Okay my neurodiverse friends. The time is now… Show me your favorite spoon.

Had an eye-opening realization yesterday about something that had been bugging me for YEARS. Story time 🧵

Now, years later, I can look back on it and really pick it apart. I wasn’t soft, weak, or incapable. Just a guy whose brain functioned a little differently. My professor viewed that as a failure.

At the end of the day, the reason for all this is to reassure people that you’re not broken for not understanding. Folks have different needs when learning, and that’s normal. So if it’s for little you or you now, you deserve to learn the way you learn best, which includes giving grace 💜

Had an eye-opening realization yesterday about something that had been bugging me for YEARS. Story time 🧵

I’ve spent upwards of a decade thinking back on how that made me feel, but none of my inability to retain the information was because of my lack of trying. He made me feel that I was incapable, which isn’t true. I’m able to learn. I’ve learned a great many things.

I know throwing around the word ‘ableism’ sometimes feels like pointing fingers, but I genuinely feel putting those PDFs in front of me and telling me that was all I’d get from him was an obstacle my brain couldn’t work out.

Lately, I’ve been looking more into the possibility of having AuDHD. It’s been an ongoing journey of reframing how I organize my life, and it’s really brought past struggles into perspective. The way that professor ran his classes were hard for my brain to process, so it shut down.

The problem wasn’t not wanting to participate. I wanted the hands on experience. I wanted to practice. I wanted to LEARN. It was the class structure and the professor’s insistence that if you couldn’t handle the way he ran his class, then you were the weakest link.

Other students in the class who were struggling sat together to explain questions on the midterm, as if the midterm itself was a study guide for the final. Somehow, I passed the final. I can’t remember how I did it, but I did it. His question still haunted me. Did I want to be there?

Short answer: Yes. I wanted to make films. I wanted to tell stories. I wanted to craft whimsy and magic and capture it to share. Why did he think that if he made it so hard to learn and participate?

Had an eye-opening realization yesterday about something that had been bugging me for YEARS. Story time 🧵

Students who were vocal got to direct. Students who understood the PDFs got to light. The rest got to watch. I failed my midterm. He sat down with each student to grade our tests one-on-one. I watched him fail me. He then slid the test over, telling me that at this rate, I’d fail the final.

Eventually, I was fed up with it. I wasn’t learning, I read and re-read the PDFs, but nothing stuck. There were no opportunities for discussion or practical application. I ended up asking him to rent a second camera for class so I could sit in a corner and walk through the manual on my own.

“You don’t participate, you don’t put any effort in… be honest, do you think you can survive in this industry?” This is coming from a professor that didn’t teach. He had us bring in flash drives on day one to drop a file folder full of PDFs for us to read the entire two semesters we took his class

The tests contained information pulled from those PDFs. In class, we barely discussed them. He assumed we retained the information, and could immediately apply it. This was a practical film class of maybe 10 students. There was also only one camera. Students who were quick got to handle it.

I had a professor in college that was incredibly harsh. The moment in question happened while we were standing on a NYC sidewalk. We were just outside the school’s main building, and he was smoking a cigarette. I forget the lead up, but he asked me, “Do you even want to be here?”

Something that I’m starting to accept about myself is that I have to put eldritch abominations and creepy port towns in all my games, writing projects, and aesthetic inspo boards. This is just something I’m going to need for the rest of my life, and I’m okay with that.

Really random thought, but am I the only one who remembers when McDonalds used to have game consoles at some of their locations with a game that featured Mickey Mouse in a bedroom of some kind? Does anyone know what that game was? It comes to me in a dream every now and again 👀

In fact AEW prioritizes the wrestling so little over the emotions/stories, that even when wrestling they're using the wrestling to tell stories. You just don't need to have 2 hours of yapping and 25 minutes of wrestling on a 4 hour show to achieve storytelling excellence lol

✨ Kato Garrigues (He/She) ✨ COMMS OPEN@kgarriguesart.bsky.social

I will never be able to understand people who say that AEW drastically empathizes in-ring wrestling over storylines/characters/emotional investment. It sounds like someone who watched AEW in like, 2022 or 2023 and just assumes that's what it's always been and always will be.

Went to water aerobics in the rain only for it to still be raining when I came out. I guess there really was no use drying off afterwards, huh 😭

It’s simultaneously a blessing and a curse to have people and events near you that you’re excited for. The FOMO is real when you have to choose what to do when things overlap though 😭 Can’t I do everything and be everywhere? Time and space? So disrespectful.

For my #TTRPG friends who have created their own games: I put together a homebrew game a LONG time ago and want to revisit it with clearer rules. Are there any systems you’d recommend? I know PBtA is a pretty safe bet, but are there others that you’ve enjoyed working with?

Messing around with Procreate, happy with the result. Some spooky Orlok sketching.

It’s taken me years to fully enjoy horror (mainly psychological), but I decided to take the plunge and watch a wider variety of horror and thriller this season. So I’m making a thread of what I watched, and if I’d recommend it! SPOILER FREE! Come get your heebies jeebied! 🧵

Nosferatu (2024) I’m a simp for muted colors, so the style was up my alley. A traditional vampire film and remake that feels intimately unsettling. However, it felt a little slow in places, and felt more like a chance to play in the environment than tell the story since it’s well known.

Friday the 13th (1980) I HAD to watch the original, especially since it's a classic. For something so tame compared to today's horror, I loved it. It was a simple premise that was executed well. I also knew nothing about the twist. Great watch, and can't wait to see the others.

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will. "I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself." automaton-media.com/en/news/fina...

Trick ‘r Treat (2007) I love a good single storyline with branching perspectives, especially when each storyline is its own rollercoaster. Definitely a classically-styled horror movie that’s definitely dated in terms of subject. I personally think the evil is justified in this one.

The Lighthouse (2019) Another one on my list strictly for atmosphere and aesthetic. I appreciated how simple the story was. It made it easy to see where things were headed, which gave little details a place to shine. Queer monster fuckers of the ocean variety (like myself) had a good time.

Men (2022) I don’t know why I originally pressed play. I also don’t know why I kept watching. The intrigue had me for the first half as I started noticing what things were off about the town. Then… the second half happened. Then… it ended. All I can say is “What in the fuck…?”

The Cabin in the Woods (2011) Had this on my watch list, and didn’t know what to expect. It felt more like a slasher sci-fi thriller, which is wild to me. Also INCREDIBLY self-aware at times, which was refreshing. Very fun to see this take on a ‘Young People in a Creepy Cabin’ story.

Sinners (2025) Not a film about vampires, but a film WITH vampires. There’s a huge focus on the importance of music, particularly in the history of Black America. This film also includes a breathtaking moment of timelessness brought together by music, culture, and community. Highly recommend!
