months. You can find me on Mastodon (@jakebe), but I'll be deleting the app from my phone and giving up Tweetdeck.

Hopefully, I'll start blogging again -- I just like that better.

It's time for me to log off for a while. Probably the rest of the election. Because everything that happens next is entirely predictable, and this is going to be the worst place for it. 1/

Hey folks -- do you know if there is a "Tweetdeck" style app for Mastodon? I have different accounts on other instances, and it would be neat to access them all at once!
