The government won on most of its charges, including convicting defendants for moving a box of radical zines.
It was and is surreal!! It is unthinkable that the guilty verdict has come from
"To my astonishment, prosecutors had introduced my seven-year-old analysis of feminism’s relationship to horror cinema as 'evidence of ideologically driven intent' the previous day."

This is horrifying
delighted to see @reproutopia.bsky.social in @theintercept.com, but not delighted that the state is using their gorgeous movie review essay, first published in Commune(!), to prosecute anti-fascists as terrorists... ridiculousness abounds!

Thank you! I've heard several people say this. I'm very touched.
Imagine my surprise!!
Full solidarity with the Prairieland Defendants. And thanks to @natashalennard.bsky.social - not only for the vital work she does at @theintercept.com (which we should all support) - but for being the person at COMMUNE magazine who edited the essay in 2019 in the first place.
Thanks ✨
Sophie Lewis' (@reproutopia.bsky.social ) Enemy Feminisms is a fantastic book!

Thank you!

A scary movie shrinks the world’s horrors down into, not manageable exactly, but bounded, feelable parcels. In a landscape dense with quiescent cultural products, horror is antianesthetic.

hitting desalination plants, and then the oil fields, triggering oil-contaminated rain. i hope iran's fresh water supply holds out but this feels intentional.
After a couple of weeks during which the Femonationalist French collective Nemesis has been making headlines, this review by @dtortorici.bsky.social of @reproutopia.bsky.social's new book 'Enemy Femnisms' in the lastest issue of @nplusonemag.com has been very enlightening. now on to the real thing.
“One turns to fictional horrors because there are so many horrors in reality. Where else, we ask, to put the feelings, pending revolution? A scary movie shrinks the world’s horrors down into, not manageable exactly, but bounded, feelable parcels.”— @reproutopia.bsky.social

Can't wait!! Godspeed to you. Unrelatedly, a crazy thing about my week last week was learning that my "Satanic Death Is Real" piece is part of the Prairieland terrorism trial 🤯
That's so exciting! I'm so failing to figure out what this next book is 👀👀👀
Thank you so much, Jon! I had your book open while writing this
Enormously grateful to @reproutopia.bsky.social for this piece: not only an excellent review of books exemplifying some of the trends within contemporary horror criticism but also a wonderful exploration of the collectivity that draws us to horror in the first place: massreview.org/2026/03/03/s...
"I more than once mentally thanked Lisowski in Uncanny Valley Girls for the respect she affords films like Antichrist & The Ring merely by refraining from jamming the square peg of horror into liberal feminism’s round hole."
Me on horror + feminism, now & in the '70s: massreview.org/2026/03/03/s...
The attitude @zefrrr.bsky.social adopts for her horror analysis resonates with Avgi Saketopoulou’s vindication of “traumatophilia,” an approach to woundedness that refrains from pathologizing the kind of scar-tracing self-touching at the heart of UNCANNY VALLEY GIRLS: massreview.org/2026/03/03/s...
Thank you for this! I'll have a look!
Ooh no, it is on my list though! Thank you for the recommendation
WAIT shit I got it the wrong way around in this skeet obviously: it's UNCANNY VALLEY GIRLS by Zefyr Lisowski and SCREAM WITH ME by Eleanor Johnson 🤦🏻♀️
