Enormously grateful to @reproutopia.bsky.social for this piece: not only an excellent review of books exemplifying some of the trends within contemporary horror criticism but also a wonderful exploration of the collectivity that draws us to horror in the first place: massreview.org/2026/03/03/s...

And once you call your congressperson, hit redial and let the staffers know you're opposed to the illegal wars of adventure being carried out with your tax dollars, to exploit resources from others and kill children, which is all we seem to have money for! Calls count more than emails! Call and call

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass.
You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

Seeing a lot of people sharing the Trans Continental Pipeline, which is good for those Kansans who can and wish to exit the state, but for those who cannot, there are other organizations you can support! Please share these as well! 👇

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.
They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
GO DONATE.

Just to add to this: the notion of "peaking" is a veiled form of comparison/success culture and it is a POISON. What others think of your work is none of your business; what YOU think of your work is none of your business also! Just make the things that give you joy!

NOW is the time to make calls to your reps about KOSA, SCREEN act, section 230 and more
Call your legislators. Speak to office aides. Leave messages. Do so every day. Be loud and annoying. Get family and friends to join in.

anyone else ever feel like they've written a ton because every sentence was like carving out a marble block, in terms of sheer concentration, only to discover you've managed like one slim paragraph
what is that? except bad, for starters

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.
Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

the winter olympics events that aren't about making a rink of people who appreciate sequin placement as horny as possible are about checking in to see if a 19 year old from the taiga doesn't die popping off a snowbound cliff for funsies
the summer olympics are about...going faster

i love catching the big air highlights cause it's the most laid back people you have ever seen, wearing baggy snowproof skater clothes, throwing themselves off a mountain at extremely high speed and doing rotations that require quick math cause how many was that? many. possibly too many for me

1. it's not?
2. what's "true" in a very obvious sense is that they're going to try their best to MAKE it true and still replace every job they can with it despite it, again, not being true
3. it then follows that the way to "think seriously" about it is to be as skeptical & hostile to it as possible
