Please listen to my short story. It's based on Filipino folklore! Also, it's been over a year since I wrote it and I don't hate this one, which is a miracle in itself.

Tales to Terrify@talestoterrify.bsky.social

Welcome to 761. We have three tales, about a living miracle (by @viviofthevoid.bsky.social), a family on the edge (by @levato.bsky.social) and a proposal for a unique exhibition (by @fictionaut.bsky.social). talestoterrify.com/episodes/761-vivi-estaris-francesco-levato-michael-harris-cohen

People wanna count out this poll/race 'cause "Louisiana is a red state" but Black voter turnout for 1st day of early voting was incredibly high. “I’m not seeing the Deep South in this partisan island like we saw in 2024" - Republican pollster lailluminator.com/2026/10/22/b...

lailluminator.comBlack voter turnout higher than normal for Louisiana’s first day of early voting • Louisiana IlluminatorBlack voters made up a larger share of participants on Louisiana’s first day of early voting than they have in almost every other election over the past 18 years.

🚨🚨🚨 Just got info from the Jamie Davis (Louisiana US Dem candidate) campaign that a poll taken from 9/17 to 9/19 shows he's within 4 points of US Rep. Julia Letlow (the R senate candidate) in the Louisiana US senate race. Of note, Letlow's name recognition is double that of Davis. (82% vs. 41%)

Consolidation is killing our industry. The Gamergaters who make money off the rage game will have you think this is a victory. This is purely a loss. A loss of work and art and fun and expression in a space that desperately needs it. Massive fucking bummer.

I genuinely don't think that human civilization is compatible with "100 dudes should own everything, make nothing, but get infinitely increasing money forever"

“Irony is a means of depriving the object of its reality in order that the subject may feel free….Irony is thus destructive and what Kierkegaard worries about a lot is that irony has nothing to put in place of what it has destroyed.” — Donald Barthelme, “Kierkegaard Unfair to Schlegel” (1970)

bringing this back around

Me, watching The Haunting: Mmm, yes, the desperate undercurrents of yearning and isolation, the melting threshold between paranormal crises and madness … pure cinema. Also me, watching House of 1000 Corpses: [EXCITED HOWLER MONKEY SCREECHING AND PISSING INTO MY OWN MOUTH]

"Horror is where we don’t have to lie about the bad things. We can talk about them. They give us a language to acknowledge evil when everything else is telling us we have to be positive and to bury our grief, our anger, and our pain."

THE DEVILS is back and more blasphemous than ever! Learn more about its long and harried journey back to theaters with this in-depth overview of its history by @crazysexyghoul.bsky.social!

Warner Bros. Clockwork announced their 4K restoration of the Ken Russell's fabled film, but just why is the director's cut of THE DEVILS so controversial? Fango breaks it down.

Tick tick. Just a few days remain. Read this piece by @viviofthevoid.bsky.social

FANGORIA@fangoria.bsky.social

The long-awaited director's cut of Ken Russell's THE DEVILS is bringing NC-17 cinema back to the theaters, and the beautiful blasphemy was loosely based on true events.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Lots of my childhood friends came out as trans in the past 15 years, and I've made a bunch of other trans friends since then, too. My natural conclusion is that trans people rule and life is 1000% better because of y'all. May the world catch up in realizing this!

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

kieu @ we must not stop living@leslekieuart.bsky.social

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

it's not "chronically online" or whatever to tell people not to add their name to a mailing list that will be immediately handed over to whichever fascist member of our government hears about it and gets mad first. can everyone get a grip

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI? Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

Replying to @bencollins.bsky.social

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.
