Trauma therapist, horror fan, writer. Tired.
The best episode of The X-Files? S2, Ep.14: 'Die Hand Die Verletzt'.
Profile pic is Alice Palmer from 'Lake Mungo'.
I'm enjoying 'The Beauty'... BUT we need to talk about how the show does not consider Rebecca Hall to be the most 'perfect' version of herself.

What?!

I love a good found footage mockumentary! Lake Mungo, Savageland, Horror in the High Desert, Butterfly Kisses...

Which ones have I missed?

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

What scene from a horror movie still haunts you to this day?
Lake Mungo, everytime 🖤

Big love to all of those who hoped for Kate McCallister but got Delia Deetz. It is a sad day 🖤
I can't believe that Catherine is gone.
RIP to that glorious creature: the world just lost the last of its magic & sass. 🖤

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.

His health is declining.

Public outrage might save his life.

Say his name:

Demand the Release of Rodney Taylor from ICE Detention

Other half is away so of course I'm watching all my unsettling comfort shows: Wire in the Blood, Messiah, Touching Evil and - the best show for a woman hanging alone in a flat - Luther.

Is it just me that does this? Whhhhhy?

Sod the Golden Globes for overlooking 'Sinners'. There is much more important awards news... Indy won best performance!

Just watched 'The Rule of Jenny Pen' - absolutely terrifying. The horror and powerlessness of elder abuse isn't explored enough in films (or anywhere), especially when victims are men. Powerful stuff.

Suprised I've not seen more people talk about 'Mountainhead'. Pretty close to grim reality but also entertaining to see a handful of unbearable dude-tech-bros laid out as the completely insecure ass-hats that they are.
