One takeaway for Canadians watching what’s happening in the United States right now is that we need to put more pressure on governments / parties to strengthen democratic institutions and the fourth estate

You can also defend democracy by supporting the work of journalists and civil society groups

#nowwatching Ferat Vampire (1982) — I never thought I’d have more than a bootleg (?) DVD of this, but the folks at @severinfilms.bsky.social are doing the lord’s work. If anyone wants my old copy, I’ll ship it free of charge to a new home. #filmsky #physicalmedia
