Had a great conversation with the Final Girls Feast podcast about Rosemary's Baby: witchcraft, feminism, "hysteria" and of course food!
Happy Friday! The formerly cursed episode is no longer cursed! That's right, our Rosemary's Baby episode is now live! We were joined by Payton McCarty-Simas and @mediawitch.bsky.social to discuss this witchy film! Don't miss out, give it a listen!

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

Getting to host an episode of #TheLastDriveIn, meeting mutants at last year’s Jambo, staying up all night for the Nightmare-A-Thon, and meeting @therealjoebob123.bsky.social and @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social is still my favorite part of my life online.

Happy birthday @themutantfam.bsky.social 🎂
Hey everybody, have you heard the news? It's

Hantavirus is a big deal here. So is bubonic plague. Neither is relegated to "history"; we lose a few people to them annually in NM. It's just rarely a wealthy celebrity.

And this is yet another reason why we need a robust public health system.

Gene Hackman died of heart disease, his wife died of hantavirus about 1 week prior, authorities say
The partially mummified bodies of Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were discovered in February at their home in New Mexico.

I do wonder if the "witch hunt" narrative promulgated by this asshole will ever go away; so tiresome and offensive
When Cheeto’s the witch, everything’s a witch hunt!

Even a 2018 dated report from Nature Conservancy informs everyone except Donald Trump that where people live, wildfires erupt. Check out "wildland urban interface" on this map.
