worked as a broadway ticket hawker in times square for 5 hours, was REALLY good at it, but it was a “you choose your schedule just let us know when you wanna come in” kinda job and i had terrible unmedicated anxiety so i just never messaged them again to schedule another shift

every time i reread the haunting of hill house a different thing stands out to me. last time it was the dudleys being ghosts and this time half my notes say "is this book kinda oedipal or is that just me"

convinced my psych to up my depression meds so lets hope that gives me energy to do more than one (1) thing per day again. and perhaps even energy to post more often

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

The show is good but I have no idea why it was given the title The Haunting of Hill House. It has nothing to do with book at any level: in plot, in theme, in vibe, even in setting.

kaylee rowena 🫀@kayleerowena.com

it bugs me especially with hill house because that's a book about 1. the expectations put on women of being a caretaker for a family that hates them before being their own person 2. being a lonely 30-something year old who's never had her own life and importantly 3. deeply repressed lesbianism

and i don't hate flanagan's hill house when i view it as a completely separate entity unrelated to the book, but putting it next to the book it feels like the real horror is how badly a man can misinterpret Horror About Womanhood. anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk

seeing things about his carrie adaptation (and thinking about his hill house as i reread) and becoming more and more convinced that he's some kind of rightwing psyop. surely no one could write all this stuff and think it's actually a good adaptation that understands the original texts right. right,

kaylee rowena 🫀
@kayleerowena.com

genuinely i don't understand why flanagan is so committed to making horror content when he seems to fundamentally hate the genre. he's allergic to making anything end on a note that's not as saccharine as possible. happy endings for everyone with their nuclear families. only pulled punches here

figured out a pattern to use for the main part of my halloween costume, took 3 trains to buy fabric, and found fabric for every part of the costume EXCEPT the bit i have a pattern for. cmonnnnn

@kayleerowena.com

admittedly if i went to a real fabric store and not the creative reuse thrift store i might be able to find a wider selection of what i need but in my defense it wouldn’t be like $2/yd at a real fabric store

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

i had a conversation earlier about what to charge for commercial commissions that reminded me i had a calculator for that sitting around in my google drive, so i've edited that into a template and tossed it on my ko-fi for PWYW! ko-fi.com/s/bc6f316116
