…I really think this is the more important presidential-election-related story to have in the news cycle.

Hard to put into words just how fucked trans people are. It's happening in the UK too. They don't even want to give us the grace to pee in peace.

Evergreen advice. It’s over when you give up and not a moment before. The Supreme Court ruled against Dred Scott, too.

to add a little more here, it is not that economic anxiety is fake, it is that it cannot be neatly disentangled from racial anxieties. for instance, if you are doing well but see black people doing better, you may feel anxious on account of your internalized idea of what the racial order should be.

It's worth mentioning, I think, that the only reason we have to go through this constant exhausting effort to prove our worth to live in the world is because a small group of billionaires have ginned up a public hate campaign against us, as the spearhead of a movement to roll back social progress.

@joshuaconkel.bsky.social Just a minor clarification for your Challenger example. Yes, it wasn't broadcast on live tv, but it was broadcast to schools by a NASA satellite program. I did watch the explosion live in school because of that satellite broadcast.

I was taking an undergrad drama lit course in 1995 and read the play and then saw the film. So it's been a bit for me. I remember the playwriting being clever in that stage-play kind of way, particularly the M. being a giveaway as to the twist instead of Mme. 5 years of French for that!

I'm not gonna lie, my eye twitched and I stared in shock at my phone when I heard this pronunciation. Not only the "Manger" but also the long A in the middle of the phrase? I knew there would be pronunciation drama.

At long last! My favorite film of 2023 is available for rent and purchase! SHE IS CONANN! A woman wanders the afterlife, revisiting herself every ten years to kill the woman she was to become the woman she must be. Shot like BARBARELLA on mescaline. A full blown assault on the senses! FUCKING 🖤 IT!

My senior year of High School I helped our academic quiz team win our regional contest by answering the question about a book described as being about "Drugs and sex and sex and sex" and I nearly jumped out of my seat to scream NAKED LUNCH! Everyone in the room noticed my vibrating enthusiasm.

As someone who was in their late-teens in the 90s I fell into the Burroughs/Beat Poetry/Slam Poetry revival. I was reading Ginsberg and the Nuyorican poets at the same time. So this movie and the book Naked Lunch became a wide-eyed soul-rush for my burgeoning queer heart.

I started listening to Dayspring by Anthony Oliveira yesterday. I'm halfway through it now and it is pure ecstasy. A queer, erotic, poetic, post-modern gospel from the POV of John the Beloved is kind of exactly what I needed right now. Breathtaking.

I will also add that the bizarre voice breaking vocal bends in this song make me want to throw up. I don't know why. It's like the audio equivalent of shaky cam.

Keep Your Hands to Yourself by the Georgia Satellites. My dad played in a bar cover band for years and I heard this song eleventymillion times. As a consequence I completely understand popular artists who never want to play one of their greatest hits ever again.

I was about to say something very serious about setting context and plot hooks for the GM to spin out from, since that's how I use them. But now I have Dracula from Castlevania SotN in my head saying "What is a campaign guide? A miserable little pile of plot hooks."

It's always been that way. When I was a child in the early 80's my small town Ohio third grade play was heavily protested by satanic panic parents. They claimed the play promoted witchcraft (the Sorcerer's Apprentice) and homosexuality because there was a wish granting fairy played by a young girl.

If you need something chill and interesting to watch, I would love to recommend Early Medieval Embroidery. She's just begun doing a recreation of the Bayeux Tapestry and it's wonderful.

@joshuaconkel.bsky.social a propos of historically set Evil Dead concepts, did you ever check out the Netflix series Kingdom where there's a zombie outbreak in feudal Korea? It's costume porn for days, but also the zombies are pretty awesome.

Book industry open secret, folks: If a title on a NYT bestseller list features a dagger in its description? Like this? (†) It means they've made it to bestseller status through suspicious means, specifically bulk-buy orders instead of sales to individual customers. They're scammin'.
