I was reminded I did a list of Petty Freddy quotes for @dreadcentral.bsky.social because that’s the kind of journalism I want to see in the world.

I know SEO is beating all our asses, but if you have to do the “If You Like Sinners…” thing there are Black vampire movies, Black Southern Gothic films, etc. If you don’t have the range I will throw you suggestions, but can y’all please stop leading people to the whitest movies?
