Yeah my first response was to acknowledge he is right about the baseball in my case. But I don’t think my or anyone’s worth as a person hinges on filling out a checklist.

Finally started Stranger Things s5 last night (it’s been a heck of a month, time has been short). And let me just say that I am loving Holly Wheeler’s amazing Xennial representation! I had those exact Rainbow Brite sheets.

Sweater AND soup weather. Seriously the best.

Anne Corwin @feliscorvus.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

This is going to sound super basic of me but I am so happy it’s sweater weather right now (in California, no less). I adore a crisp day and a cozy sweater so very much.

thought they needed to do to survive. In any case, I would recommend the books Feed, Deadline, and Blackout to anyone who likes a fast paced read full of cool little details (I liked the blood test and hair dye bits, dammit) and can deal if things get super weird In uncomfortable ways. 8/8

The “Newsflesh” version of the world was one in which you had a whole new notion of what was and was not taboo. Just like you had less in the way of mass media, you had fewer shared moral and ethical paradigms. It was all compartmentalized & heavily dependent on what a given group of folks 7/X

Anne Corwin @feliscorvus.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

that were actually kind of brilliant. She wasn’t writing that relationship as fan service so much as to further emphasize just how much the zombie pandemic and people’s/society’s responses to it (coupled with timelessly unhealthy family dynamics in general) had broken a lot of norms. 6/X

Anne Corwin @feliscorvus.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

There was one relationship in particular I really, really did not like, even though “technically” it wasn’t as gross as it could have been. And I can see that alone being a reason some people would nope out of the series entirely. But I also think the author was doing some things intentionally 5/X

Anne Corwin @feliscorvus.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

Another element that I picked up on (which I am realizing tends to be a thread running through this author’s works) was the way horror wasn’t just manifest in the gory reality of zombies, but in how incredibly screwed-up soke of the family/relationship dynamics were. 4/X

Anne Corwin @feliscorvus.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

The biggest one for me (hopefully not too much of a spoiler, but stop reading now if you’re strict about such things) was the rise to prominence of influencers & independent media over mainstream sources. 3/X

Anne Corwin @feliscorvus.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

Which I totally understand, given how things have gone during our real world pandemic. It’s also even more fascinating to read a fictional pandemic scenario from over 10 years ago and look at what predictions ended up weirdly accurate. 2/X

Anne Corwin @feliscorvus.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

Just finished the “Newsflesh” trilogy by Mira Grant (Seanan McGuire’s horror persona). What a wild page-turner of a read. Very cool and unique approach to the zombie concept. I saw an interview where the author said she’d never write such a series post-COVID because it was “too optimistic”. 1/X

The people deserve video of his reaction. I bet it’s giving Rumplestiltskin — levitation, red face, smoke shooting out the ears, incoherent babbling about deportation…

The thing you need to remember about Trump is that he likes winners. It’s the inverse of his whole “I like people who don’t get captured” thing. Plus, he is actually weak against genuine charisma as well as against people who don’t cower before him. Democrats should take several lessons from this.

I realized today that it feels like America is being run by $cientologists. The whole MAGA cult seems to employ the exact same tactics at every level.

Disingenuous headline. They’re not “showing” the admin is serious, they’re claiming it with no proof.

Anne Corwin @feliscorvus.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Yes! Things are really hard and I know we are all weary and anxious for justice. But defeatism is often a self-fulfilling prophecy, and it’s a luxury we cannot afford.

We need to keep the pressure on and be relentless about it, but I am so, so glad that my gay friends get to stay legally married. This should never be something even up for debate, but I know how fragile all our rights are right now…

“Don’t vote” is the wrong message to take from tonight’s senate debacle. Anyone who suggests this is grifting or ignorantly dooming. Keep voting, and vote for better candidates!

Anne Corwin @feliscorvus.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

Good, hopefully the non-cavers can stop this nonsense within the next half hour. A “promise” to hold an ACA subsidies vote next month is worse than worthless.

Anne Corwin @feliscorvus.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

A 1 year extension might be the best we can get right now but Dems absolutely should not pass ANYTHING based merely on Republicans claiming they will negotiate later after a reopen. They will not. And dems will look like fools.

There is a difference between being good at debates and being right, and I hope humans figure that out ASAP.

We still have free and fair elections despite all the tomfoolery Trump & his goons have enacted over the past year. And electing competent leaders will help keep it that way.

Indeed, and I’m still gobsmacked by this reality.

I love when lots of Democrats win by margins too big to be contested!

Well! This Election Day is going a heck of a lot better than last year’s, that’s for sure. Now if only folks can maintain this level of turnout & enthusiasm for the midterms next year…

Anne Corwin @feliscorvus.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

VOTE today if you haven’t already! I voted by mail in California: - YES on 50 - YES on measure A It’s been a year (ish) now since the last dreadful election and I am hoping by this point a critical mass of folks realize we need to change course ASAP.

#HollowKnight #Silksong Halloween was a hit! Lots of kids recognized it (and one dad who was like “hey that’s from that game I’m always playing”!)

Next to her is a long pointed weapon with a rope wrapped partially around it; behind her is a Pharlid (smaller bug creature).

Yes! I have so much Thriller nostalgia - I remember my whole kindergarten class in like 1983 being obsessed with it, it was the first compellingly scary (but not TOO scary) piece of media a lot of 80s kids got to engage with.
