A lot of Trans people like Lynch bc his films are situated in a strange liminal place of reality and an abstracted alternate reality and they phase between one another. The inbetweenness is welcoming & potentially synonymous to a quotidian low-humming dysphoria. A wrongness that many of us recognize

Like so many, my dear friend Tasneem in Gaza is looking for protection and a place to take refuge. Every donation, even the smallest, helps her family survive and save for the fees to flee to safety. Please give to Tasneem. And to others, if you can. 🙏 chuffed.org/project/1587...

I wrote about depictions of witches and what text and subtext can reveal about the cultural anxieties behind these iconic figures. The title is Emily's atrocity, which she foisted on me like a deadly disease and for which I will never forgive her.

today on @darkertimes.bsky.social: I *love* this essay from the inimitable @scumbelievable.bsky.social on witches on film and text, subtext, power, and worldview: www.darkertimes.com/witches-worl...

adam accidentally took one of the cats’ anti-depressants. he brought the medication upstairs to give to the cat but by the time he made it on the stairs, he forgot and took the pill thinking it was his sleep medication.

people talking about daggermouth but I keep thinking they are talking about Katharine Kerr's DAGGERSPELL which I recommend. I've only read the first in the series but I should read the other books at some point...

Emily Wilson is not the co-writer of Nolan's THE ODYSSEY. She didn't produce it or show up to set ready to be the high authority on all things adaptation. He read her translation, liked it, and turned to it for guidance in writing. She can say whatever she wants about the movie, calm down.

This title isn’t a compliment, it’s a challenge. We should want more for women on-screen. In my latest @vulture.com essay I analyze the Circe scene in The Odyssey to explore the failures of the adaptation including characterization, lack of sexual violence & more. www.vulture.com/article/circ...

The Odyssey’s Circe Is the Best Female Character Nolan Has Ever Written

Nolan’s never been great at writing women, but what doesn’t exist on the page Samantha Morton conjures through a tricksy, powerhouse performance.

The idea of “harmful speech” is nothing more than a pretext to government censorship. They started, of course, with pornography, then quickly moved into political dissent. Now they’re casting entire platforms and formats as dangerous — as if ideas were weapons or drugs.

NEW: We filed a brief supporting a challenge to a Colorado law that would require social media platforms to display the state’s view that speech on social media is harmful. The government cannot decide that speech is harmful and force the rest of us to play along.
