Doing a pinned intro post!

I'm Christine, horror screenwriter, film essayist, editor, and podcaster.

I live in the desert and I cook a lot.
I've been thinking about this all morning.

When you're that wealthy, magical thinking becomes real.

These are the people we're dealing with.

Hey so if you see your senator in this list, could you please call them tomorrow and tell them that you’re mad because they voted to kill the entire hemp farm industry, including your buddy Derek in Oregon?

Thanks, buddy.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

I can't wish myself into success.
I can't will myself into a career.
I can't force people to see me.
I can't control anything outside myself.

Actual icon. The modern horror landscape wouldn't be the same without her, not to mention her outstanding work across many other genres. In many ways, it's wild that her last name was Hill, because she moved mountains.
Happy Birthday to the late Debra Hill, co-creator of Halloween (she was raised in Haddonfield, NJ) and the force behind such sleepover classics as Clue, Adventures in Babysitting, The Dead Zone and Big Top Pee-Wee.

Please note that our reps are not more informed or savvy or masterfully strategic than we are.

They’re just people, often extremely ill-informed, compromised, and arrogant.

Never take this kind of guff from these clowns.

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

Have R senators? (Like me?) Call Schumer’s office to tell him you will never donate to another D senate campaign again as long as he’s Senate leader. Tell him this deal is a shameful joke and a betrayal.

(202) 224-6542
I just did this and if nothing else it was cathartic. I said I would make it my life’s mission to make sure there’s a primary challenger for any D involved in this deal, it’s fucking embarrassing.
So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

This vote has not happened yet. Call your Senators, especially your Democratic Senators, and tell them that a deal without protection NOW for health insurance tax credits is unacceptable.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Katy Perry's new video is a play on the Final Destination series.

I continue to be irritatingly fascinated by her creative choices.
