Body Horror Transformation, infection, contagion, and mutation run rampant in these fleshy nightmares that render the human form unstable, uncanny, and sublimely grotesque. While David Cronenberg established himself as the reigning king of body horror with gloriously gooey, thematically provocative cult favorites like The Brood and The Fly, master directors ranging from Ken Russell (Altered States) to Claire Denis (Trouble Every Day) to William Friedkin (Bug) have each put their own stamp on a genre that posits the body as a site of trauma, desire, and uncontrollable change. FEATURING: Eyes Without a Face (1960), Matango (1963), The Face of Another (1966), Shivers (1975), Eraserhead (1977), The Brood (1979), Altered States (1980), Possession (1981), The Fly (1986), Trouble Every Day (2001), Bug (2006), Teeth (2007)

What do you call a bear without teeth?
A gummy bear.

Fango mourns the passing of the great Graham Greene. Greene, a Canadian First Nations actor and recording artist, is best known to horror and genre fans for his work in THE GREEN MILE, THE TWILIGHT SAGA, and ANTLERS, with a long and esteemed career across multiple genres.

Psst no big deal but director Ryan Coogler has also been recommending #BHH 😏

Dear Ryan Coogler, Now I need a movie about those Choctaw vampire hunters. Please and thank you. All my love, Jen

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:

“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

America, watch and learn.

A Vaccine For Pancreatic Cancer Continues To Show Promise In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease had no relapse three years later.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

Brown University Professor and Doctor Are Deported to Lebanon Despite a Judge’s Order Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a kidney transplant specialist and Brown University professor who had a valid visa, was expelled in apparent defiance of a court order.

Valid visa and now gone. BTW, she was here to SAVE LIVES.

I don't have much time to post on social media much anymore but to be fair I also need to integrate BS as a new habit (thanks autism and ADHD!). But I'm alive and like many of you, trying to figure out how to navigate our reality. I spend most of my free time at NAGLY working with LGBTQ+ youth.

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps

block the path

Boston makes it easy! The Tesla dealership is at the Prudential Center. You can protest and then have a nice meal at Eataly. Or Cheesecake Factory, if that’s your vibe. #TeslaTakedown

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

what if we didn’t turn photos of Musk into memes? what if, since he’s made it clear that one of the greatest desires of the withered and howling void where his heart should be is to “become meme,” we at least deny him that? also i hate his stupid face so much stop making me look at it

YOOO, this is important pop culture news! I don't think Courtney is on here but back in the Twitter days I found Courtney Summers (pre-coming out) and This Is Not A Test is the first book of hers I read. It found me at a dark time in my life and moved me profoundly. I'm so happy to see this news!

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

And make no mistake - Art is a form of resistance. Community is a form of resistance. Joy is a form of resistance. Even self-care is a form of resistance. Living our most authentic lives with joy and love is the most courageous act of defiance that we can commit.

I feel the need to disclaim that I am keenly, painfully aware of all the horrors in the world right now. Please do not mistake my lack of posting on them as ignorance or apathy. If I am to survive the coming years - which I intend to do - I need to maintain my mental health. (c)

Over the weekend I got to hang out with this lovely fellow. He was just delightful. Eats his own poop, but, hey, nobody's perfect.

Hey, your tarot cards have said it, now I’m going to say it:

Write the book of your heart. Do it. Start.
