Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

11. Tremors (1990) — re-watch. I was probably too young when I first saw this movie, but it's one of those foundational films that made me love horror. Always a favorite.

Sums it up nicely. Every time I see some "proship dni" in someone's bio I sigh heavily because most the time it doesn't mean anything at all.

Ubisoft rejecting a game about a formerly enslaved Black man returning to the South to fight for justice during Reconstruction for being "too political" tells you everything you need to know about about the rot at the core of everything.

i'm upset that ubisoft cancelled reconstruction-era assassin’s creed because i am an avid collector of games where you get to kill the klan and i want a third one

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

10. Knock at the Cabin (2023) — re-watch. One of the rare adaptations I feel is stronger than the source material.

8. The VVitch (2015) — re-watch. A modern classic! I've only seen this movie once before, but I really think it's worth all the hype.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

7. The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) — re-watch. This movie has a peculiar place in my heart for actually triggering a panic attack. I watch it out of spite now.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

It's officially October, so I'm starting a thread of all the horror films that I watch this month.

1. Sinners (2025) — somehow, I haven't seen this one yet, but it's probably the movie that I've been looking forward to the most.

I’ve been trying to put my various WIPs in some semblance of order, in the vague hopes of actually finishing something.

It’s not going well.

So uh. Yeah. Got this done ✅️

Do you like remote cabin horror and feeling really bad? This is the book for you!

Out on payhip now and coming soon to smashwords instead of amazon (bc it's taboo, tread cautiously and check CWs!!!)

payhip.com/b/aAUSq

A trope map for Fulgurite

t4t taboo relationship
Folk horror
Isolated cabin in the woods
Grief horror
ACAB
Storms & lightning
Complicated family dynamics
Weird (horny) dreams
Non-sequential storytelling
Uncle x nibling
Lichtenburg figure scars

The summer hikaru died x old gods of Appalachia

How far are you willing to go for the ones you love?

Luce Sullivan makes his yearly trip up to the isolated cabin he and his brother Michael bought decades before. He’s alone, and drowning in grief, and prepares to spend the time drunk to avoid thinking about the accident five years ago that took his brother from him and drove Michael’s child away after they survived a lightning strike. Jasper hasn’t made an effort to contact him once in all the years since they left, and Luce is afraid he lost both of them to that storm.

To his surprise, Jasper shows up in the middle of the night out of the blue. At first, Luce is elated. Is this finally the reconciliation he’s been yearning for all these years? But things turn more sinister as Luce realizes that Jasper isn’t quite right.

He grapples fear, isolation, and strange new feelings for Jasper, as a storm looms closer and closer, threatening a grand finale that neither of them are quite prepared for.
