That was... a lot, just to get thwarted by a little cross... #horrorwatch

Interestingly, this movie's score is by Les Baxter, who also did the score for recent #HorrorWatch selection The Dunwich Horror.

This movie has so many obvious parallels to last week's, but at least someone involved in making this cared. #horrorwatch

Are we really doing bat-murder AND grave desecration? Bad move. #horrorwatch

I’d also say that incarceration in the U.S. can’t be understood if you don’t know that prisoners are routinely fed spoiled food.
There's a similar account in The Education of Augie Merasty, a memoir of a Cree boy who survived St. Therese Residential School, of being forced to eat contaminated and inedible food while the teachers feasted.

This cartoonish sort of sadism is a recurring feature of the authoritarian mind.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Weird Duck Season (h/t @rosemarymosco.com) is in full swing! Out of a raft of scaup I was able to positively identify at least one as Greater, the 145th species for Socrates Sculpture Park and the first new bird I've personally added to the list there since October 2023.
This is the best antidote to both posting and loneliness.
If you are a fellow bird nerd or just want to support great research, you can participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count now through Monday.

I don't think it would change much. I'm happy if people discover my work but I'm mainly here to chat with friends and observe certain aspects of the human condition.
Hey artist/creator/writer/etc people: if tomorrow you were guaranteed a very comfortable living the rest of your life, how would that affect your relationship to social media?

Hey remember the shooting in Minneapolis that happened between Renee Good and Alexi Pretti, the guy they claimed was shot by an agent after he had attacked that agent with a shovel? I know it's hard to believe but the agents' story fell apart and charges were dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

Look why has no-one ever told me about the Forgotten Queer Cinema that is Flatbed Annie and Sweetiepie: Lady Truckers (1979)?
