For all my ARC readers/podcasts/journalist friends! #POPCORNDISABILITIES is now available to read via @Netgalley. #tcmparty
Breaking into the Popcorn Disabilities talk to remind everyone I do new PD posts over at The Film Maven. I also did this piece today which I hope the evening crowd will read.
Didn't plan on it but the discourse around Sydney Sweeney and CHRISTY'S box office had me going down the rabbit hole, discussing misogyny, celebrity culture, and how much the response to her is fueled by ethical consumerism. [Paywall]

Where's the mess? Where's the horniness? Us Wuthering Heights girlies ain't giving our souls to the book because it's romantic. It's because it's Gothic, and base, and repressed! This better be a trailer bait and switch that's all I'm saying.

Notice both King and Shaheen going on the news and outright saying they know the vote will fail. Their answer is the equivalent of “🤷♀️”
Shaheen: "I think we can get a bipartisan bill out of the Senate that will address this [healthcare] issue. And if not, we know that the voters are going to know who's on their side and who's going to hold them accountable."

Can you call Chuck Schumer right now? No matter where you live, can you take a few minutes and tell Schumer that if Senate Democrats cave you will not support Senate Dems as long as he is leader?
