oh god the spaces are living

they're shifting

I can't leave

I'm gonna die mad that GDT's Frankenstein has The Creature recite "Ozymandias" and ends on a fucking Lord Byron quote.

waiting in line for the bathroom as Britney Spears's "Circus" plays but I'm at Target and not the club

BABE WAKE UP NEW DINOSAUR JUST DROPPED AND IT'S RELATED TO MY FAVORITE DINOSAUR

Hi all, me, @richardjbutler.bsky.social and the amazing UK-US-Moroccan team are delighted to announce that.. we have a new specimen of Spicomellus AND IT'S WAY WEIRDER AND WAY COOLER THAN WE EVER IMAGINED!!

coming back after a long dissertation-related hiatus to be extremely normal about #keero being real

I am so feral for these two assholes and I hope they get what's coming to them

boats AND hoes? in this economy?

Davids Lynch and Fincher called with the elevator scene--but I loved every second? how is this movie simultaneously good AND bad?

this movie is a fever dream

this coroner looks like she just walked out of a 1920s German horror film

the acting is Not Great but the aesthetic is so strong

there is also some high early-2000s goofiness, like a brutal murder being committed as Rammstein blares on the soundtrack

"I believe" because I am pretty sure I skipped it even as a teen horror connoisseur

y'all I am watching Feardotcom (2001) for what I believe is the first time and I am so intrigued

I have finally submitted my first post-PhD job application.

it's a hell of a time to be on the academic job market

working on a segment about time in The Blair Witch Project for my dissertation and uh

I think it might become an article later?

"setting as character" because it also covers "haunted house"!

Dear Esther, Gone Home, and Oxenfree. it was specifically a GenEd Gothic lit class, so everything was on the spooky side and broadly represented certain tropes. I also had to keep it inexpensive and accessible to people who don't usually play games.

and it was AWESOME.

I assigned SOMA for my video games as literature class and my students were like, "WHY WOULD YOU HURT US LIKE THIS (affectionately)"

it really is!

I tried a new strategy for finally finishing my first dissertation chapter

and it's working?

I don't know how to deal with feeling this productive.

fully migrating over here now. hello new followers! I've been rather quiet since I'm working on my dissertation but I'm excited to get back in the swing!

me before RE4 Remake: idk how much I'll get into Resident Evil since I'm such a Silent Hill girlie

me after RE4 Remake: I will die for this repressed bisexual former cop; please send me as much fanfic as possible

YA GIRL HAS PASSED ALL OF HER COMP EXAMS.

submitted a paper proposal to a conference In My Field and I feel very grown-up.

hello yes Society for the Study of the American Gothic please accept my proposal to discuss Control as a Gothic haunted house narrative

and he is still SO CUTE (see also: him as Dr Darling in Control)

oh no :( I got shots for pneumonia, flu, AND covid and hopefully won't catch strep

preloadiiiiiiing

Flu season is not fucking around this year. Glad you're okay!

parenting is being thankful that your feverish kid "only" has strep and not COVID.

small blessings.
