Solid list of folk horror films, many of which I added to my watch list. collider.com/folk-horror-...

i’ve hit 50k on gormenghast with mechs and have realized i cannot in good conscience call it gormenghast with mechs anymore (too high camp for mervyn peake fans and the mechs are kind of incidental to the plot if i’m honest)

THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

"Now, when I see a camera, I immediately begin evaluating the best way to remove it." In this narrative, an anonymous researcher wages a personal war against surveillance infrastructure. Relevant as people around the country engage in grassroots resistance to Flock cameras. cwc.im/blindingthec...

hearing american news commentators say out loud that it’s “better for girls in iran to be dead than alive in a burqa” is indescribable. i’m not exaggerating when i say i don’t think i’ve ever witnessed such evil as this. god will never forgive this, and neither will i.

so many folks have DMed me to request copies of this story and i just wanted to say, i’m sorry it’s taken me a couple days to send them out. feeling heavy, but trying to push through it. thanks for being so patient with me, y’all 💚

Incredible story, so happy to hear when my goopfamily is nominated for stuff!!💖

Hey y’all, real quick: my short story “IN VISCERA WE REST OUR HEADS” edited by @lormaggot.ca has made me eligible for the Astounding Award for Best New Writer. If you’d like to read it, DM/email me and I’ll send it to you for free. Link to the awards page in the reply below ✌🏼

how your email finds me

the bar for interfaith allyship is so low it borders on cringe. sent out a very basic “students fasting for ramadan can hang out in my room if they’re uncomfortable being in the cafeteria” email and the other teachers are acting like i threw the first brick at muslim stonewall

appreciation post for the absolutely gigantic dracula tee i got from the thrift store 2 years ago that glows in the dark for no reason

i’ve struggled with chronic fatigue/pain since i was a teenager and i’m finally starting to make some progress in my late 20s, and honestly the biggest things that have helped me are 1) getting a kneeling chair, and 2) being able to observe a consistent sleep schedule

one day, we’re gonna have to talk about the trend of white women reverts marrying swana men and then selling books about swana under their husbands’ names. clearly we aren’t ready for that conversation at present, but we are gonna have to talk about it eventually.

at a party on saturday night i convinced not one but two whole cishet men to read metal from heaven by august clarke. god willing, they will be lesbians soon. i’m out here doing recruitment for the lesbian cause. a dyke paladin.

BRITISH ROYAL ARRESTED FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1649 🎉

Illustrations made this year

just hit 40k on gormenghast with mechs btw. if u even care

kinda funny that the tag line on the cover of metal from heaven is “fear her wrath” because the book really has very little to do with the protagonist’s wrath at all. more than anything, it’s about the depth and extremity of her love.

in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.

this manuscript has me inventing new types of insane butches (affectionate)

had a strange and dreamlike doctors appointment yesterday where the intake paperwork listed every ethnic group under the sun but somehow forgot to include white ppl (based) so for the first time in my entire life i had to check the box for arab and arab only

part of me wants to say metal from heaven didn’t win big awards because of lesbophobia, but in my heart of hearts i know it’s actually because it’s a genuinely radical communist book and the english-speaking literary SFF establishment is an intensely neoliberal space

the breathtaking revolutionary optimism!!!! literally an underappreciated masterwork of anticapitalist fantasy

the moral support shrimp has his own chair at the writing desk

had a crazy dream last night that there was a gritty breaking bad-esque miniseries adaptation of les miserables called "bayou les mis" that took place in florida (???) that mostly focused on cosette and eponine growing up. woke up legitimately pissed that bayou les mis isn’t real

yet again i find myself laying awake in bed thinking about metal from heaven by august clarke

shoutout to the guy at the local wrestling match last night who saw the three of us pull up and said “yall look like you’re going to a linkin park concert after this”

i love writers

Something americans need to understand is that your country has always been a colonial occupation war monster with an endless hunger for new resources and territories that not only has never shied away from mass death but in facts seems to seek it enthusiastically at every turn.

just burned myself in the most me way possible (stuck my hand into a pot of boiling hot couscous. do not ask why)

gore of my comfort character (thomas cromwell said something cringe)

victorians 🤝 hoteps weird about egypt

when i was a 16yo girl i thought i was an adult. coaching 12-17yo girls as a 28yo really hammered home how much i was wrong about being an adult at 16 and how obvious it is to actual adults that a 16yo is not an adult. if they say they cannot tell they are lying because they are a creep.

We keep us housed. There is more need but we are making a meaningful difference in the stability and safety of our neighbors. It felt awesome to do this…will you join me? @naomikritzer.bsky.social is pulling together funds today.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

LET’S WOLF THIS HALL

me n the girls cromming out tonight (watching the bbc wolf hall miniseries)

the excruciating pain of having to overhear teenagers giving each other some truly abysmal relationship advice feels like witnessing a real life wormtongue moment. No my liege he means you harm!!!

ok we’re already a month into the new year but IDGAF here’s my top 6 for 2025 + the top 6 books i’m most excited to read in 2026!!!!!

i genuinely unironically love when my white friends tell me about their ancestry dot com results. like yess bitch i need to know what the fuck your great great grandpappy jedadiah was up to 👀

i will never forgive hilary mantel for forcing me at gunpoint to develop a genuine interest in tudor england (the most cringe possible thing for an american to be into)

if you wanna know about the cool new lows unto which my household has sunk, we took the homestuck classpect quiz in-character as hilary mantel’s thomas cromwell. heir of hope, if you were wondering.

TEACHING CRISTOPHE THE CARD TRICK BEFORE HIS EXECUTION I’M SOBBING

WRIOTHESLEY MOVING INTO AUSTIN FRIARS 😡🔪

these days you can’t even google a dead guy without having to look at some godforsaken catboy. because of woke

i have put off finishing the mirror & the light for an entire week because i’m gonna miss tommy crommy so much 💔

historical fiction really does have spoilers because you already learned what’s gonna happen to the main characters in history class, but the fate of that fuckass side character you love? a complete mystery. anyway if anything bad happens to rafe sadler i’m killing my self

i love that rightwingers genuinely seem to believe that political ideology is a set genetic inheritable trait
