The year is flying by. This week marked the tenth anniversary of my first book release. Which feels weird. And kind of sad. But summer is ending, and while I feel for the sunshine and heat lovers, I am trying to be hopeful that the cooler autumn temperatures will give me a little more energy.


K-Pop Demon Hunters: All the hype I've been seeing about this movie was right on the mark. Went in for the forbidden love and cool artstyle... came out crying about the themes of shame and hiding parts of yourself. The songs were fun and catchy, too. It's just really good. I already want to watch it again.


Kingdom Hearts: My Kingdom Hearts nostalgia has been so high this year between 2CPhoenix's excellent breakdowns of each Kingdom Hearts world and igobyGRAVEN's first playthrough. These videos/streams are giving me little capsules of joy in a time of stress. And I couldn't be more grateful.


Remap Radio: Been really getting back into podcasts lately, and this is another of my favorites. The mix of gaming and social issues appeals to me a lot. It only took a few episodes to get me to subscribe.


Music Favs: New World (Balligomingo), Recognize (Stephanie Schneiderman), Sapphire (Late Night Alumni), Stronger (Adaline), Dead End Thrills (Cubicolor), Far and Wide (Wildes), Another Light (Henry Green), Daggers & Knives (Woodes), This Land is Mine (Dido).
