there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Admittedly Krennic's meeting with Vader in ROGUE ONE is very funny because it's Vader, the monstrous black knight from the id, and Krennic, the most mundane character archetype a series like STAR WARS is capable of having

The new Republican plan same as the old Republican plan: Fucking die already.

Who uses SNAP? My friend, who works, raising 5 kids, husband bailed and won’t pay child support My neighbor battling cancer and her life-saving meds are so expensive, she chooses between meds or food My friend who’s a vet and struggles with mental health issues. Not one of them chose this.

//with all the (INSANELY DESERVED) frankenstein hype, for anyone that is into symphonic metal, carach angren released an album inspired by both mary shelley's story and that of the (allegedly) real victor frankenstein, johan konrad dippel, called frankensteina strataemontanus.

When the Creature said “You may be my creator, but from this day forward I will be your master,” I came, and so did Victor Frankenstein.

Cowichan Tribes is calling on the federal government to take responsibility for an unauthorized dumping site on its reserve lands, saying the contamination of Indigenous lands is a national issue that Ottawa has long failed to address.

guessing the answer to “who hurt you?!?“ was definitely “Victor”

In interviews w/ Black mediamakers for my forthcoming book the observation that “woke” was a new stand-in/scare word for “communist” came up a lot. I began those interviews in Jan 2021. This piece is important AND we have to acknowledge how much of the play book was already in play before Jan 2025.

Just made me think of the reaction if the exact version of the Watchmen HBO series that we got a few years back was released in 2025.

Meet my newest creation: Jasper the Festive Moth of Doom! I designed, hand-sewed, and hand-embroidered him. Jasper fervently believes that just because he's a moth of doom doesn't mean that he can't also be a fun and celebratory fellow. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature

Yeah, you sure have done that (rolls eyes so hard they fall out of my head)

Resources like Scarleteen are under attack right now thanks to a hostile, censorious, puritan government. And, as illustrated last night, health care precarity in the US is a really big problem. Health educators deserve health care!

I know many new writers worry about how readers will receive their work. That’s a valid concern! That said, two things: 1. This gig is only worth it if you write what YOU want. 2. Some will hate your stuff, but some will like it. Your readers. They’re awesome. Write for them.

Frankenstein (2025): My word for world is “asshole.”

"What these pundits are nudging us to do, ever so politely, is accept that women, in the main, are accustomed to being a little degraded, a little underpaid and ignored and dampened in their ambitions, in ways that men are not and never will be." THIS

There is a very good reason these losers are lonley

So they're fighting in courts to: - Be more violent against fellow Americans - Starve more Americans - Cheat in more elections - Deprive Americans of more Constitutional rights

If Wall Street threatens Mamdani-style reforms with a capital strike, organized labor can fight back—history shows how banks killed NYC’s progressive plans in 1975, so unions must prepare to counter similar opposition now.

I have no clever metaphor or snappy spin on the latest disappointment, just this: If your representative votes to price you out of healthcare—or support any bill that hurts people, really—it is time to call and scold them so badly they cannot sleep, then vote them the fuck out.

A true classic of animation. Easy to why Miyazaki would be so taken w/ this tale of a brave little girl entering a strange and scary world to rescue her best friend. THE SNOW QUEEN's an astonishing work of fantasy filmmaking, but it also captures the experience of childhood like few other films do.

Chat is it okay for cops to break the law to get more firearms than they need

With all humanity, I ask for your support for my family in Gaza. Winter is coming, and we still live in cold tents by the sea. My children shiver and their clothes are torn. Please help us buy clothes and blankets to give them warmth and dignity. Every donation matters ❤️ 🔗 gofund.me/a0a540b8

"Vance is a soulless striver who will sell off anything if he thought it would give him more power. We don’t have to ask if he would betray his wife and kids. He does so nearly every day by promoting a vision of America that has no room for them in it."

[Medieval monastery] Abbot: Did you draw in the margins of this bible? Me: Yeah, it's called illumination. Very fancy. Abbot: *opens book* Is this a tree growing dicks instead of fruit? Me: lol yeah

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Well that just moved into my top 10 horror movies of the year! Beautifully creepy haunting slow burn that delivers HUGE in the final 20 minutes! This one had me on edge, guessing, and even a bit emotional. Excellent performances and camera work. Absolutely amazing!

in terms of SF/F/H short stories, I'm fond of "The Great Dark", a weird horror tale which came out earlier this year in Twin Pies Literary & was featured in my collection Boxcutters. It's a story about earnest childhood love and the monsters hiding in our homes and hearts.
