you might consider making your own post instead QRT'ing someone else's, then.

every person I've ever talked to who says they love Flanagan also says that they don't like horror movies/shows in general, and I don't think that's a coincidence. He makes horror for people who don't like horror.

I can hate Flanagan's adaptations for their general bastardization of the original as well as the crypto-conservatism and nuclear family propaganda he continually sneaks in. I contain multitudes. Also, I sat through Hill House, Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass, so I am not unfamiliar with what he does.

there was a tumblr post going around positing that Flanagan isn't fucking these texts up by accident, he's consciously choosing classic horror novels that are critical of the nuclear family/women's roles in society in order to "fix" them and I'm not NOT convinced at this point.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, bridges get burnt, things don't just bounce back into place, people stay mad forever, commenters write mean things, peer groups fracture, and you can't weasel your way out of any of it with a cute slogan. that's just the way it is you know

I feel like "restorative justice" is just a completely fake idea with regard to the internet, and I really don't think people should feel beholden to form opinions about this stuff based on some rubric of Acceptable Political Takes

if only Carrie White knew the pure and redeeming love of a nuclear family and babies. :(

hello??? police??????????
Los Angeles Times: "In every version, Carrie is this clenched up, traumatized, terrified person who is afraid of everything in the world from the minute we meet het. Part of the fun for me was thinking, "Let's throw all that away. What's the opposite of Carrie?" This Carrie is curious eager, kind, earnest, and excited to be there." - Mike Flanagan, showrunner of Prime Video's "Carrie"

I think that's a misunderstanding of what motivates mass shooters. Most were not the bullying victims lashing out, the way they've been portrayed. They are angry, entitled, and feel like they are owed notoriety.

it's not even that, though, because he consistently defangs the parents. In this version, Carrie doesn't even kill Margaret - one of his OCs does. the parents are always victims of outside forces, who are just trying their best.

which would be an interesting angle to explore, but Flanagan won't, because his work consistently refuses to entertain the idea that abuse can be unforgivable.

I too love Stephen King books, but am uncomfortable with the idea that abuse can turn a person into a monster. There is just a straight-up wind tunnel between my ears, if you listen close you hear the ocean.

Nine times out of ten when I see someone claim that true crime podcasts are at fault for whatever social ill they're discussing, it's like. Well, no. That started in the eighties, a full three decades before true crime podcasts as you're thinking of them became a thing.

I have seen two horror sequels in the past year that 1) rip off Nightmare on Elm Street wholesale, and 2) feature the "actually your suicidal mom was murdered by the big bad" twist, what is going on!!!!!

on god this trend is why my next novel involves the protagonist convinced her mother was murdered and ends up learning that no, it actually was suicide, sometimes parents die by suicide and you can't reconcile that.

normal erik @erik-real.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
this is a very thoughtful and nuanced piece. i think this paragraph is especially important to keep in mind. a lot of people are talking about geller as if he has spent the last ten years doing his best to atone for what he did, or asking if ten years of "good work" can outweigh one rape.
Regardless of whether or not you believe that rapists should not have to disclose their histories of sexual violence to their co-workers, I don't think Geller should have agreed to collaborate with me - especially for a video about James Franco - knowing that I've often written about living as a survivor of sexual violence (which I assume he knew because he knew of me and it was the subject of my most popular essay). I feel as though I was a small link in a larger chain of survivors used - deliberately or not - as props in a greater project of image rehabilitation. Every collaboration Geller did with an outspoken victim of sexual assault helped to legitimize his public image, and it seems none of us were given the choice of making an informed decision whether or not to support that project. While it's possible that Geller has deconstructed, his actions don't align with the argument that he's spent the last decade "accounting."

Crits For Cats, Inc. Cat Rescue @crits4cats.org · 05/10/2026
Our dear dear friend Haley at @friendsofbear.bsky.social has a very sick, sweet geriatric kitty who is in the hospital dealing with some stuff. She posted on her IG that all she’d like for her birthday today is some donations for his care: linktr.ee/friendsofbear
An orange tabby cat who is a bit old and scrungly sleeping inside a cubby bed.An old orange tabby cat who is a bit disheveled and scrungly, looking quite under the weather with an IV catheter in one leg and a kind hand scritching his cheek gently.friendsofbearcatrescue one of my favorite little FoB sanctuary buddies Mr. Peaches is currently in the hospital
no pressure but it's my birthday today
and I would love nothing more than if you could donate toward his hospital bill so we can give him the best chance
our donation links are in our bio!
Peaches came to us at the end of May after 13 hard years on the street. His time outside definitely showed, he was in horrendous shape and weighed 5
Ibs of mostly fleas. Since then, we have been managing his various conditions. He's dealt with anemia, congestion, gastric ulcers, kidney disease, horrible dental disease... the list goes on. We've been slowly chipping away at these issues and he was actually starting to feel pretty good! A couple weeks ago, he started backsliding and I've been trying to figure him out. This weekend, it became clear he was declining and what I was doing at home wasn't enough, so I had to admit him to the hospital.
Peaches is dealing with an infection, dehydration, another gastric ulcer, pretty awful congestion and a mild hit to his kidneys. Thankfully, after 24 hrs of fluids, he's showing improvement. Through all of this, he continues to have the loudest purr and best headbutts for everyone who helps him
I feel hopeful that we can get Peaches back on track and give him more time to feel loved and cherished, something he missed out on for his first 13 years of life. If you're able to pitch in $1 or $5 toward his care, we would all appreciate it more than you know.
Everyone who has met this little guy knows how special he is and how much he wants to stick around
thank you all as always for the ongoing support for these gross cats, they are my heart and soul and your donations and kind comments mean the world to me

Elon Musk, who is estimated to have ensured the mass deaths of 16 million people by 2030, most of whom will be children, is also history's most prolific creator and distributor of CSAM. He has basically infinite money to avoid facing any legal consequences whatsoever for his vast, vast crimes.
