When it comes to serious mental illness, family caregivers are crucial partners. But often, they must fend for themselves. A new solution offers them support.

Picked up the new Mick Rock 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' book for a quick flip, then @darrenstein.bsky.social texts: “I love that you made it in via this Jinkx quote!” Floored cuz I had no idea, lol. Grateful being name-checked by daughther, on a page w/ idol Pat Quinn. Perfect start to the new year!

Happy Birthday DARREN STEIN!!! We love you! It was a blast getting to nerd out with you about all things horror. Getting the story about the miracles & revelations of creating JAWBREAKER were amazing! Check out our full conversation on our YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts! #DarrenStein

The Trump administration has renewed efforts to target those providing healthcare to trans youth.

Sleep kills! On this week's @midnightmasspod.bsky.social, Peaches and I are celebrating 1984's A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET! We're joined by iconic director of JAWBREAKER @darrenstein.bsky.social to talk Freddy, final girl power, queer resonance, & more! midnightmass.buzzsprout.com/1796691/epis...

I always love chatting horror with my ghoulfriends @peacheschrist.com and @michaelvarrati.bsky.social on my favorite podcast! Midnight Mass!!!!

Every frame of Boorman and the Devil drips with David Kittredge’s deep love for film and more specifically The Exorcist II: Heretic. It’s a doc made of blood sweat and tears and a must-see for anyone who’s ever been obsessed with a film - and all lovers of film.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com President Trump “should pay a political price for his brazen corruption,” the editorial board writes. Instead, by reportedly demanding that the Justice Department hand him $230 million, “he is telling American taxpayers to pay a price, directly to him.”

Jawbreaker #Art by Eliran Kantor

My favorite movie is Jawbreaker because it showed me that cis women can transition too. Mousy introverted closeted Fern becomes glamorous mean girl Vylette.

Jawbreaker made the list! Catch it on Shudder!

Party Like It’s 1999 gets peachy keen with JAWBREAKER, Darren Stein’s cult classic black comedy thefridacinema.org/movies/jawbr...

I killed Liz! I killed the teen dream! Deal with it. #Jawbreaker #WeirdWednesday

Midnight Mass starts TONIGHT at 7pm 🧪😈💚 Join me, @peacheschrist.com and @michaelvarrati.bsky.social at @midsummerscream.bsky.social! There’s a costume contest and an interview show before the 4K screening of Re-Animator!

🔊 DARREN STEIN talks about those iconic hallway strutting scenes in “Jawbreaker” 🔊 Check out the full interview at the links in our bio 🔗 @darrenstein.bsky.social @promotehorror.bsky.social

"The Fly" is one of those movies, like "Jawbreaker," that is such a clear trans allegory that I'm kinda baffled that there's other readings.

🔊 DARREN STEIN (Writer/Director) tells us the inspiration for “Jawbreaker” and how it transitioned from horror to dark comedy 🔊 WATCH or LISTEN at the links in the comments below ⬇️ @darrenstein.bsky.social

He killed Liz. He killed the teen dream. Deal with it. 😜 Well… he sorta did, cause he wrote and directed the 1999 dark comedy that’s developed quite a cult following — JAWBREAKER. 🍬 Tune in Monday for a really fun interview with DARREN STEIN! 🎬 @darrenstein.bsky.social @promotehorror.bsky.social

Happy Pride! Jawbreaker is on Paramount Plus!

PRIDE day off. Edible and “Jawbreaker.” 🤘

"Jawbreaker" is kinda all of these.

As we head into Pride month, please consider the fact that queer art is rarely given the resources or backing provided elsewhere...and that so much of it exists in spite of constraints and out of the sheer desire to share a story. Art made with economy is still a triumph...in fact, even more so.

Jealous of my friend Darren Stein’s dreamy, mall-soaked, movie-loving Valley boy youth. Tito Jackson? Contempo Casuals? Jane Fonda's Workout? I need a time machine (and a rat-tail comb). Read this fab piece from the creator of Jawbreaker @darrenstein.bsky.social: www.laexplained.com/post/memoirs...

Happiest birthday to icon Andy Bell of Erasure who is one of the best vocalists and songwriters we’ve ever been lucky enough to have. I love you so much!

"Eric LaRue" delves deep into the complexities of grief, with powerful performances from Judy Greer and Alexander Skarsgård. Michael Shannon's directorial debut hits hard. A subtle and intense drama. Full review here: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/eric-...

"[director] Michael Shannon’s approach is uncompromising but not heavy-handed. He hasn’t watered down the material. The style is unfussy but distinct enough to give the film a dissociated quality." Read @sheilakathleen.bsky.social's review of ERIC LARUE

We could make fun of this in so many ways, but telling people, "We are poor because transgender people are taking all the money," should be uncomfortably familiar to people familiar with 20th century history.

Congrats on your feature debut @michaelvarrati.bsky.social !!

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Wherz my coffee!

Went on BBC hoping to pressure London authorities to give answers. On April 3, it will have been two years since I found her dead but we still don't have a death certificate / cause of death. BUT we are just finding out they've known via CCTV three men were in the flat with her? youtu.be/hXjHT8a9vQ0

Major demo for trans youth coming up by Act Up, GLM, & Transformative Schools following numerous NYC hospitals preemptively ending gender-affirming care for minors in violation of New York state law, which this past election enshrined trans rights into law. Saturday at 1pm, Union Square.

Tomorrow on the Main Feed: in anticipation of our conversation on Carrie, we’re drawing connections to Jawbreaker. Don’t see it? We’ll discuss it!

So many connections between #Carrie and #Jawbreaker! Some I knew, some I absolutely *did not*.
