i don't care if you like it.

Well, it’s invoicing day, and since they’re really apparently not going to pay me for something I wrote for them two months ago, I guess today is the day to post about how @vulture.com fucks over its film freelancers. Long (sorry) thread, with receipts:

There are 118 feature films, plus galas, talks, podcast recordings, and more at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. Our guide to the movies and events worth lining up for.

I’m sharing this while crying but Rebecca is dying of early onset Alzheimer’s and her last day is Saturday. She’s not a rich woman, and is a single mom, and it would be really cool if we could finish this for her. gofund.me/226c58e98

Our buddy @bjcolangelo.bsky.social needs a little help from her friends (and I'm a bully). BJ needs what is, essentially, a full mouth replacement thanks to cancer radiation. We can't eliminate the dental trauma, but we can help with the life-altering debt. www.gofundme.com/f/bj-needs-a...

I am a VERY newly annointed single mum and the circumstances leading to this newfound status have been really ugly - deeply unpleasant, upsetting and destabilising. If you've ever enjoyed my books, blu-ray work or horror documentaries, now is the time to help a sister out!

My 2026 has been a divorce-shaped Stygian nightmare of housing insecurity, drifting between Airbnbs, couchsurfing + housesitting. But the goddess just blessed me with my own tiny apartment! I need to move/furnish it for myself + kid almost from scratch: a humble call for help if you can to do so!

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

It’s Father’s Day and maybe some of you do not have a dad in your life for one reason or another. And maybe of that group, some of you need to learn how to shave. Never learned, new to you, been doing it wrong, whatever. So today I will be your dad, and I’m going to teach you to shave.

So, this has been a pretty tough year. I've been out of work for more than 5 months, and the situation is pretty dire. If you could please take a look at this for a moment, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

i feel like every time i mention kratom to someone they have no idea what it is. my sister started using it after kicking fentanyl. it acts on the same receptors in the brain as opioids. the withdrawals are basically the same. and it's in like every gas station and corner store.

SCOOP from @by-cjewett.bsky.social & me: Markwayne Mullin urged the Department of Health and Human Service to remove warnings from the FDA website about the health risks of the gas station drug kratom. Mullin owns equity in a leading kratom company called Botanic Tonics that could have benefited.
