I adored the new SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT, which is better than its trashy, misogynistic predecessor in practically every way. Justice for Corey Cunningham! My review for VV:

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

OTHER drops on Shudder today. It's a little rough around the edges but the central mystery is compelling, there are some decent scares, and Olga Kurylenko is terrific. My review for VV.

My wife reviewed the new Toxic Avenger and we watched the screener and then she bought a ticket to see it again and then you went and followed her and read her work, yeah?
Me, on THE TOXIC AVENGER (2025), for VV. Out today and, if you're lucky, unrated! This is such a fun, wild ride and I WILL be seated opening night ready to laugh my ass off again.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

It’s not only that trans people are not an issue or debate. It’s that the Polari Prize is meant to be for LGBTQ+ people. If the Jhalak Prize, for writers of colour, longlisted someone who was Islamophobic then that too would be inappropriate for the prize specifically as well as for being ethical

The Polari Prize issued a statement saying it believes its longlistees can hold “different positions on substantive issues.” This is like long listing a racist with authors of color then telling everyone it’s a mere “different position on a substantive issue”. Trans people are a fact. Not an “issue”
You can't call yourself "a prize for LGBTQ+ literature" and longlist a self-proclaimed terf. Anyone can give any prize to anyone they like, of course. But don't pretend you're a prize for my community when you're platforming someone who's actively fighting against it.
