Years ago, I revisited the first season of FREDDY’S NIGHTMARES so I decided over the last few weeks, it was finally time to revisit with season 2. Now I understand why I barely remember S2 from when I was a kid. Yikes. Here’s my write up: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/whatever-hap...

So in the last few weeks, I’ve had two cousins only a few years older than me pass away. Last week, my cousin Becky had two massive strokes (she’s 3 years older than me) & they’re not sure if she’s ever going to leave the hospital. Stuff going on with my mom too.
I’m just…no words.

Want to start a campaign to make movie pull quotes from movie critics once again.
I want to point out that for all the dunking going on here, the trailer includes pull quotes from multiple horror or horror adjacent filmmakers/creators and there's a tweet for each, so no they aren't solely relying on an Eli Roth quote to market the movie.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Any non-fascists still posting there seem to be in denial about this fact, which should be obvious by now.

When you stop using X then open it back up after a while, you realize how obviously it’s designed to elevate vicious jerks who share Musk and Trump’s cruelest, dumbest beliefs. Harder to see when you’re addicted to it; blazingly apparent from the outside looking in.
