I actually think it’s the perfect choice. It’s a bone bleached by sun, the 500 year old styrofoam still intact on polluted soil, a noxious fume billowing into sky, corporate minimalist interior, a splotch on an x-ray, the afterlives of the present.
Pantone’s 2026 color of the year is technically not a color at all — meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world’s color authority.

If like me you haven't watched The X-Files and want to but feel overwhelmed, here is a list of essential episodes!
My coworker told me she wanted to rewatch The X-Files, so I shared the Everything is Scary essential episode list which is somehow ten years old.
Looking through it now, I think this list holds up!

Can't help it, I'm a sucker for characters rediscovering themselves and making new choices when memory is missing or being recovered, slowly, finding identity through healing and experience. Probably why the MC of Misplaced starts off with some amnesia!
Amnesia isn't just a classic soap opera twist! It's also an excellent way to kick off a speculative narrative. Here are five stories in which our heroes wake up with no memory and mysteries to unravel

Highly recommend! Especially insightful, vulnerable, humourous, and terrifying, these collections taught me so much about horror and the way pop culture can inform and help process our personal narratives.

As a writer, I find Alan Wake 2 pretty relatable: guy writes a manuscript, sits down to it later and thinks "I have no recollection of writing this". Edits the shit out of it because "what kind of monster drafted this", has to fill in plot, add new characters, change the ending.
