Ready for Spring πΈ
Really enjoyed watching Neo Sora's "HappyEnd" (2024), set in near-future Tokyo that resembles USA, 2026. High cinema shots, fun adolescent angst, irresistible score & poignant questions about right now. Currently streaming on Criterion.

Day 6, post-op after fractured scapula from slip & fall on icy patch this winter.
Rainy snow outside, indoors & dry w/ this little guy. The snuggle is real.
Itβs a great one, agreed! Loving all the pre-code B&W Hollywood this month.

Really enjoyed reading RED CLAY SUZIE by @jeffreydlofton.bsky.social. This is #queer smalltown #Southern #literature at its finest. Heartrending at times, the sunny realizations, small dramas & pops of joy illustrate the inner life of a gay youth navigating self-discovery in the Deep South. #books
