My analysis of the intergenerational racism and trauma in @gradyhendrix.bsky.social’s THE SOUTHERN BOOK CLUB’S GUIDE TO SLAYING VAMPIRES is available in TOXIC NOSTALGIA ON SCREEN: Undead Memory in the 21st Century, edited by @baconetti.bsky.social.

It was cut for length because there was a LOT of that. Thank you!

It was hot outside, I wrote about it for @theipaper.com.

The comments on this are doing a really good job of reminding me why I don’t use this platform.

My piece for @theipaper.com today. #Oasis

I remember this. Sigh.
This dude is like, the origin story of so much of my personality

oh for fuck sake shannon

That’s just one of life’s little ironies.
Once upon a time there were people called editors who would spot that kind if thing but it was determined spell check could do our jobs, so…

Sorry, but at this point if you genuinely think there's no difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, you are actually too stupid to function.

guess I’m not the only one who “misread” it, then.
Saying “very much all those things” is a false equivalency. Vulnerable people like you and me are rightfully scared, their access to education is literally being erased and resources are blocked. Being flippant about it is insensitive, at the least.

You don’t know any women in academia, do you.

Try google. As a PhD yourself you should understand the importance of independent research.

Respecting my choice not to respond is the only respect you seem interested in granting me and you need to do your own homework because I am not currently employed to be your educator.

Since everyone dunking on me in your replies is crowing about how they ARE both the same, ACTUALLY, I’m not the only one who allegedly misread what you said.

Keep well. I’m done here.

Right now, there are three by-elections that retake the House. Democrats on the ground are mobilising voters to make that happen. Elected officials are gumming up whatever they can.

Just because you refuse to see it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. But thanks for making everyone else’s job harder.

Go ask them then

Imagine still thinking the Democrats were the bad guys as being trans is effectively made illegal in the US and Gaza becomes a Trump casino.

Have the day you voted for.

Except you weren’t. But whatever. I see where you stand on it.

And they’re nice and young and blonde and subservient, just as he likes them

Yeah because women were never DEI candidates everrrrrr

oh I see, you’re a transphobic white supremacist.
Please take all that back to whatever rock you crawled out from under. I don’t know what gave you the impression I would be at all receptive to this rhetoric but I am absolutely not. This may be a public forum but it isn’t Mumsnet.

Are you really doing a “both parties are the same” when one wrote an entire treatise on its fascism and the other said “y’all, this is what they want to do and that’s really bad, we will not be doing that”?

Not sure why you felt I needed to see that sexual predator surrounded by girls applauding him for being able to write his name

The fact two highly qualified, amazing and influential women lost the Presidency to ~Donald Trump~ should tell you everything you need to know about how safe women are in the US.

Funny how they’re never expected to show grace the other way, it is always expected to be offered. As if they know they’re being prats but want permission to do it anyway

So what you wanted to hear was Nazi rhetoric. Got it.

Where is @papercutsshow.bsky.social to give me head pats for what is the finest headline I’ve written this year

Deadnaming is bad.
