I am unfortunately not going to watch Spider-Noir because Spider-Noir was created by my friend Fabrice Sapolsky and Marvel has not given him a dime for all they've milked from it.

Now is a good time to remember that Meta has announced that it is laying off 10% of its workforce, including 2,000 people just today, while going in on a "AI will replace workers" strategy. www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

1/ Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold. People are dying, systems are breaking down. This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.

this list is good (and somehow has a couple of books i've not read!)

(someday, i might publish a grimoire.)

I'm making this post on behalf of Rony, a friend who runs a small art school in Haiti for the children of the community. Another friend is running a GoFundMe campaign for him to order to pay the 1 year rent on the space where he operates the school from. Let's get him to the finish line!!

Max Booth is a good person and wonderful member of the horror fiction community who is in a terrible situation and needs our help. Help if you can and do please spread the word.

as the sun sets, blindly, he comes, hooves like iron hammering holes in pavement, one three five all set to sate him, each house the same, each house the same.

thinking about Asenath Waite again. poor girl.

Sonny Rollins, colossus of jazz saxophone, dies aged 95

A weevil with a pseudoscorpion attached to its front leg, hitching a ride. Pseudoscorpions will often use other insects as Ubers to carry them around the forest, a commensal relationship called phoresis. It was exciting to see this in action. #invert El Septimo Paraiso Lodge, Ecuador

The team behind Fiends in the Furrows were kind enough to ask me to write up my brief overview of Folk Horror from the festival’s panel discussion so, obviously, I reworked it into a 3000 word essay that touches on swine flu and American exceptionalism… leithkino.substack.com/p/they-still...

Read Nelson's story in the same issue too, it's fantastic! www.thedarkmagazine.com/mercy/

You should go read this, now. It's very good.

Happy World Turtle Day to Cecil Turtle, the little green guy who thwarted Bugs Bunny.

THEY OWE US A LIVING, WE DO NOT OWE THEM THE SAME.

Cw: rape So Israel kidnapped flotilla activists in international waters, raped them, shot them, broke their bones. And the governments of the world let them.

an assassin's home is alamut and alamut is every(no)where.

all my dreams, lately, are of death but the details quickly elude me before i can write them down and that feels sickeningly appropriate.

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

In two paragraphs, a perfect snapshot of the willful refusal of some security officials – in this case, predictably, in Trump's FBI; but this also happens in Europe – to see and name racist and far-right terror for what it is. It is not "indiscriminate" hatred, or "nihilism"; it is modern nazism.

My little guy is injured. If you can spare anything or help get the word out, we would be eternally grateful. gofund.me/4f7526550

(something about black vans with blackout windows and so much overlap between federal agents and private contractors and, let's be clear,: this country cannot be saved [but that doesn't mean that its people can't be.])

The level of corruption in this supposed democracy is breathtaking. How Americans arent more upset I'll never know

enormously important point - all of geology, period, begins in field books and on paper maps

This one took a while to write. Put out an essay about the links between fandom and consumerism, and its effect on how we interpret fiction. Hope y'all enjoy!

watched that recent sam raimi movie and fucking hated it (and it reminded me of why the only two of his films that i actually like are 'darkman' and 'a simple plan.')

I want to repost this one million times

Synth and noise gear for sale I'm selling some gear which I've used on various S.E.T.I. and Lagowski albums and in performances, with a view to minimising my desktop footprint. I can send worldwide, but bear in mind the huge postage costs if you're outside the UK. Any enquiries to…

Last month, Aleanna Royal Bechdel, a 31 year-old Black trans woman who was a DJ, promoter, and artist, was murdered in a housing complex in New York, and a 54-year old man was arrested. There has been very little press coverage on this, including by queer outlets run by cis white people.

every word a world, every breath an eternity.

Fux up

please share even if you can't donate, max wouldn't have posted this at all if we hadn't pressured her into it and i promise this is genuinely an Escape from an extremely fucked up, very prolonged situation

"A new report is raising questions about how U.S. law enforcement agencies across the South classify the deaths of transgender women, arguing that some cases ruled suicides may warrant deeper scrutiny"

how do you not wonder if you are?

'i wanna be yr friend.' you lick yr lips  with  contagious abandon, wires, black+red, slick with motor oil, bits of cheap latex  beneath broken fingernails. (and you remember crawling up the pylons, the city bright beneath you.)

It’s literally the same impulse as the one that powered the Hays code: find a formula that will quantify morality via very specific guidelines

Anything can help. Max has consistently gone above and beyond for friends and writers. I've never in my life seen anyone work so hard 💙💙💙

one of the most truly beautiful films ever made.
