Rough notes on Mario Bava, Inland Empire, unconscious connectivity, the mouth of hell, male rage, narrating in thrall, not finding your voice

In a desire to blog more freely, I’m going to start posting more frequent (hopefully nearly daily) updates of 3-5x things that have been on my mind, that I’ve been working on or consuming, that I need to get off my chest, or etc.

To this point, I’ve been using Substack like a column of sorts, but what I miss most about blogspot days, and even certain eras of what Twitter used to be, is the off-the-cuffness of a more personal reporting, allowing some air into the too often headline-driven media we all get eye-fucked with on the daily.

I intend to keep this looser style of post for paid subscribers only, both for the privacy and so I don’t feel the urge to edit and assess myself on a broad scale. I miss freedom.
