Sinking my teeth into my spooky season reading “early” 🧛‍♀️ “Thirst” -can’t go wrong when it starts with a quote about the Bloody Countess Elizabeth Bathory. 🧛‍♀️ “The Historian” listening to the audiobook which brings back memories of Anne Rice’s Lestat telling his story.

If you are going to pick up a book this fall make it @tananarivedue.bsky.social “The Reformatory”. Incredibly written. Draws you in with raw and gut wrenching storytelling that reminds us all of the strength in telling our stories — not just for us but for all of those whose voices were silenced.

Common sense : If you receive an out of office auto reply do not send a “reminder” prior to the person’s return to office. 🙄🧐

Inspirational work by artists at Syzygy on the theme of “silent violences” covering topics from femicide to intersectional “bodies”. Looking forward to giving my talk today on shifting the gaze on female embodied knowledge by ta(l)king back our stories. So many ideas to bring home with me…

"I don't know what's more difficult...being colored or being a woman." Jacqueline Pinkowitz's new essay in Black Camera looks at how Black Gothic + Black bodies in LOVECRAFT COUNTRY "interrogates the embodied, physical horrors of race & enslavement." @projectmuse.bsky.social

On the left, a screenshot of the article "The Black/Body Gothic: Exhuming and Transcending Racial Mixing, Passing, and Slavery's Afterlives in Lovecraft Country (2020)." On the right, an image from the 2020 series LOVECRAFT COUNTRY in which Ruby, a Black woman in the 1950s dressed in red, stares out her window, a burning cross on her lawn visible in the reflection.
