A young Vincent Price. From that same shoot, in London in 1935.

Nothing fills me with a sense of dread quite like the work of artist Chris Van Allsburg. When I was very young, his illustrations terrified me just as much as the ones in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but in a way I didn't even have words to describe yet. He was liminal before liminal was cool

Happy Horror Month to goth Daddy, bisexual icon Vincent Price.

One of my least favorite phrases, especially as fascism hits warp speed, is "let that sink in". Buddy, I've been overthinking everything for ages. It's sunk in, through, out the other side, around the curvature of the universe & back the fuck in 3 times already before you concocted that smug take.

My Metalhead days ended in the early 90's after a frenzied weekend involving the Cool World Soundtrack... but I woke up with this song in my head last week and it hasn't left because... look at what's happening right now. youtu.be/CabD7ImUmrk

8, until I open my mouth, then it's minus thirty seven.

I am no longer socialized to work in an office, reason 8947: audibly muttering "use my face security daddy" while staring into a camera to satisfy an MFA prompt.

The primary advantage of using Signal over WhatsApp is that Signal does not store metadata. Just sayin'. www.forbes.com/sites/the-wi...

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

A reminder all: GO TO JURY DUTY WHEN YOU ARE SUMMONED Yes it is disruptive of schedules but these days, juries need you

I think having an SS tattoo should be disqualifying for public office actually

Just so we're clear, they're proposing a tax on speech. www.goerie.com/story/news/p...

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

As someone doxxed by Andy Ngo, myself, I understand the drama it can bring. His latest target, Daryle Lamont Jenkins is the hero of the film SKIN, and an even greater hero in real life: A Black man who, on his own for decades, has targeted and transformed white supremacists. Now, he needs our help

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

anyway

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

rookie numbers dot gif let's keep the party going, y'all

Lol

In the final hours! If you have a tumblr account and/or feel like reblogging, I'm really curious where folks are on an issue I'm personally wrestling with!

You know, I really don’t like the whole “this is just a distraction” thing but I want to name something I think is a distraction: complaints about how those guys eat their steak and sandwiches, body shaming, and ableist insults being thrown at them. It doesn’t help anyone and it makes you worse.

Don't use AI, even to show how shit it is. You're still fucking up the environment even if you do it ironically.

This is the best editor's note:

😄👍

Another good way to think of this moment is that the American secret police are increasingly comfortable black bagging American citizens on camera and in broad daylight with no basis of detention. The mere act of criticism, no matter how petty and silly, is its own justification for brutality.

I do not understand why this is so hard. AOC is in the news for dunking on Miller's height, and just... don't do this. Every time you resort to appearance-based arguments, you cast doubt on your entire stance. Are you really principled, or are you basing policy off ick factor?

Childhood me: The future will be fantastic! We'll have moon cities and flying cars and it will be a utopia: The actual future:

Why the hell does everything have to happen at once?

PROTIP: Letting your indoor vine plants run wild & tangle over eachother is a really fun away to give your home workspace a lush jungle feeling. It's also a great way to make future you feel like a monster when you tear them apart trying to move them.

Can anyone recommend some decent computer speakers that have a little bit of bass and that aren't super expensive? Sound bars are OK as well.

For the next week, I'm running a poll on Tumblr about self-censorship. I'm not a researcher, so it's not scientific, but if you have a tumblr account, I'd appreciate it if you boosted it and participated. www.tumblr.com/runcibility/...

so bluesky finally got some thiel money huh

Hey friends, we're well-past my birthday (I was severely ill), but as a birthday favor to me, would you consider donating to, or boosting this? www.blackheartharmreduction.org

Posting this one again for reasons

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat. Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

If there's somethin' strange in your neighborhood...

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment

Welcome to America

I dunno man, try listening to marginalized people *before* shit goes wrong, and maybe it won't keep being like that
