Burned deep into my brain, despite only being able to watch YTV one week a year when we visited my grandparents' farm.
Sadly, I am too broke this year 😔
staring at the screen, no ideas, the empty prompt window confronting you with your own mediocrity -- welcome to the work, chump, you loser.
Very much looking forward to reading it!
Totally, and that over-the-top-ness can mean there might be a performance of authenticity is so good it's enough to fool people into thinking something fake is real (This is Spinal Tap/I don't have an AP equivalent 😬)
I was writing about the construction of authenticity in the rockumentary genre, but I feel like the concepts could cross-over.
100% agree! And as a former communication/media scholar, all "authenticity" in media is constructed anyway and the act of buying in is absolutely one way to construct it!
But it's exclusively the apple ones.
That almost made my criterion challenge list for the year as my 1940s pick but I went with The Philadelphia Story instead. I'll add it to the watchlist!
I look forward to it!
I've been making a point of watching more classic (30s-60s) films so far this year. Send any screwball recs my way!
I too, would like to heist!

It is International Day of Women in Science! For this ocassion, a thread on influential women that illustrate prehistoric life🧵
Marta Szubert. Creator of one of the first to-scale feathered dinosar models (1997). If you've been to Poland or Slovakia, you've probably seen her models on display.
Left is legible to me. The right as well but required a significant amount of eye strain to focus on each word. (And if it matters, I don't normally write in cursive)
I can confirm she is real (but it might be a Jedi mind trick)
It's so much better here. Way less stress and much more authentic engagement!
Go play Leigh's games!

A hand holds up a New Jersey Web Fest award for Outstand Sci-Fi Actual Play (Podcast). In the background there is a collection of lego Star Wars sets.
Hand-delivered all the way from New Jersey! Thanks again to @njwebfest.bsky.social for the award and to @neddonovan.bsky.social and friends for helping it find its way safely across the border!
I'd be curious to know if anyone out there is creating AP/TTRPGs as part of an art-based research practice.
It’s incredibly easy to support trans people if you believe that everyone should have the same rights! I struggle to understand the mental gymnastics here!
It's already December, and all through the pod
Several creatures were stirring, each increasingly odd...
The first half of our holiday season Hogswatch special is out now on Patreon, and coming down the chimney to good little children everywhere next Wednesday!

Finally had time to sit down and draw my Rogue from the first campaign in a long time I'm not DMing.
Cìaran Greycastle is a Cillian Murphy lookalike and ex-spy who dances like Sam Rockwell when nobody is watching.
And @planetarcanapod.bsky.social inspires by setting the high water mark for artistry in TTRPG actual plays that are in some way connected to the Canadian Indie Music Scene™.
Along the same lines, @annethegnome.bsky.social also inspires me to think deeper about any number of topics surrounding AP and TTRPGs
@oneshotrpg.bsky.social's shows and books have made me think deeper about long-form storytelling through APs and how I incorporate improv into my own work/shows.
Also, through One Shot, I've been introduced to so many new games and creators just by listening
Do hard-boiled detective stories imply the existence of soft scrambled detective stories?
If you live in Vancouver, you should go see my friend's show this weekend!
