The moon casts a shadow upon the ground and reveals the veins of the trees.
Trees are the lungs of Mother Earth and water is the blood that flows through her veins with every heartbeat.
The moonlight reveals what is within all of us.
Energy.

Today was Palestinian Independence Day.
As Trump and Netanyahuβs disastrous postwar plans become clear, the U.S. must recognize and respect Palestinian statehood β as 81% of the world already does.

A louche Dix looks on, as Laurel provides him an alibi
The electric between Bogey and Gloria Grahame positively crackles as the two enjoy a shortlived drink at a piano bar
We suspect more strongly than ever that a horrible, dangerous violence lurks beneath Dixβs veneer of kindness
Finally we see Dix for what he really is
Wowsers, In A Lonely Place (Ray, 1950) is one heck of a motion picture. I hesitate to use the modern shorthand for something ultimately so much more complex and multilayered but itβs meta as absolute fuck. Insanely good script and phenomenal performances from Bogey and Gloria Grahame π₯

the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood, framed in gold with gold flowers against a dark teal background around the edges. The cover is teal with a stag of flowers and foliage growing from a twisted tree with flowers growing around it and black ooze dripping from a branch overhead. the title "The Lord of the Wood" is in large white serif text to the left, with foliage growing through the letters closest to the tree, and the author "E.M. Anderson" is in all-caps yellow text at the bottom. the tagline, in smaller yellow text, reads, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..."
"When lonely clockmaker Arthur Throckmorton loses his way in an enchanted forest, he meets the hero of his childhood bedtime stories: the Lord of the Wood. But instead of the mythical figure of his dreams, the Lord of the Wood is a grim man turning into a beast and losing power over a dying forest. If they canβt save the forest before he becomes a beast completely, Arthur will lose the man he's falling forβand never see his family again." Text is in a textbox against a murky image of a forest, with the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood below the text, all against a dark teal background with gold curlicues in the corners.
The cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood on a dark teal background with golden leaves overhead, surrounded by yellow text reading: plant magic; sentient forest trying to oops! murder people; intensely homoerotic shaving scene; the one who heard the stories and the one who was in the stories; hopeless romantic who's clueless about his own sexuality; Beauty & the Beast inspired by not a retelling; dual-POV brother/sister; love interest turning slowly into a beast; wound-tending.
