Thank you Greyhound!

This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now.

And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.

Things Will Be Different is now on HULU. Thank you to everyone who’s supported the film so far and to everyone who’s diving in here for the first time. Spin some clocks, sit back, and enjoy🫡 🕰️

Digital illustration of Johnnie Redmayne, a young man with brown skin, black hair, a black jacket and a red shirt. His head is tipped back with his mouth wide open to chug from a bottle he is holding in his hand, full of golden brown liquid (it's beer ok he's underage drinking don't worry about it)

Don't think this ever made it to bsky so here's Johnnie demonstrating a not recommended (but relatable) way to respond to current US politics 🎨 #fanart #LordHuron

Photo of the front side of the keychain, a cartoony representation of Buck Vernon looking a little grumpy perhaps with a hand to his head and a cigarette. A plume of curly smoke rises from it.

Reverse side, Buck now looks shocked as Johnnie Redmayne takes form as a ghost in the smoke, hand reaching and mouth open as he asks if he can get a cigarette too

You GUYS I got the cutest keychain from @itz-flameteeth.bsky.social of Buck trying to have a smoke only for the ghost of Johnnie to arrive because he wants to bum one for himself LMFAO

I love #LordHuron fans and fanmade merch so much!

Thank you so very very much, such an honor I’m still in disbelief whenever I look on my bookshelf and remember. 🥹 (and especially thank you for the crew shout-outs like our incredible costume designer Hayley McCune!)

This movie’s great! I had a lot of fun interviewing the great Jane Badler about it in Fango issue 23 shop.fangoria.com/products/fan...

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

It’s always a good time to watch RRR again! 🕺🕺🔥🤝🌊🐅

FYI
(And yes, this counts as activism - so stop doomscrolling and get it done)

Trim Season (2023) Emma (Bethlehem Million) is in the proverbial cinematic pickle, having been sacked from her job, instantly hitting the “necking sauvignon blanc straight from the bottle” stage and being given notic…

I reviewed Trim Season for Warped Perspective if anyone fancies checking out my thoughts on the film...
warped-perspective.com/2024/06/trim...

This one is beyond egregious.

TRIM SEASON is now available on STARZ. Really proud of @arielvida.bsky.social's Witchy Weed craziness and am excited for more folks to check it out!

Political neutrality is a fundamentally political stance, and a fundamentally conservative one, because it means you think nothing about the sociopolitical environment in which you exist needs to be interrogated, challenged, or changed.

Cinema, like all art, is inherently political. Not choosing a side might seem apolitical, but it’s not. It’s just cowardly. Stand by the fans being hurt by the current administration, and your talent that is vocal about it, rather than turning a blind eye

“As long as they’re a decent human being” 🙄

This breaks my heart so much. I worked there and while it has always been flawed there was so much good work done by incredible people

This is so bleak

I know people mean well by sharing that "your validity is not dictated by an executive order" post, but it's not about validity.

No one needs anyone's permission to be "valid," but trans folks need legal protection, healthcare, and access to resources like healthcare.

Harassment of people of all different backgrounds is going to increase sharply. Wanna make a difference? Take a free online bystander intervention training from Right To Be. Here's one on 11/14. We all need to learn how to watch out for each other. Please sign up.

A grid layout of nine illustrations with text captions for each one. Each one is one of the World Enders or associated character. Top to bottom, left to right, are Alex Redmayne, Dale Redmayne, Johnnie Redmayne, "Penny Clicks" St. Claire, "Cid", Rigo Sandoval, "Lady Moonbeam", The World Ender, and Charlie Powell.

Part 1 of a little ongoing personal #LordHuron #fanart project of mine. World Enders! Lots of them! Portraits, headcanon details, bits of fun info. This set are all canon characters, though plenty of the details aren't themselves canon - gotta fill in those gaps in our info! 🎨

I don’t have much to say that hasn’t already been said and the last few years have taught me that processing on social media isn’t as good for my mental health as it feels in the moment. Please don’t take my silence for apathy, but I too am heartbroken and exhausted

You deserve even more!!! 🥰

Always blown away by the phenomenal art of @tinylongwing.bsky.social with characters from Vide Noir!!! 🥹 You captured Moonbeam’s essence so gorgeously, I couldn’t love it more!! 🌙

It's us
