I’ve been trying to figure out ways to help raise money for food banks so I’m going to giveaway a 1 year sub to @fangoria.bsky.social (out of my own pocket). Just show me a receipt that you donated at least $10 to any food bank (DMs are ok). I’ll notify the recipient on 11/3! #HorrorFam let’s go!

If you can donate food, here's a handy list of items! 🧵 (1/4)

(graphic came from FB)

This was learned from those in need

Snap Benefits feeding 42 million Americans may stop in November because of the shutdown.

1. Boxed Mac & Cheese (common) = useless without milk & butter (uncommon)
2. Boxed milk is a treasure for cereal loving kids.
3. Pasta and Spaghetti sauce are everywhere.
4. Canned good help more - IF opener included (or pop tops)
5. Cooking oil is a rare luxury but essential
6. Spices, salt, and pepper are true gifts.
7. Tea and coffee make people feel cared for.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. Fresh produce brings huge smiles.
10. Seeds are great in warmer months - growing food helps!
11. Fresh meat is rare.
12. Tuna and crackers make an easy lunch
13. Hamburger Helper needs ground beef to matter.
14. PB & J are common - sandwich bread isn't.
15. Butter or margarine feels like gold.
16. Eggs are a prized commodity.
17. Cake mix & frosting let kids celebrate birthdays.
18. Dish soap is pricey and ALWAYS needed.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury - women often cry when they get them.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

This regime could authorize emergency funding for it but it's choosing not to.

Plz keep reposting - we will all need to donate in Nov 2025.

There is a book cover and an official title for the #Newsies book, and I am so incredibly delighted!!! ❤️ Preorder links should be available very soon, and I will share those as soon as I can.

Book cover for "Newsies, Newsies - Read All About It! Essays on the film and Broadway productions." Edited by Emily Hamilton-Honey; forward by Vincent DiGirolamo. The cover shows a black and white photo of a denacing newsboy. The text is black on a yellow background, and loose pages of newsprint frame the edges.

New article out today! This piece explores the animation reference performers who, despite rarely receiving credit, gave body and authenticity to the Disney princesses 👸

I'd love it if you gave it a read, especially if you're invested in Disney Studies 💖

Ink-stained women: Animation
reference performers and the body of
the Disney princess 
Abstract
This article argues for a reconsideration of the developmental processes behind Disney’s iconic hand-
drawn princess characters. It does so by examining the reference performances for Cinderella, Ariel and
Tiana, whose live-action actors inspired the iconic designs and mannerisms that made it to screen yet are
so rarely recognized for their contributions. Through sustained analysis of these women’s work as well as
how that work was understood and utilized by Walt’s artists, this article reveals previously unseen aspects
of patriarchy built into the creative structures of traditional Disney animation. Ultimately, by foreground-
ing the labour of the women who portrayed these characters in their earliest stages of conceptualization,
this piece argues for greater awareness of the multifold layers of performance that the Disney princesses
embody.
