I have had a criterion channel account for about 5-6 years now. It’s my favorite streaming service due to the endless amount of incredible films its houses. I haven’t used it for some time due to being busy but haven’t cancelled it because (not exaggerating) there’s like 20 or so friends, maybe more, who use my account regularly. From filmmaker friends to cinephiles, it’s nice knowing they put it to good use and it feels great to provide that access since I’m able.
Funny story — I saw my ex recently and she mentioned that her new roommate (who used to date my friend) were sitting down to watch a movie together.
They turned on the tv and logged into criterion channel to find it was on MY account, so even after the breakup, my friend’s ex has access to watch great films, which I’m cool with haha!
I‘m a big supporter of criterion but not everyone can afford it so highly recommend sharing logins where you can!

my roomie bought me a two month subscription for criterion channel as a secret santa gift. it’s such a perfect way to kill all my holiday free time and something nice that i wouldn’t normally want to pay for myself

it’s so nice when you go to watch a movie and a random friend from 6 months ago is still logged in

this is hands down the best subscription i have. $11 a month, zero ads, collections curated by real people instead of ai, and so many amazing movies. if you care about film you should have this subscription. if you have to, use it to replace hulu or netflix or disney+ or whatever other multi-billion dollar streaming platform that keeps jacking up the prices while implementing ads simultaneously. they don't deserve your money anyway.

Been off this app lately cuz ive been busy opening an art gallery in my hometown (San Diego) called Deixis Gallery! Been such a wonderful experience so far. It’s so beautiful to see how community comes together to help with every step along the way. Friends came by and helped paint, do construction, a friend of mine built us some benches from scratch, and a bunch of amazing artists participated in the inaugural exhibition. So hyped, truly recommend. And shout out to allstnyc for the encouragement back when I first posted an ask about opening a gallery! 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿also if you find yourself in San Diego, make sure to stop by! @deixisgallery

I got an IG follow and message last night from a girl I knew in MIDDLE school (12+ yrs ago).
I haven’t talked to or seen her since then, but she’d often pop up in my mind, the last time being just a few days ago. All I remember is that I used to enjoy talking to her.
the first thing she said in her message was that for some reason, she’d think about me often, and also, for no particular reason… we barely knew each other back then
So, we decided we’re gonna hang out soon - don’t know why, but it just feels right. 🔮

Spent a month in a cabin in a rural town in Washington state and fell in love. Spent my days gardening, writing, cooking, working out with logs and trees, just living the most simple life. Being back in a city makes me sick to my stomach now and capitalistic 🤮. It sucks.
