Very grateful that @sharai.bsky.social wrote this, because there is absolutely a disconnect in even progressive white people's minds where we instantly recognize the first word as a slur, but not the second.
That disconnect is where our privilege lives all scary season. Unlearning is a good thing!

Hey horror community, we need to have a talk... It's time to collectively drop the use of "spook" and "spooky". Here's why. Article by @sharai.bsky.social #horrorsky

Re: republicans working on legislation to censor lgbtq+ content and people in the name of “protecting the children from pornography”
Since this is currently before committee, I did up a list of all the Senators on the Commerce, Science, and Transport Committee and their phone numbers.
Names in bold are Senators up for re-election next year.
