a grey view of grant part and the lake michigan shoreline on a day with low clouds
the same view but now absolutely covered with fog rolling in off the lake
just watched lake michigan disappear before my very eyes in the span of about fifteen minutes
a very misty view of the chicago river in downtown
unironically one of my favorite kinds of chicago weather
thanks!!
this isnโt just like a youtube video thing btw. this is my undergrad thesis film and is gonna be screened at the gene siskel film center in downtown chicago. extremely excited (and a bit nervous!) to get something i made projected on the big screen
before people get confused: the previous one i posted about here was something i was only the cinematographer for, this will be written/directed/produced by me
trying not to get too ahead of myself because itโs still in pre-production but my directorial debut short film is in the works right now and iโm very excited about it. no idea if itโs something my audience here would care much about, but i really hope some of you will watch it!!
update: sometime last night my discord server transcended past merely posting random numbers and began making tiddlywinks into an entire fucking religion. iโm watching a cult form before my very eyes
#tiddlywinks Azrael: 7 rei: 7 Stephanie Daedalus: not a big enough number Azrael: 5^^8 Stephanie Daedalus: Leave the tiddlywinks channel please. Your numbers are not big enough DanseMacabre: 1 rei: 4 Stephanie Daedalus: Kys. Get out DanseMacabre: 0
my discord server has a channel called "tiddlywinks" that technically is based on the real game of the same name but has evolved so far past what tiddlywinks actually is that it's completely incomprehensible to outsiders at this point
woke up this morning burning with rage. nuremberg trials 2 would not be enough at this point. fuck this genocidal fascist imperial regime and fuck anyone who isnโt immediately outraged at shit like innocent schoolchildren in iran and civilians across the middle east getting bombed
i would never post obvious bait
new bit idea: run for alderwoman and send out a bunch of election mail that only says stuff like โemily north has NEVER summoned a demonic entity,โ โemily north will NEVER engage in anthropophagy,โ โif elected i promise to breath air every single day,โ etc

just watched paris, texas (1984) for the first time and iโm pretty sure if you tried to make a movie with colors like this in 2026 hollywood would just shoot you on the spot. the fact that they only had a budget of $1.5 million blows my mind
the cta purple line crossing isabella
i love my chungus ass rapid transit system with street crossings. itโs so funny
somewhere along the line things went catastrophically wrong and now the future is being written by people who think reading books is a waste of time and music only serves the purposes of providing energy and focus
this is the mindset of the people being given tens of millions to develop the useless ai tools that pervade silicon valley and quite frankly i think we should all be existentially horrified by it
a friend of mine recently turned me on to this incredible article about the bleak state of the ai tech world and the robin hood-esque escapades of one guy on twitter and now i must share it with all of you because itโs the best reporting iโve read in a while

added a blacklight to the space under my loft bed and now it looks like when a video game has an important intractable object
iโm gonna throw out a hot take here and say i donโt think the bears indiana stadium is gonna actually happen
iโm gonna be back in nyc in a bit over 3 weeks. who wants to hang out
no itโs on fat tuesday

the john hancock center under construction around 1968 as seen from north avenue beach
the sears tower and aon center under construction in 1973
sometimes i think about what it mustโve been like to live in chicago from 1969-1973 and see 3 of the top 5 tallest buildings in the world at the time completed in a 4 year span right next to each other
baldurโs gate 3 is a dystopia because it shows a world in which everyone is forced to be british
photo of the famous opening eye shot playing on a crt
after much trial and error i have determined the correct way to watch blade runner is to play the directorโs cut on laserdisc on a crt piled with a bunch of other miscellaneous 1980s tech equipment

for everyone who moved to chicago in the last few years from somewhere warm and is experiencing an extended period of harsh winter weather for the first time: lots of thin layers trap warm air between them and will keep you warmer than one thick puffy coat. layer properly!!
aaaaa a friend just gifted me a set of metal dice themed to my characterโฆ iโm obsessed
