love has been enough to get sheri moon zombie's butt in the frame of every movie he makes! we don't all get to live on a vegan farm and play elvira pinball with our muses. frankly, zombie's got it figured out.

according to the reddit AMA I read, he just "never got to it," which is very funny to me. he just wants to watch the munsters, man, he doesn't need the stress!

stuff i have learned about rob zombie while researching my CAMP MIASMA essay: 1. he fuckin' LOVES carrots 2. he doesn't care why stuff is in a movie as long as it is cool 3. despite including a white horse as a symbol of violent generational trauma in HALLOWEEN 2, he has never seen Twin Peaks (!!!)

Yeah, I was ready to give the benefit of the doubt until I clicked through and saw the headline for the article. It's disappointing, they could have done something good here!

It is fine to choose to take a GLP-1, or choose not to. Everyone is allowed to do what they like with their own bodies. What is not ok, and what is in fact increasingly tiresome, is the endless advertorial bullshit push surrounding them. Public media shilling for a drug company sucks.

Absolutely appaled that @wbez.org had an advertorial for GLP-1s smack at the top of their Daily Rundown today. Aside from the obvious point that it is not breaking news that these medications exist, it deeply embarrassing that you're asking me for donations to help subsidize a Wegovy ad.

If you're in Chicago and you love queer cinema, you owe it to yourself to make one of these screenings. My pick would be HUSTLER WHITE. SUNSET BOULEVARD for twisted gay perverts.

"why do you live in Chicago when houses are so much cheaper back where you came from?" well, when I was walking to the library in my beautiful neighborhood I stopped by the gay witch coffee shop and saw a flyer celebrating a queer anarchist filmmaker, and also I'm far less likely to be murdered here

tough call because most of the foley/mcdonald sketches are top-tier. i really love this one. it's a three-way tie between the bad vaudvilliains, "you thanked hitler" and "daddy drinks." youtu.be/jFhvmCgs_L4?...

i think the most radical anti-capitalist thing a trans artist can say these days is "my story and my art are my own, and there is no amount of money that can compel me to tell it in any way other than the one i choose."

Grunkle Harm @harmonwest.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
i think a lot about autofiction as a trans storytelling tool. i wonder if a part of why it appeals to me is that cis people demand the performance of "real" trans trauma in trans art. making something like THE PEOPLE'S JOKER for them to choke on instead feels delightfully transgressive, and correct.

My decision to only watch exploitation movies from the 70s and micro budget vimeo films by trans people going forward is looking smart.

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

imagine the cross-marketing potential! "every copy of GTAVI now has a lunabar tucked inside of it. don't worry about why, just eat it. eat it and have a long, hard look in the mirror. no reason!"

i had to explain to a guy once that he would not sprout tits if he ate too many lunabars. he was seriously worried about it! he also did not know what a "pink tax" is so he learned a lot that day

if there is one thing i want the world to learn, it is that it is rational to acknowledge the rise of fascism as a bad thing that affects your mental health. it's weird to say "lol, that's just your depression!" no, it is not, and it's actually very healthy to say something sucks when it sucks!

on my therapist's advice i am slowly re-adding things to my life that stress me out, as it feels manageable. that means i look at my phone twice a day and bluesky once a week, and return my correspondences propped up at my desk like an ailing consumptive at a seaside cure. this feels correct.
