Don't expect me to be sad about who want to see me dead or in chains being cut free from the mortal coil. *cue aliahshefield's "Dance in the Street When You Die"*

Happy holidays but keep it in the group, chat, y'all. Love youuuu

Wait. That Etsy witch bout to be booked and busy!

Latest Insanity Check with @bookblerd.bsky.social: ICE is violating our rights more than everyone realizes, RFK Jr is the most dangerous cabinet member and Kriss comes out as pro-ageist

Also, for @bookblerd.bsky.social, @insanityreport.bsky.social, and everyone else, a site dedicated to review and call out of those long ToS that you know you don't read: tosdr.org/en

The entertainment team is a fraction of the staff at IGN, and they laid off 2 of us with the insistence that they'd be "covering the vertical less." In fact, in every layoff they've said "we'll just pare back our coverage." Every single time it's been a lie. Solidarity forever with my friends.

@insanityreport.bsky.social's feed today reminds me how many of y'all watched Jordan Peele's "Us" and missed EVERY point

Justice Jackson is basically reporting live from inside a garbage fire www.ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/nih-c...

“it’s like Upton Sinclair never wrote a book.” - @bookblerd.bsky.social | I read that in jr or high school. LOVED IT!!!!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

If you don’t wanna be shunned by everyone you rely on to maintain your status in a given space, it’s kind of on you to not be a fuckin weirdo to strangers. Try, at least? You’re not entitled to anyone’s time or attention; watching dudes act like they are and spin out when shut down is wild as hell.

Right before being laid off, I went viral from a question I asked Vanessa Kirby at the Fantastic Four junket. On a day where we’re once again asked to justify our careers as critics and journalists, it feels pertinent. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BM6QKT/

Listening to “What Does That Have to Do with Me?” on the Insanity Check with @insanityreport.bsky.social and @bookblerd.bsky.social | The MTR Network podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

This. Please stop telling me that you are “not surprised.” Public interest journalism isn’t about shock value. It’s about informing people and holding power to account. I don’t care if you’re not surprised by the information I report on.

I got to deliver a talk on the history and legacy of the Hays Code and the Comics Code, contemporary censorship efforts, and the necessity of identifying with criminality. You can watch and read the whole thing here:

We're so freaking close! I know we can make it!

I'm not supposed to be vertical (or outside), but I'm not missing my #FantasticFour screening. NowSeated:

can't beat starting the day off by being a menace to the pharmacy tech who arbitrarily decided my insurance doesn't cover my Rx anymore.

This is just a #humblebrag reminder that 1000xRESIST recently took home a Peabody Award—and we’re still buzzing about it 🐝 A powerful, genre-bending story that’s earned its place alongside the best in media 🏆 Haven’t played it yet? Now’s the time! 💠 bit.ly/1KXRSteam

I can't think of a better way for Jessica Jones to re-enter the MCU chat than via Daredevil: Born Again's second season.

Well fuck me, we're getting Jessica Jones back. The world is healing.

Oh I think Idaho was very attractive. Court d’Alene perhaps? idahocapitalsun.com/2022/08/11/h... Or Sand Point? The favored retirement town for white cops (We learned about it b/c of Mark Fuhrman of O.J. fame). idahocapitalsun.com/2022/08/11/h... N. Idaho? Spokane? www.spokesman.com/stories/2024...

Join us (in Philippine time, this Friday, May 16, 8am) as we discuss real-world stakes in SFF! writersleague.org/calendar/may...

That man is talking about that plane being a "gift to the DoD" the way a man cheating on his wife says he only puts everything in his girlfriend's name for "tax purposes."

Swap "humanities scholar" for "librarian" or "educator" and you'll have an idea of what it's like right now in secondary and lower schools.

Your political affiliation is neither "proof" that you're not pro-white supremacy nor a shield that gives you a pass to be anti-Black. being anti-Black and racist comes in more forms than a triple decker pack of Crayons. A "satirical" delivery doesn't create an exemption.

Oh, hello. Is that you Mr No-Shit? It’s me, Mr Sherlock.

Someone explain to me how a gown ass man can, unironically, part his lips to say, "drinking water is a scam" and then act surprised at me asking him how many times his mama dropped him as a baby. Lord I'm tired...

I need my nervous system to pick something other than stabbing at my EYEBALLS to let me know it's angry at me. Like, who decided it was okay for EYELASHES to hurt?!?!

If you were subscribed to the podcast on YouTube, you’d have it by now.

it's stupid but make the time then set an appt (or go stand on line if that's still a thing where you live) to update your ID/License as fast as possible - avoid anything that decreases possible encounters with any form of law enforcement. Then apply for TSA PreCheck (and if eligble global entry)

I've been saying I need a new life plan since this year started. Seems like it's a good time to design one because the fuckery is CLEARLY not gonna pause. 2025 my theme song: youtu.be/QlJhndmnX7g

Really enjoyed nom-comming for this year’s Gotham TV Awards (for both Outstanding Original Film and Outstanding Performance in an Original Film) alongside @tomilaffly.bsky.social, @davidlfear.bsky.social, @briantallerico.bsky.social, and @judysquirrels.bsky.social: www.indiewire.com/awards/resul...

It will never not be funny that all my friends know they have to sit through a "I don't engage in the unauthorized practice of law, my JD doesn't make me your lawyer" disclaimer when they open a call/text with, "'ey let me ask you a question" ESPECIALLY if you say my mama sent you my way

I keep thinking this meme has hit every possible iteration. I keep thinking it doesn't get better. I keep being gloriously wrong. Via Facebook, here: www.facebook.com/adam.the.cre...

I’m screaming bc I’m thinking of how i would respond as the person getting asked and like … “bruh the door is open ain’t it?!” 😂😂

Counter-point: please continue to make these Zone of Interest-cosplay dorks the face of the natalist movement

Like please leave us out of this!!!

It's good that we as a people know that if someone knows the right Beyoncé song or seminal generational track we're ALL ending up in the parking lot doing a line dance. The #Sinners memes and videos are still SENDING ME

If you're like @dpalm66.bsky.social you need 3 to 5 business days after watching a show before you're willing to talk about it. Listen as we talk Daredevil: Born Again: www.mtrnetwork.net/str-daredevi...

*taps the sign* Black Mirror was not an instruction manual.

I have seen the first 20 minutes of PREDATOR: BADLANDS and have the scoop over @bloody-disgusting.com, including an interview with filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg!

Just throw everything away

I got my mom to stop giving me shit abt my music in HS by playing her: Pearl Jam's Black, Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun, and Alice in Chains' Man in a Box while she read the lyrics. It was a WRAP once I played her TOOL'S Eulogy I ended up having to re-buy CDs b/c she never gave mine back.

this is your brain on racism

Gimme the Prize Who Wants to Live Forever

It is VERY DISTURBING seeing Black ppl resurrecting a racial caste system from colonial America/Australia (created to measure success in "breeding the Black out") to gatekeep who's "Black" in 2025. like, what are y'all doing fixing your lips to blithely use quadroon or octoroon? are y'all HIGH!?

at this point, all other countries should issue a specific travel advisory about Vance and refuse to permit his plane to touch down in their territory.

been fun watching "devout" christians (evangelical, et. al) lose their collective shit over #Sinners b/c the narrative centers the inescapable fact that their brand of religious fervor and worship is, & has always been, steeped in white supremacy parables stay kicking their ass
