For real 🫠 I think the stress I feel from going almost cancels out the good it does lol. But I guess it’s responsible or whatever… so go us?
Taking myself to all the doctors this month like a big brave girl. I fucking hate it.

I did not know juggling multiple perspectives was so high up the grade scale 🫠 I wonder if this is why there are so many "I only read 1st person" BookToks as those are almost always single-perspective narratives.

"I Am An AI Hater" by Anthony Moser is a celebratory & definitive reference which refutes every pro-AI argument that any AI-humper has ever voiced anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
Wrote about one of my favorite horror anthology movies for its anniversary: NIGHTMARES (1983). If you enjoy short tales in the vein of AMAZING STORIES and DARKROOM, give this one a watch.

Thinking about how the great Barbara Ehrenreich nailed one of the primary problems with modern journalism a full decade ago. “The real face of journalism today: not million dollar-a-year anchorpersons, but low-wage workers and downwardly spiraling professionals…“ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Seeing JAWS in IMAX was truly magical 🥰 I love movies so much, man. And watching one of my favorite movies ever in a theater full of other people who love it makes me love people a lil more, too.
It is fantastic! So well done.
She has deserved to be the main character for so long! I’m glad she finally is. And Charlie Gillespie was a great surprise; that scene where he played the piano and sang for Suze was so poignant.
It’s truly such a feel-good movie though
💛💛
Thank you 🥹 Doing something consistently even once a month has been a stretch for me lol
Sending all the healing vibes! ✨💕💛

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:
We are outside, but… it’s still not cool, man.

So can we stop pretending GenAI is a viable replacement for therapy now? Jfc.

They're scared of sidewalk chalk
I’ve reached the end of another Broad City rewatch :(
a reminder
This film means a ton to me, and I got to write about it for @dailygrindhouse.bsky.social seven years ago: dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/want...
Counterpoint. George R. R. Martin should purposely not finish these books and have a stipulation in his will that no one else can do so after he dies.
The time to download, install, and start using VPNs is now, before your local government bans them and your ISP accordingly prevents you from downloading the software you need to make it work.
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
Breaking news: A federal judge is giving Florida 60 days to clear out the immigrant detention facility called Alligator Alcatraz. The ruling forbids state officials from moving any other migrants there.
When I heard @davidehrlich.bsky.social was doing SALÒ day I mentioned in passing this used to be the holy grail of DVDs in the aughts. He wanted me to write about this phenomenon (sure!) and told me I had to watch SALÒ (um, what?) www.indiewire.com/features/gen...
An artist for real
That Patick Bateman was based on Tom Cruise. I love it, lol.
😂😂
💯😂
Ps I was listening to your podcast about OLD today! I rewatched it just to be sure, and I so agree with you on everything 😂
💯 Ugh we need to hang out so bad, truly
As a teen I would’ve been at least one of the last to die (total virginal rule-follower), but as an adult I am surely the girl in the bedroom smoking after sex and getting offed before she even realizes half her friends have already been murdered…
So true
me if I were in a horror movie
That looks amazing
Okay so this never happens to you huh??!
Sometimes I get stuck on Pinterest looking at moodily composed pictures of hot people and I truly cannot get out.

Improve your life, watch FEMME
Omg it’s so good. I want it on DVD so bad but I don’t think it’s released in the U.S.?
Worth remembering that Terence Stamp was the son of a ship's stoker. Stamp desperately wanted to act, after falling in love with movies as a kid, and it was a scholarship to Drama School that allowed him to walk that path. Every time arts cuts are made, they rob us of more Terence Stamps.
New My Favorite F***ing Movie is out and it’s all about MEN 😱 And boys. And girls. And pie. Read it: myfavoritefnmovie.substack.com/p/shadowboxi...
To weigh in on the AI art usage debate. I don't think not being able to do art is a disability, mainly because of how many disabled artists there are. A lot.
Real talk (reel talk?): BWDR recently lost a partnership that covered nearly half our operating budget, so things are suddenly very tough. If what we do has ever meant something to you, or you’ve ever thought about subscribing, now’s the time—it *truly* makes a difference.
That sounds so ominous!! 😅 I need to make peace with this beast.
I burned my thumb really bad on my hair straightener last night, and frankly at this age I thought I was past all that.

A GAME IN YELLOW is out today! 💛 Join Carmen, Blanca, and Smoke as the hunt to spice things up in the bedroom takes a maddening turn when the cursed play The King in Yellow becomes a misused toy in my queer erotic cosmic horror, new from @sagapressbooks.bsky.social 🎉 As always, make horror gay AF!
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.
