TEXT: Salon Sinister. Meet Contributor Abigail Waldron, Artist of "I'm Going to Rid the World of People Like You". Abigail Waldron is a historian who specializes in queer American history. She is the Author of "Queer Screams: A History of LGBTQ+ Survival Through the Lens of American Horror Cinema" (2022) and is a contributing writer for Horror Press. The image is a collage made by Abigail featuring ET the alien sitting on a couch in a blue/green plaid robe and holding a beer. On the green table in front of him is a speak-n-spell, 4 beers, a stash box, a joint burning in a purple ash tray with purple, orange, and red smoke rising in a trippy, 70s way, a B&W picture of a 1950s-esque woman with a black triangle on her white shirt. Behind ET, there is the corner of a fireplace, tools to tend fire, 2 plants framing a window with green curtains, and outside there is a diver in a yellow speedo upside down with his arms out.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Abigail Waldron @bloodymilkcrate.bsky.social!

Abigail's work with collage absolutely floored us when we saw it and we were honored to add her pieces to Salon Sinister! Give her a follow and check out our first issue (physical copies now available) to see her amazing work!

Natty Gann!

This is how a generation of elementary/middle school students met John Cusack and viscerally understood the Great Depression

Frog sits at his desk, furiously scribbling a letter. From "The Letter" In *Frog and Toad Are Friends*

Frog hurried home. He found a pencil and a piece of paper. He wrote on the paper.

Get one!

One thing I’ll say about the Blair Witch: Girl loves a project.

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump.

It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

what if no cops in a horror?

Advice from Eugene -- just pay no attention to the police.

Born on this day on 9/22/1959:

Mark Patton, groundbreaking actor and interior designer, most famous for his roles as Joe Qualley in Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean (1982) & Jesse Walsh in Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1986), among others.

Every time I feel like I know a lot about the rise of fascism in Germany, I learn something new.

“No,” said Frog.

the art and words within have given us chills and hope for the future 🖤

support queer horror. buy queer horror. share queer horror. because queer stories inform human history, and though they may be suppressed, they're not going anywhere.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

treat yourself and crack open the first issue of salon sinister to creep yourself out with ell huang's poetry collection 😈

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.”

If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.

I LOVE to see such a public display of support for Reese

I think you’ve lost the plot, HD. Happens to the best of us
