thanks for the tag @finalrestingplace!!
Last song: since the later question is kind of the same thing, the last song I listened to last night before bed was- ah shit it's the same album. well: Right Where It Belongs off With Teeth by NIN
Last movie: the Minions movie with a buddy earlier today lol. I haven't been watching as much recently because I haven't really been able to do much of anything, and it's been kinda crushing trying to get back into analysis and finding my headspace simply isn't there. an evacuation alarm went off right as the end credits started though, that was the most exciting part :)
Currently watching: The Karate Kid (1984) (for the past five days) and The Boys s3/BCS s6/The Umbrella Academy s3 (to keep myself occupied while I wait for the other two to finish airing)
Currently reading: hmm okay quite a few. I've just been making slow progress because I don't want to lose chapters to my memory loss rn lmao. Matthew Arnold's poetry, House of Leaves, the Sherlock Holmes novels, a book on music theory, Gribbin's The History of Western Science, The Sparrow (!!!!), and more recently a few academic readings I found on my university's library site
Currently listening to: With Teeth!!!!!!! by Nine Inch Nails. slowly growing on me as a possible third favourite album, given I've already listened to Downward Spiral and The Fragile dozens of times. before that I was revisiting The Front Bottom's debut
Current obsession: Nine Inch Nails, The Boys and BCS, browsing for new earrings, and uhhhhh learning new linguistics theory ahead of starting my uni classes
Tagging @littlegoldfinchh @therideofthevalkyries @mossymagicks @sleebyidiot @dawn-reaper and anyone else who wants to respond :)

Congratulations, game. You really did subvert my initial expectations with the really-not-all-that-horny vampire and the totally sensible weed Dad figure and Mr. Gale "I'm totally into the fact you haven't taken in a bath in 2 weeks and I read a book about about being turned on by deadly danger and let's have astral projection 4-way sex with only 2 people in outer space and you look good jogging around the city in strappy bondage gear" Dekarios.
Not complaining. I was just surprised, that's all. I love having my expectations subverted.

god I'm so fucking furious at the removal of Te Reo Māori names from organisations around Aotearoa. it's a complete non-issue, every organisation has the English name directly underneath the Māori name. I have never once as an English speaker been unable to understand what an organisation is for. Winston Peters, the Deputy Prime Minister, who is literally Māori himself, said “Te Papa is a historic name but tell me this waka kotahi, how many boats have you seen going down the road?”. Waka does not just mean canoe. it means vessel, and waka kotahi (the transport agency of Aotearoa) explains this VERY SIMPLY on their official website. waka kotahi means to travel together as one. Can you see how fucking upsetting this is. A Māori person in power who is in agreement about banning his own language, being so cocky about something that he does not even understand due to the suppression of the language of his people. It makes me sick. I've seen reports from Māori people all over Aotearoa speaking out about how upset and furious they are, how decades of progress have been undone in the fight to restore the rights of their people who have for so long been oppressed and have suffered the effects of colonisation. Please share this if you can, I hate knowing how few people will hear about this, I know there is so much injustice in the world right now and it is so exhausting, I know. I love you all, keep it up.
