Looking for recommendations! I am teaching a Horror and New Media course in the fall. It will cover a wide array of transmedial horror texts (film, television, video games, internet content, podcasts, etc.) Comment any materials you think I should include in my curriculum 💜
So we're all assigning Backrooms when teaching semiotics, yes?
Person on my bus had a tattoo of a ghost smoking from a bong. Hard to see other people living your dreams.
It's always nice when colleagues let me know when they see my work out in the wild.
Finally filed my taxes so that a bunch of billionaire sexual predators can do war crimes.

Overheard conversation between two teens on the bus: "Midsommar is hella good." "Yeah, A24 is goated."
I'm really enjoying the @arrowvideo.bsky.social Video Store series. The Criterion Closet for weirdos! youtu.be/boxhRcNPa0I?...

Navigating academia in this current moment is terrible (seriously, the job market is god awful and even worse than it normally is), but seeing my work being cited more and more is genuinely thrilling.
I never imagined I would see a Jeepers Creepers-themed drag performance set to a dubstep remix of the nu metal song "Bodies" by Drowning Pool. But last night I was proven wrong.
Let's all take the time to appreciate that the Patriots and their fans are sad right now.
A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.
Elad Nehorai@eladn.bsky.social · 7mo agoYour reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular. From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.
I'm switching from Goodreads to StoryGraph. Feel free to follow me there if you want. app.thestorygraph.com/profile/mill...
Okay, I *think* I'm satisfied with the updated list of assigned films for my Queer Film class.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10mo agoVance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"
Imagine breaking up Tenacious D so that you could be in an Anaconda remake.
Applying to jobs while simultaneously finishing a dissertation is... a lot.
Well, at least we'll get a new Charli album. youtu.be/ID0rqEWrN44?...

Eddington is quite disappointing. It feels like a 2.5 hour South Park episode in that it tries to critique "both sides" but never actually says anything of substance. A very frustrating watch.
Well, I guess I should throw away my Against Me! shirt.
this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake
Such a fantastic presentation on '80s Bombay horror by my friend and mentor, Kartik Nair. And Kartik was nice anough to gift me a signed copy of his book! Thank you @benspky.bsky.social and everyone at Seattle U for organizing this!
