Revisited these when babysitting my 7 year old half brother. He had never seen them, so I’ve been showing him a new one every night. God these are all such masterpieces and are films that I think grow a deeper understanding and appreciation with age. I am just so in awe of animation and those who dedicate their lives to mastering it.

My favorite work from Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli, as well as one of the first anime I watched when I was a kid and didn't even know what anime was (the first was Pokemon lol). The nostalgia is real but I connect with this film so much more in my late twenties.
When I think of Howl's Moving Castle, I think of love and just how life-changing it can be when you meet someone new who ends up being someone important and special. When people are positive influences on each other and they are for the better from having met and maintaining those bonds. Quite frankly, I live for this shit. This is ofc most evident between the two leads Howl and Sophie, but it's not exclusive to them.
I also think of just how goddamn beautiful and magical this movie is to watch, but that's pretty par for the course when it comes to Miyazaki/Ghibli :)

Only yesterday!, sweet comforting and nostalgic, the credits make me cry everytime I watch it. The thought of seeing your younger self in awe/curious/dubious about your adult self… as I child i was anxious about the adult I would become as I could not concieve any thoughts about adulthood. I wished as I child I could peek into my adulthood and see, I wanted to know what I events I would remember and wanted to become nostalgic about. Watchind the scene in Only yesterday the childish innocence of her young classmates watching her embark on an emotional journey she thought she would never take makes me cry everytime. the fascination in her younger face, being able to witness something her younger self could not yet emotionally comprehend, yet being intrigued all the more, makes me cry every TIME!!!!!!

Poet & songwriter best known as the frontman of “Silver Jews,“ and the lesser known “Purple Mountains,“ Berman has a way of exploring the beauty in the darker aspects of life. Berman tragically took his in 2019. He had such a special way with words both as a poet and a songwriter. My favorite song of his, “Famous Eyes” is linked above.

Founded in 1995, Broadcast was an English band that drew influences from 60s psychedelia, electronic, and experimental music. Following the death of their lead singer in 2011, Broadcast has found a new life and a cult following due to the mystery surrounding the band. I’ve linked my favorite album, Tender Buttons above.

Due to the involvement of the US Military Sponsoring SXSW, many bands and artists have opted to pull out of SXSW as protest for the ongoing genocide and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine. I’m very proud of my friends from Perfectly Imperfect and Baby’s All Right for dropping out of SXSW, and for standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Free Palestine 🍉
