HALLOWEEN BESTIARY: SNOULS
Wherein I concoct speculative Halloweeny folklore for all the spooky skull snails that cropped up in Halloween decor this year.
Yeah, you wanna get me on a tirade, talk to me about the new JP trilogy. Never has a franchise so terribly misunderstood the premise of the foundational material. THE DINOSAURS ARE NOT THE BAD GUYS.

One of the wildest Hong Kong films I've ever seen. This is a pulpy action-horror film with an impressive selection of monsters and wonderful action set-pieces. High recommend. letterboxd.com/bisexualkaij...
I've done this to this crowd with great effects. If you get into a camera shot wearing something obscene it ruins some turd's chance at lying through their teeth on the six o'clock news

- A story about a Black trans woman in South Africa.
- A story about a Black woman in Zimbabwe who deals with the corruption of the men around her.
- A story about three Black men in Tanzania who must grapple with masculinity.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.
Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
For my profession, it's useful. I like using the word "spicy" in a playful tone when advertising or selling a book to customers WITHOUT getting in trouble with bosses for not being "family friendly."

It’s the way the word is said that can bother me. If you say “spice” with disgust or a judgmental tone, like you’re better than those who read smut, I despise you and your literary snobbery.
I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

One of the funniest things about this thread is seeing the minority who, when faced with a polite and calm argument citing specific historical events obviously complicating the binary narrative of good & evil they crave, start throwing insults and then, when asked politely for data, flounce out.

Trying to separate the world into Good Antizionist Jews Like Me & Fake Zionist Jews will not save you.
Our tradition has many merits. It is also a human cultural & religious tradition, & as such is not perfect or beyond error or harm. Zionism does not invalidate Judaism, even if you think it's an evil or errant development in Jewish thought. Stop trying to absolve yourself of it & analyze it soberly.
07.10.2025 17:45 — 👍 79 🔁 7 💬 2 📌 0"Zionism is un-Jewish" is cowardice of the sort I usually expect from Christians unwilling to interrogate their own traditions.
Zionism is inextricably tied with Judaism. That does not make it good or beyond criticism. Have the courage to accept this & assess Zionism accordingly.
all of social media is increasingly starting to feel like a boomtown on the downswing. I look at twitter, blue sky, facebook, instagram, tumblr, tiktok, youtube and all I can think is “there used to be gold in them hills”

There aren't a lot of horror characters that will straight-up ventilate you.

Argue with the government the way you argue with Black ppl in their mentions.
Maybe we’ll get some shit done✨
Today's big story. Today's reminder that yes, state library associations *can* do something.
South Carolina school librarians have been fighting incredibly hard against the censorship bring brought across the state by their Education Superintendent and not being seen for it.
Never actually watched this, despite how the VHS cover freaked me out as a kid. Maybe it's time to fix that
