#NightTideMag’s Dark Days with Ray Walton rings in the new year with Body Heat (1981).
A sultry neo-noir that trades restraint for atmosphere, where desire drives the plot and judgment melts under pressure.
A perfect way to step into the year with eyes open. 👻📽️

DARK DAYS WITH RAY WALTON NIGHT 10: BODY HEAT (1981)
Dark Days rings in the new year with a sultry neo-noir that trades restraint for heat, asking desire to do the heavy lifting.

Happy holidays. Stay sane*, healthy, and safe.

hey friends let’s go make someone’s new year a little better, shall we?
Izolde is a delightful trans woman who comes to the trans nerd meet up regularly, and a valued member of the community.

Alas, she's going thru a rough patch. And it's the end of the month, and a shitty time to be seeking a job and new housing. Can you please help her survive until January? <3
rent fundraiser for this month, b/c it's mid-december and i'm still unemployed and at this point that is not changing before year end. i will bring in *some* amount of money this month but atm i'm assuming it's not gonna be a ton.

Stuck in bed waiting for the headache meds to MAYBE work so let's have some positivity. A thread on the movie moments that gave me the most hope in humanity this year
thinking about the scenes in cinema that gave me hope for humanity this year and there are actually a couple of really profound ones?

from THE scene in Sinners to the phone scene in Wake Up Dead Man to the breathing scene in Sorry, Baby

in ways big and small
there is good in us still

Cheers to you & yours for all the best in 2026. Let’s work hard to never let the evil grifter nazi racist bad guys win. To do great work. To be awesome role models. And to cherish each day as if it’s your last. 2025 taught me tomorrow can get taken away in the blink of an eye.🥂

Finished!

Fini!

Finito!

Finalizado!

I've finished the 1st draft of my MG ghost story The Ghost in Mitchell Bay with hours to spare. December 31 was my deadline.

Now, a brief celebration followed by a short break, then editing and more editing. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Publishing May 2026.

Going to start posting a Frogby a day on my ko-fi, which I keep forgetting to promote. It'll $5/month, it'll start tomorrow, some of them will be little bits of good cheer, Frogby cheering you on, others will just be sketches and little paintings I've done of Frogby, of which there are a great many.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.

If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.

By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

My goal is to pop one unexpected card/letter in the mail each week. I’ve lost touch with a lot of treasured friends in recent years. (I purchased some beautiful art cards from @kathleenmaunder.bsky.social a few weeks ago with this project in mind.) Will report back on my #Reconnection efforts. 💌
#Reconnection is a worthwhile endeavour to pursue in 2026, as my good friend @abovewill.bsky.social suggested to me this week. Skip the AI companion bots the techbros desperately want you to share yourself with, and instead talk with the friends you’ve been meaning to get in touch with for ages. ❤️🙏
Yes, you can still stay in the loop with what's going on internationally & nationally, like by reading newspapers in your public library, but for the rest of 2025 it's a good idea to be more active & engaged in your local communities, and to keep up to date with the good things out there. ❤️🙏

I set intentions for the new year instead of resolutions. I had a few in mind for 2026 to keep up the momentum of 2025, despite its many hardships. But then I thought about how I’ve spent at least half the year in burnout and the rest in functional fear state and realized what I need most:

Holds just as true for 2026.
Do what you need to do in 2025.

Going into 2026 a lot like I went into 2025 (and the year before that.)

If you have the capacity to donate to C&B, please do so and support this non-profit that’s been an outstanding resource for film lovers around the world for years & years. #filmsky #scriptsky #art #movies #Hollywood
We failed. “However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.” We have decided to extend our fundraiser until January 31st, 2025, and hope for a better outcome. Hope is all we have left now.

I don’t care what progress you made in your professional career in 2025. If your biggest accomplishment this year was just remaining hopeful in the current world we live in, I’m proud of you. #scriptsky

Also would love to take on some other work in the new year including coloring gigs, cover art, music or movie poster art, event flyers, etc. I've got years of design, typography, illustration and printing under my belt, would love to work with you on some cool stuff. alexandragallant.com

If you know of any roles, I'm super flexible, looking for roles where I can use key aspects of my (science) communication skillset including design for digital and print publishing, copywriting, web strategy, UX writing, social media marketing and event production. Looking for my next challenge!

2025 was one of the worst years of my life, I lost my job of 16 years in February (I'm still looking for a new one, if you know of any design/comms jobs), so while 2025 still sucks, my art has gotten a chance to grow and for that, I am incredibly grateful for the time #ArtvsArtist #ArtvsArtist2025
