Scissors of Evil

Hell yeah awesome! Hand sewing is definitely slow but fun, ironing seams is probably the most important thing but I am bad at remembering to do that

There's always at least one old sewing and crafting book section and anything 80s and below will have really good instructions

Opshop and these kind of bad boys have saved my life so many times. If you want scans or photos of a process I'll send them to you

You need that surefit dress kit level of tutorial, what kind of sewing knowledge are you after?

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

Yes! It's so wonderfully raspy and awful and the contrast of this fragile thing that has such a weighty presence, it should be so easy to shove away but it's so unsettling that getting even a step closer is horrifying

It doesssss!

And so obviously not human, not even moving like a human does when it's in motion. A Thing! A Thing you have brought into your home and called your father and lost your family to! Incredible movie, the blood was hammer horror bright and the phrase wet chewing has rewritten my brain in the worst way

I love Doug Jones in a suit, my favourite show of all time is Farscape, I KNOW what you can do with puppetry or costume to make a character come alive but holy fucking hell, never have I had a reaction like that. The vampire as a Thing! A limp collection of skeleton and cloth when carried

Finally watched Le Vourdalak thanks to @gavia.bsky.social's overinvested podcast and holy shit.
I knew there would be a puppet, I wasn't ready for what a difference having a physical carriable interactable Thing be the vampire over CGI or even a guy in prosthetics has on the narrative a week later

RADIO SILENCE??? THEY GOT *RADIO SILENCE* TO DO THE MUMMY REVIVAL??

DONE. IN. NO QUESTIONS.

apparently Cheney died of pneumonia in his old age. terrible way to go, drowning in your own lungs, drowning on dry land like that. but according to him, that isn’t torture. so you shouldn’t feel bad about it. God was just getting answers out of him. I hope he was scared. I hope he was alone.

There was a concerted effort to ensure no one was held accountable in any way for the Iraq War and torture. That’s the reason most young people don’t know who Cheney is.

The systematic dismantling of journalism as a profession by corporate interests is one of the most important political trends in the past couple of decades.

Please read, comment and appreciate this fic and the new dent in my car it caused archiveofourown.org/works/69420461

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

Kirk was a nobody to normal people, but it's now clear how important he was to the right. The dream of post-Steve Bannon conservativism: An influencer presidential candidate. A homegrown Trump. The panic we're seeing is a movement realizing they have nothing to replace Trump's cult of personality.

Fact-checking should be legally required for all nonfiction books and publishers should pay for it

Another cuttlefish vessel in the works. Oh I just realized I forgot his siphon! Better add it.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Imagine sucking so bad that millions of people take to the streets to say how much they hate you
