Are any of the zip-up hoodies lightweight? (I donβt like them too heavy, as I get hot quickly; I have MS, so I have βheatingβ issues π)

My genre preference is also horror οΏΌπͺβ°οΈπ₯
Good. Itβs horrible for the job market, creativity, and the environment.
A soulless endeavor that is sucking the life out of countless industries and endeavors. (And itβs not even intelligent.)

Another #horror for October: SOMEBODYβS WATCHING ME! used to be known as the βlost #JohnCarpenter filmβ because of its scarcity on home video. It stars Lauren Hutton; itβs an obvious homage to Hitchcockβs REAR WINDOW, but the voyeurism is reversed (echoes of BLACK CHRISTMAS) π

First #horror movie for October: BAD SEED, which isnβt really about an evil child, but a straight-up SOCIOPATH (a book Iβm reading by @patricgagne.com). A remake of a 1956 film, this has few horror elements, and a lot of bizarre adult behavior. Stars David Carradine and Lynn Redgrave in wacky roles.

The industry shouldnβt even give this air. Itβs an insult to everyoneβall those REAL LIVE PEOPLEβwho bust their asses to create entertainment worth watching. I know too many people who work in film and TV who are struggling for work to support this π©Enough already.

I'll bet most of them didn't read that bill. I'm so disgusted. It doesn't just cut healthcare and climate protections, it adds $150 billion to military spending (air and missile defense and investment into the "Golden Dome"). Large tax breaks go to millionaires. $15 billion to "Trump accounts."

When it feels like the worldβs falling apart, my best recommendation is to read and watch #horror.

Jessamyn St. Germain is a deluded train wreck. But she is convinced she will be a star. She just needs to be discovered. And she will do anything to make that happen.
She is luminescent. She is grace. She IS Maria. SHEβS A LAMB!

Itβs likely illegal, probably fascist, but it doesnβt matter what color you are at this point; itβs just anti-immigrant:

Iβve seen multiple reports of LEGAL permanent residents being detained or deported based on very dubious claims or basically nothing, many times when going to renew regular immigration paperwork. Itβs incredibly disturbing.

I happened to have read βThe Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades before Roe v.
