Great read about two girls finding themselves and one another amidst the adult industry in 1980s LA.

Yikes. The Social Reckoning looks embarrassing.

please make it stop

85 days until the release of my next book, I AM THE NIGHT. 85 episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. Let's begin.

Happy Pride! My friend Ash made this piece of commentary on trans entertainment icon from the 80s/90s, Caroline Cossey (“Tula”), but BS is being weird about it—please share, save, even watch if you have an hour! Support trans creators!

Finally got me some prescription shades

God I love Boots Riley.

Went to see Obsession today. Not as good as Backrooms, but I still really really liked it despite the overreliance on jumpscares. It's a great takedown of incel entitlement. Just like Barbie, a BUNCH of dudes are gonna miss the point and wreck their relationships over this one.

I really dug this 4 issue paranormal western by Rae Allen / Mike Mignola. I hope we get to see more of Carmen in the future.

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

Some of the reactions to Obsession are deeply disturbing to me. A whole swath of seemingly nice guys telling on themselves. Sure, there’s some good technical craft but it’s a film so clearly conceived by a clueless twenty year old boy.

My gf is so hot 🥵

I’ve been dealing with some scary eye issues over the last five weeks. My vision has become increasingly blurry on top of chronic pain and irritation. Trying not to freak out but I’m sad. If the meds don’t start working soon I’ll have to turn in my car keys. 😓

"Creators who get sucked into bad deals in the next 18 months will be the ones who mistake Hollywood’s sudden interest for validation. Please know that Hollywood is trying to import an asset it doesn’t know how to build internally. That’s leverage and should be treated as such."

In hilarious contrast to my BACKROOMS reaction, I started my Substack series about digital horror creators that aren’t just cis white men. I start with looking at the 2016 Snapchat horror “film” Sickhouse, written and directed by Hannah Macpherson read more: substack.com/@marybethmca...

The YouTube-to-Horror Feature Filmmaker pipeline is very real, but we must acknowledge who has access to it in the first place. YouTube is not a democratized platform, and we're doing the next generation of creatives a disservice by pretending it is www.slashfilm.com/2181604/back...

David Spade appears in a brief cameo on the fourth episode of Baywatch as a dorky virgin bullied by Philly punks.

It all goes back to the Gamergaters. MAGA saw the online engine of incels and losers and just folded it into what "masculinity" is. You can be an undatable failure, but as long as you hate women and minorities, you're an alpha now.

Probably my all-time favorite quote about editing is, some clueless individual asked Martin Scorsese's editor Thelma Schoonmaker how such a nice lady could edit such violent movies, and she replied "Marty's movies aren't violent until I edit them."

They’re turning the entire federal internet apparatus into a galaxy of phishing sites that are controlled by the president and do not adhere to any federal privacy or disclosure rules.

You joke, but spend enough time monitoring the far right and you'll find a lot of guys just flat out telling you that one of the primary jobs of the government should be securing them fuckmaids

Mid-decade redistricting is cheating and should be illegal. How the fuck is this allowed? In the middle of an election window no less!! This fucking country. Pure garbage.

So my recent acquisition is a replica radio that was sent to video rental stores that ordered 8 copies of The Shadow VHS in 1994. I have had episodes of The Shadow radio show on cassette for years and now I can play them on this awesome piece of promotional swag tied to one of my favorite movies!

Whomst amongst us hasn't skipped a family wedding to pretend we're being killed

To my trans friends suffering this allergy season: I just learned that HRT directly impacts the meibomian & lacrimal glands (produces oil/water for tears) - whether high estrogen or testosterone. Plus androgens like spirolactone can reduce tear production. This makes eye irritation so much worse.
