It's absolutely okay if you want to keep your own old-media appreciation accounts free of politics,
Please, just don't follow me assuming I'm the same way.
This is my personal account, after all. I'm too queer & chronically ill to ignore rampant fascism.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
It's the first Valentines Day in many years that I'm single, so I'm gonna have a fun little day by myself.
I'm thinking I'll play silly dating sims, watch Sweet Charity, & get a bit zooted.
How about you guys?

Released #OTD in 1975 #filmsky
After the movie was released, there was a feminist demonstration against it, decrying it as being sexist.
During an interview about the film, Paula Prentiss was asked if she thought men secretly want a "perfect" wife. She replied, "The dumb ones do."

this thread is harrowing but these lawyers are fucking heroic
So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas?
It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.
