This weekend we'll take down the Yuletide and autumn decorations, including these adorable pumpkins Sonnett crocheted during her convalescence. I'll miss them. 🙂 #halloweencrafts #crochetchicago

This wonderful, funny, and wise poem from Brenda Holiday is just the laugh to end this year with. I true gift, I hope you'll enjoy as well. #NewYears2025 #Comedy

Thousands of newly obtained documents show that Clearview AI’s founders always intended to target immigrants and the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump administration.

This is how erasure happens in genre: Includes 35 authors. 4 women. 5 non-white. How many freakin' awards does someone like Lois McMaster Bojold have to win to be even mentioned? People of color, queer, etc.? And don't the sub-genres picked bias toward old-white-guy interests? #SciFiwriters

I'm frequently frustrated by what I perceive as writers/director having lost the skill of creating engaging characters in their works. However, this little gem absolutely excels at it. Mysterious, suspenseful, thoughtful, and heartfelt. Recommended. #HorrorCommunity #IndieHorror

I’ll Be Glad When You Dead… Buck Woods tells German-speaking Nazis what he thinks of them while performing in France. Somehow feels relevant these days. From REUNION IN FRANCE, starring Joan Crawford and John Wayne, released on Christmas, 1942.

"I'll burn down your house" - legally actionable, boring, common "I told the trees about you" - legally acceptable, foreboding, unsettling, the plants know your name and hate you

That last one tho 😎 #witchlife #witch #bruja

Brion tomb in Venice by Carlo Scarpa (1968-1978) photos from Fernanda Barbara r/brutalism

“Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster." "So what do we do?" "Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well." "How?" "I don't know. It's a mystery.” #tomstoppard #theatre

"I mean, you'd never *know* you were in a box, would you? It would be just like you were asleep in a box. Not that I'd like to sleep in a box, mind you. Not without any air. You'd wake up dead for a start, and then where would you be?" We will not see his like again. R.I.P.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Angry Staff Officer: “…Thanksgiving as a national holiday has to do with the Civil War and not the Puritans or previously proclaimed days of Thanksgiving (of which there were hundreds) - so be sure… to give thanks for the victories brought by Union arms at Vicksburg & Gettysburg.”

This neighborhood mansion is Gothic AF. #andersonvillechicago #ChicagoGothic #ChicagoHorror #HorrorCommunity

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

Working on a mask for the next episode of Beyond These Haunted Streets: BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS. Coming along nicely, I think. 🙂 #HorrorCommunity #FolkHorror #UrbanWyrd #IndieHorror #HorrorMovies #ChicagoHorror

Fascinating folklore. I'd heard many of these, but some are quite new to me. How many have you heard of? #FolkHorror #Folklore #Mythology #HorrorCommunity

For BEYOND THESE HAUNTED STREETS, I wanted the Title to feel old-school, so used a fish tank as a simple form of "cloud tank", like was used in CE3K, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Ghostbusters. #practicalFX #BeyondTheseHauntedStreets #indiefilmmaking #cloudtank

I'm not surprised to see men being dragged for "virtue reading." Reading is the only form of entertainment that is still free. Of course businesses would shame you for it. Put down that library card and pay for a streaming service, sir!

She's not wrong.
