N is for Night Tide (1961) from my linocut #folkhorroralphabet an early Dennis Hopper film directed by Curtis Harrington about a woman called Mora who might be a mermaid. The film has an eerie carnival/boardwalk setting and atmosphere to match.

It is the 150th year anniversary of Qiu Jin's birth. It is an honor to translate the work of this amazing feminist poet. Just want to take some time today to honor her memory 💐

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Inspired by the Richard Brautigan poem of the same name, David Lowery's film 'A Ghost Story', Brian Eno's 'An Ending (Ascent)', existential unrest in turbulent times; a sense of watching and drifting and it all passing you by, the crushing weight of loneliness and the abject horror of a sheet ghost.

If you've ever read Casting the Runes by M.R. James, and wondered about the reference there to a Thomas Bewick illustration ("a woodcut of Bewick’s roughly torn out of the page"), I did some investigation into the matter three years ago:

Happy Columbo’s Day
Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.” “If the car’s gone,” “I’ll give you another cookie anyway” “because I love you.”

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
