dani's january 2026 media recap
good morning gamers!
inspired by my friend and mentor, matthew r.f. baloušek, i'm using Bear Blog to keep/maintain a personal blog!
this past month has felt like a brutal century. there has been so much awful bullshit happening nationally and internationally that it's been a little overwhelming to even glance at news headlines. i've been doing my best to stop myself from engaging in doomscrolling, and that has largely meant that i've been reading and watching stuff when i'm not working (especially with some of my course material prep this quarter necessarily engaging with the specific ways in which shit is fucked in the united states).
so, here's what i've been reading and watching!
books
- The Archive Undying by Emma Mieko Candon
- Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, Vol. 1 by Jinushi
- Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
- This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
- Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Vol. 1 by Kanehito Yamada
movies
- Wake Up Dead Man
- Mickey 17
- Superman
shows
- Fullmetal Alchemist (S1E1-4)
- True Detective (S2E8; S3E1-8; S4E1-6)
- Jentry Chau vs the Underworld (S1E1-4)
- Andor (S1E1-8)
- Man on the Inside (S1E1-2)
- Devil May Cry (S1E1)
i'm hoping to make this media recap a monthly thing, but i cannot promise anything at the moment. i'd also love to yap about my thoughts on these pieces of media, so maybe this blog will have some of that down the road!
good night gamers <3
