Thanks for writing this, it was very funny and also rewarding to read your informed critique. I felt overall Scott had contempt for his subject which is…not the hot take he thinks it is

Accurate tho 🖤

Happy birthday fellow Scorpio, we always bring the sexy ♏️

It will be satisfying to see it articulated!

I would actually like to read what you have to say - I was very disappointed by it

It would be difficult but the alternative is death, so I can understand the appeal. 🖤

Love this cover, never seen it before 🖤

Ah that first one you’ve made me see in a new way. I’ve always felt a little confused / annoyed by VH gushing over Mina b/c VH is generally awful, but seeing that quote separated from the context, it’s actually very lovely 🖤

What about you? As in what is your fave 🖤

There are two that I can’t choose between

‘We seem to be drifting to some terrible doom.’

And

‘…to live in a new house would kill me’

🖤

Hmmn yes I wouldn’t be able to advise but definitely seems worth exploring . Your work on this seems valuable to me and you deserve to be compensated in the same way that your speakers are. 🖤 Also might help actually create some change!

On a more positive note, if somewhat capitalist, have you ever thought of monetising eg accessible conference consulting or something? These people would surely rather pay than think for themselves.

It’s like, did Covid not happen? Did we not all learn how to do video calls? Would it cost so much to press the Teams meeting on your previous calendar invites?

Will be submitting an abstract that was accepted for another Gothic conference with fancy dinners and such, that I wasn’t able to attend because guess what? Wasn’t accessible 👀
My paper may not be accepted but I will certainly be an attend either way because guess what? You made it accessible 🖤

In fairness I think to different people it means different things eg according to Google it means light / shining in Arabic 🖤

I had a friend in my primary school
class whose name was Lamia 👀

I like this post a lot. My boyfriend once pointed out the heritage of Puritanism in the USA and for me it speaks to the current administration eg route from Oliver Cromwell to Trump via the Mayflower. Especially this second (forever?) term. But also the wider point you made is really powerful

This is a class issue that no one thinks about -thank you for highlighting Ray

Needed to see this today. Thank you Gabino
