An image of a book in front of a television. The book’s cover is yellow with red lettering. At the top of the cover is the series title: “Constellations: Studies in Science Fiction Film and TV”. Below that is an image of a fiery, three-headed dragon set against a blue backdrop. Beneath the image is the book’s individual title: “Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster”. The author’s name is underneath. To the right of the book is a pile of copies of the same title. To its left is a Bandai vinyl figure of King Ghidorah in the original blue/rainbow colour scheme.

On Wednesday, Israel killed 33 Palestinians, including 12 children, in its latest violations of the Gaza ceasefire. Those killed include Palestinian families trying to return home and others caught in Israeli attempts to assassinate Hamas leaders.

Israel kills 33 Gazans in a single night. It’s part of a new deadly status quo, Palestinians say.

If you want a model of how to do Kaiju scholarship, look no further than @chrisstewardson.bsky.social's great book on Ghidorah, the Three-headed Monster! Snappy & accessible, but wide-ranging and informed by deep knowledge of relevant historical, political and genre contexts. Highly recommended!!

I like making up my own double bills. GODZILLA VS. HEDORAH with HOUSE, TARGETS with MADHOUSE, etc. It’s fun! Here’s a list of double bills I add to now and again.

Fantasy Double Bills
Movies paired together because of shared themes, similar premises, connected histories, or complementary styles. Films are arranged in their double bills side by side.

After the genocide some signs of life have slowly started to return food is back in the markets, fruits and vegetables are available again, as well as gas, cleaning supplies, and medicines.
But we’re still trying to stand back up after everything we lost.

I want to be able to support my family.

resharing for Godzilla’s 71st.

There’s a lot that I wish I’d done better and/or differently, but I wrote this out of love for these beautiful films. I hope bits of it can be useful. Here’s to 71 more years of Godzilla.

Please give what you can to support Jakhi McCray.

A screenshot from Jakhi McCray’s fundraiser. It says, “Free Jakhi McCray Fundraiser! Jakhi McCray is a committed organizer in the Palestine and abolition movements and beloved member of many communities across New York and New Jersey. He is facing federal persecution for allegedly setting fire to police vehicles belonging to the 83rd precinct in Brooklyn, New York. The NYPD estimates $800,000 worth of damages and regards the charred remains of these cars as a direct attack on the police and the carceral system that they enable. Jakhi turned himself in on Monday, July 21, 2025. The next day, in a small but significant early win, he was released on a $300,000 signature bond into house arrest at his family home in New Jersey. He is currently living with his mother, stepfather, and siblings.” A second screenshot from Jakhi McCray’s fundraiser. It says, “At the age of 21, Jakhi faces a charge that carries a minimum sentence of 5 years of incarceration and a maximum of 20 years. In a letter he wrote to the movement prior to turning himself in, Jakhi spoke from a place of deep moral clarity and fortitude, stating: "I'm not, nor was l ever, scared. This scare tactic is nothing compared to other black people who are beaten and/or murdered, and their names dragged through the mud as the media does damage control for the officers that did it. It's not new to Palestinians and Arabs that are being assassinated, deported, and harassed. I've met immigrants that live under daily paranoia, not knowing whether ICE goons will bust through their doors and kidnap their families."
