Just say you don’t want to reckon with the ongoing effects of COVID and move on. Don’t act like your decision to stop caring is based on scientific evidence when it isn’t. There are thousands of studies showing just how dangerous this virus is. We are not wrong, we are just early.

Time to share my story too! Long story short, I was offered a monthly column creating a deep cuts watchlist since they are my specialty. Everything was going great, I was given a platform to talk about my favorites. Now how it all ended…

Black women film critics and writers have a hard enough time in this space doing their actual jobs. I’m so proud of my friend for speaking up and loudly about her experience working for this horror outlet.

Note: though she’s offering this for free, support her and add funds while you’re there.

If you can EVEN believe it, I've finished all twelve illustrations for the Lynch calendar! As usual I started losing my mind a little at the end so Inland Empire turned out unexpectedly wacky. I'll be placing the print order soon, please order now if you def want one!

This is what I mean when I say that present-day covid denialism is right wing. It was a plan born of corporatists and wholly adopted by centrists and even leftists eager to pretend the pandemic was over, which should immediately give anyone thinking about it pause.

Hey, if you’re attending #TIFF50 next week, please consider wearing a high quality mask (like a KN95). I don’t want to get sick and I don’t want you to get sick! Let’s keep each other safe from airborne illness this year. Cool? COOL! I promise you no one will care. Always happy to give mask recs! 😷

Using my friend’s Jewish name when she is an outspoken anti-Zionist who has been marching for 20 months is really something else.

I wasn’t going to say anything else beyond my original reply about the event last night but conflating this with what’s happening in Palestine is so out of pocket. Unbelievable.

Our event started at 6pm. When I arrived at 6pm on the dot, they had the surgical mask on. But yes, a surgical still poses risks and I will mention that next time.

Yes, for attendees and it’s enforced with free respirators available. This was a venue employee. Next time I will be more clear that folks may encounter surgicals on employees so they can make a more informed decision about attending or not.

It is respirator-required and enforced for attendees, with free masks available. The person in a surgical was an employee of the venue. Doing my best here! Next time I will inform folks they might encounter surgicals on venue employees so they can make a more informed decision about attending or not
