Well, I *was* in a bad mood, but now I've got something to dig into later!

I think it's a common theme! Also the topic of Tracy Fahey's novella

Well, this is delightful.

A show about a neurodivergent-coded perimenopausal woman who takes a folkloric journey of self-discovery? Was this written just for me? Maybe!

And I was just thinking how Zabriskie was giving badass Ripley vibes

Released on September 4, 1981, the film has developed a cult following. Critics have noted its influence on later productions, most notably Cameron's own Aliens (1986).151

It is also notable for its production design and visual effects, which were created by James Cameron in one of his earliest filmmaking credits.

The Woman in the Yard is two-thirds of a great movie. Promising family drama, tense and claustrophobic setting, a mysterious supernatural villain. Not to mention some nice use of daytime scares. But the third act really falls apart!

Nine of wands, ace of wands, and Justice from the Pagan Otherworlds deck. In Justice a woman is facing away from the viewer, holding the sword aloft in her left hand and dangling the scales toward the ground in her right

Not even mad about drawing the Death card because look. at. him. A total badass.
A skeleton has wings made of arrows. He swings a scythe in the air as he steps on the head of a partially buried woman. Her hand sticks out of the ground, holding a red flower.

The Devil card is always pretty metal, but this one is exceptionally so
A squatting devil with bulbous, lopsided breasts hangs dong. Their belly is a bearded face and the navel is a hanging tongue. The devil's joints are made of faces. Two winged, chained beings float in the air above the devil

I've developed a bit of a tarot addiction, and I just love this strange and macabre twist on Tarot de Marseille.

These are from Tarot des Ambiguites from Artisan Tarot. The suits are severed arms (swords/spades), feet (wands/clubs), anatomical hearts (cups/hearts), and heads (pentacles/diamonds).
An armored hand grasps a severed, bleeding arm, which is holding a dagger A ruffed hand grips a severed leg by the ankle like a baton. The leg seems to be sprouting branches, which have also been chopped off A bloody heart on a goblet's stem A gold-colored head in profile, like one would see on a coin, except the head is severed and bleeding from the neck

Lmao "the poor straight men don't even get to exchange sexual favors" what the fuck
Screenshot from the article linked above: It is important to notice also that the fact that most men in positions of power are heterosexual means that aspiring male actors do not even get the chance to exchange sex for career advancement -their path to stardom gets summarily shut off.

I'm not sure who Psycho Goreman is for, but I thought it was pretty delightful. The main character is a complete psychopath (not the one in the title) and I am here for it.

I do not think we should put monkeys in charge of transporting infectious diseases. They can't be trusted with that sort of responsibility.
