i have braved the hurricane and acquired my @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social zine and stickers

I only knew about it because @stinasdemons.com put it on my radar. I enjoy the director's other works, like Witch in the Window and YellowBrickRoad, which are also a little folk horrory

I like that their reactions to this improbably situation are both believable and pragmatic

That's definitely a problem, but I think it also is related to the normalcy bias. We have a vested interest in returning to normal/baseline, even if we have to collectively fabricate normalcy

I guess it's like women forgetting how bad childbirth is so they can keep having children? Some trauma has to be overcome. But at least that makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Forgetting how to deal with deadly viruses seems counterproductive

All of this has happened before... very few media dealing directly with the Spanish Flu either. It's a whole thing

#FolkHorrorFriday

Tyra got a lot of shit for that but she was RIGHT

#FolkHorrorFriday

I was living overseas at the time and we got a weekly mask ration (two). Wild times
