Time to share my story too! Long story short, I was offered a monthly column creating a deep cuts watchlist since they are my specialty. Everything was going great, I was given a platform to talk about my favorites. Now how it all ended…

Black women film critics and writers have a hard enough time in this space doing their actual jobs. I’m so proud of my friend for speaking up and loudly about her experience working for this horror outlet.

Note: though she’s offering this for free, support her and add funds while you’re there.

If you can EVEN believe it, I've finished all twelve illustrations for the Lynch calendar! As usual I started losing my mind a little at the end so Inland Empire turned out unexpectedly wacky. I'll be placing the print order soon, please order now if you def want one!

This is what I mean when I say that present-day covid denialism is right wing. It was a plan born of corporatists and wholly adopted by centrists and even leftists eager to pretend the pandemic was over, which should immediately give anyone thinking about it pause.
Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

Hey, if you’re attending #TIFF50 next week, please consider wearing a high quality mask (like a KN95). I don’t want to get sick and I don’t want you to get sick! Let’s keep each other safe from airborne illness this year. Cool? COOL! I promise you no one will care. Always happy to give mask recs! 😷

I wasn’t going to say anything else beyond my original reply about the event last night but conflating this with what’s happening in Palestine is so out of pocket. Unbelievable.
Aviva C (see screenshots) to starving Palestinians in Gaza who discovered opiate drug pills in their emergency aid bags of flour from the US:

"It's a free service! STFU! You're so entitled!"
So these are the kinds of fake "Covid safe" people @danitasteinberg.bsky.social associates with.

"You expect random strangers to wear respirators?!"

"She was working at her event!"

"Oh yeah. Well. It was a free event and I'm part of the clique Danita would rather pay attention to. STFU bitch!"
June 30, 2025 at 2:31 PM
The person was an employee at the venue. I’m sorry they said that to you. Ultimately, it’s only respirator-mandatory for attendees as it’s a public space - and all attendees were in respirators the entire time. Going forward, I will be clear that folks may encounter unmasked ppl/surgicals inside.
Hey @danitasteinberg.bsky.social
Why was a woman working at Masked at the Movies barefaced indoors until she saw me?!
