Just watched John Carpenter's THEY LIVE (1988) for the first time, and the date the film gives for the complete takeover of Earth by the rapacious alien billionaires is, uh, 2025.

Itโs a great day to talk about rising from the grave, so hereโs a collage I made about my little feral cat vampire novel:
i'm not much for true crime, but i'll make an exception for an examination of the real 1945v witchcraft killing in the uk which supposedly inspired the wicker man and other folk horror. #nowwatching the last sacrifice (2024) from safely under a pile of hounds.
But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

I will beat this drum forever: Mass incarceration intersects with EVERYTHING. If you care about LGBTQ+ rights, gender justice, reproductive rights, censorship, public safety--you care about mass incarceration whether or not you know it yet.

This morning, I'm enjoying a little democratic socialism with a slice of schadenfreude as a treat.

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.
On this day in 1978, the rainbow flag first flew as a symbol of pride. It was raised at San Francisco Gay Freedom Day.
These ICE protests aren't just protests. They are direct actions, with strategy behind them calculated to protect our neighbors and loved ones from kidnapping and torture. Activists are debating and experimenting with and fine-tuning tactics with the goal of disrupting and delaying ICE trafficking.
the decision to "be safe" is no longer yours to make. the state has decided to make us unsafe. but you can make informed choices, take calculated risks, and you can decide to be powerful.
Literally SCREAMING that @kristenkorvette.bsky.social is reading my book!! *Witches, Sluts, Feminists* was so powerful for me. Itโs the first place I read other queer and trans witches articulating that queerness, transness, and Other-ness can be a source of power. โค๏ธโ๐ฅ

Remembering Chevaliรจre d'รon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

Just finished the exquisitely devastating Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social. Weasel Plume stole my heart, but Taz and Cordelia managed to claw their way in after. What most reviews wonโt tell you is that this oneโs for the cat lovers, too.

Anyang Museum in Henan Province finished restoration on a local tomb mural depicting a black and white cat (note the bell collar!). Belonging to official Zhao Yigong, the tomb was completed in 829 CE; it's thought to be the earliest Chinese tomb mural of a domestic cat. #caturday
