Thinking about the effort "Hellraiser"-era Clive Barker put into casting a hot Frank (a man who is on screen for 30 seconds before being dismembered) vs a hot Julia (a woman who must conduct many scenes of torrid sensuality while wearing a pantsuit and Ricardo Montalban's hair from "Wrath of Khan")

FRANK, with his eyeliner and his tousled hair and his tan, in the rain. I cannot stress enough that we see this guy ONCE before he spends the entire rest of the movie in a latex goo suit made to look like exposed innards.JULIA, who is a perfectly lovely actress, but saddled (in this movie) with the task of seducing half of England while sporting a series of sensible pantsuits and stiff, columnar, unmoving hair

Things are slowly heating up. While they are still simmering, it's a good time to review skills for street protests. Unfortunately, everyone should read "A Demonstrator’s Guide to Responding to Gunshot Wounds" in order to be prepared for a worst-case scenario. Hopefully, you'll never need it. 🤞

Idk y'all I think the secret police that violently terrorizes our neighbors and doesn't bother following any laws nor vetting the people they hire for mental health problems and histories of violence, and that recruits with nazi iconography may be bad actually

Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands by Felix

A poem in the shape of the artist beating Henry Kissinger to death, full text can be found on the website Taco Bell Quarterly
Kyler Fey vs Destoroyah@kylerfey.bsky.social

As many of you will recall, the poem in the shape of beating Henry Kissinger to death is perhaps the single greatest piece of literature of this century.

it was important for me to call this out. King, though I love him, has been getting away with nakedly hateful fatphobia for half a century now and the majority of readers seem to have handwaved it, but I can't. (a shout out to @megelison.bsky.social, though, who's been banging this drum for years)

And King has never created a fat character he didn’t insist on treating as a disgusting spectacle. In “Other Worlds Than These,” there’s a particularly insulting episode concerning a family of fat people; King seems to take perverse pleasure in commenting on their “elephantine thighs” and “huge rolls of flesh.” Jack speculates that the family’s front porch “must have been specially reinforced to take the combined weight of such behemoths,” and when the daughter attempts to rape and kill him in his bed that night, she “lands on him like a truck falling off a jack,” breaking the bed frame. I wonder if it has ever occurred to King that fat people read his books, too.
