This movie is absolutely gut-wrenching. It tells the true story of two girls developing a strong relationship to the point where their parents think it's unhealthy and obsessive. It stars Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet, and it's their acting debuts! Additionally, it's directed by Peter Jackson. If you're looking for a queer movie to cry to, here it is. I like to describe it as Dead Poets Society for lesbians.

I had never heard of this film until the other day, despite it coming out in 2004, starring Nicole Kidman, who is sporting the chicest of pixie cuts, and having an aesthetic/tone/vibe that lights up all my pleasure centres (shot in NYC, grey/pink colour palette, opens on a long tracking shot set to intense classical music).
I think the reason I hadn't heard about the film was because it was so marred in controversy at the time of release because of its subject matter. Without giving too much away, Nicole's character is a widow who meets a 10-year-old boy who tells her he is her dead husband. People were up in arms about the idea of adult Nicole potentially being in love with a child. That said, all the criticism felt like it was coming from people who had heard about the plot rather than actually having seen the film, which just so happens to be a soulful, sensitive and intelligent meditation on grief and love.
Watch it, I beg of you!

Snails are completely overlooked. They're known for being slimy little bugs that eject goo, when they're actually fascinating creatures. For example, they have thousands of teeth on their tongue! If you have a fish tank, adopt a few snails for it. They love eating all the gunk, and they're super cute in doing so. #StartAppreciatingSnails2025

Why is it that some of my best writing occurs at 2 am when all I can hear are the crickets outside?! There's this rush of motivation, and then the writing turns out better than anything you write while fully awake. I think I'm getting possessed.
