a preliminary sketch of a crone. Aspergerian mom of an autistic son. I wrote Experimental Film and literally 100+ short stories. Out now: Little Horn, a collection, from Shortwave Publishing. I sing, make jewelry and doodle pretty monsters.

Imagine having the story of Bass Reeves before you and watering it down to Lone Ranger white bread nonsense.

18. From Beyond (1986) is part of the Stuart Gordon/Lovecraft Adaptations & it brings cosmicism to the modern world, which is to say thru horror comedy -- that our flesh is nothing but mud for uncaring things beyond our ken & our feeble, laughable pursuits are born out of impotence & fear alone. 😎👍

7. Exhuma (2024) has it all. It follows a geomancer and his ragtag group of occult healthcare providers as what starts as a tragic, generational ghost story erupts into something so strange & maddening that it sends them on a hellish quest that you won't believe until you see it.

5. Creepy (2016) it actually took me a day to work out how I felt about this one. Its nauseating & induced something insidious inside me until its cathartic/screaming finale. Its like being strangled slowly for 2 hrs before finally letting you scream. You're left uneasy & relieved when its done.

I've said this before, but it makes me insane that in an age of human civilization when the ultra-rich have hoarded over half of all wealth, the go-to visual shorthand for depictions of gluttony is still "fat"

mRNA flu vaccines have better immunogenicity and better efficacy than traditional flu jab, and can be developed, manufactured and updated faster.
By denying US market, Prasad has essentially killed any prospect of a realistic mRNA flu vaccine in any market.

My students have been studying Aztec codices for weeks and learning about the gods and the migration from Aztlan and different ways of history telling. This section culminated in them painting/drawing the codex of their own migrations to our university.
Today’s ethnohistory seminar is all activities on pictographically writing histories with this gem:

I really enjoyed that short sweet spot in the late 90s where we didn’t equate good taste with money or power, where *anyone* could have good taste - and when you could also shame people for having bad taste as is good and proper
