Saw a Tesla with a custom license plate that said MY KITT and now I have to go punch something.

Looking for recommendations! I am teaching a Horror and New Media course in the fall. It will cover a wide array of transmedial horror texts (film, television, video games, internet content, podcasts, etc.) Comment any materials you think I should include in my curriculum 💜

Overheard conversation between two teens on the bus: "Midsommar is hella good." "Yeah, A24 is goated."

Navigating academia in this current moment is terrible (seriously, the job market is god awful and even worse than it normally is), but seeing my work being cited more and more is genuinely thrilling.

I never imagined I would see a Jeepers Creepers-themed drag performance set to a dubstep remix of the nu metal song "Bodies" by Drowning Pool. But last night I was proven wrong.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Eddington is quite disappointing. It feels like a 2.5 hour South Park episode in that it tries to critique "both sides" but never actually says anything of substance. A very frustrating watch.

Mickey 17 is unfortunately disappointing. The first half is great, the second half is very messy. Too many characters and too many plot points that don't go anywhere. It felt like a lot was left on the cutting room floor.
