On the left, a screenshot of the article "They Will Say: Ritual Naming and Living beyond the Pale with Candyman," in plain text.
On the right, a still from the 1992 film CANDYMAN in which two women, one White and one Black, stand in front of a mirror and chant "Candyman, Candyman…," smiling a bit because they're half-joking.
Candyman, Candyman, Candy— ... Say his name, just not five times. Zayla Crocker tells us how the 1992 & 2021 CANDYMAN filmms "sustained vitality of Black existence & memory through the utterance of a name." From Eng Lang Notes @dukepress.bsky.social @projectmuse.bsky.social

Long COVID is keeping people from their jobs and their lives, and as COVID cases continue, it is unclear whether the rate of new long COVID cases is increasing faster than the old cases recover, writes @jasemurphy.bsky.social.

I'm giving a talk on #LongCovid newest research at the WHO/SILC series tomorrow at 10am ET! This is a series specifically for international clinicians.
The number one advice any & every writing professional can & will give you is this:
DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCK.
You have spent years reading books, watching movies & TV, developing taste to know good from bad. NO ONE GETS TO READ YOUR WRITING UNTIL YOU LET THEM. Trust your taste & write fearlessly.
Oh, that's amazing, thank you! I should've looked properly, I just wanted on that list 🖤
My Trouble every day book maybe? Or cannibalism articles?

Horror buds, I'm looking for an NYC-based special effects makeup artist for a short film shoot early next year. Anybody have a rad friend I should know about? Reskeets welcome!
This is 100% where I'm at. I just want to write long form things and promote things I love. I miss research and trawling through archives and the slowness of academia.
Thanks Sarah! Happy to be back online!
I also keep thinking about Racheal Cain's SOMNIUM, with an experimental sleep clinic that makes dreams come true, and how it taps into ideas around the science of dreams, optimization culture, and the (mis)use of AI-generated content. www.dreadcentral.com/news/515667/... @dreadcentral.bsky.social
Returned to reviews for Brooklyn Horror 2024, where one of my favorites was Alice Lowe's TIMESTALKER, where love at first sight is a disorder so powerful it transcends time and space-unfortunately, your soulmate might be kind of rubbish @dreadcentral.bsky.social www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/5156...
An amazing list of people to follow from @suspirialexx.bsky.social!
Finally moved in here, feeling a bit like I got to the party, went out for ice, came back and now everyone is here and it's great. I write about art, films, and culture, make the occasional video essays, and you can read more about it: katerobertson.me
*wave* hope you're enjoying the change of location too :)
Back in Sydney and it’s 34 degrees in September (93f for US friends).
