i went to a stop-motion short film showcase on wednesday. i'd highly recommend BUZZ BOX (1985), so long as you don't have photosensitive epilepsy. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

If only there were some easy, amusing way, to convey that a second version of this iconic image now existed.

In an incredible move, Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada has announced a gender-affirming care clinic for trans youth, asserting tribal sovereignty and defying the region's ban.
It is one of the biggest cross-movement solidarity moments in Canada.

Canada First Nation Leaders Announce They Won’t Comply With Alberta Trans Care Ban
“This is about more than one health service,” officials wrote. “It is about Indigenous sovereignty. It is about our responsibility to care for one another.”

you were a 25-year-old baby. meanwhile i was 14 & joining protests to defend my persian neighbors, & organizing demonstrations against your war. but you were just a baby.
I’ve heard us referred to as “9-11 Babies”, given the surge of young people who signed up for the military, intelligence community, State Department and other national service.

It's also so weird to imply that teenagers were signing up for the military en masse because of some kind of patriotic fever and not the fact that they were literally trying to bring back the draft and had army recruiters stationed in public school cafeterias nationwide.

This is such a delusional takeaway. What I remember is the general public being swept into such a jingoistic fervor that you had to put an American flag on your house and your car so you weren't harassed or worse. It was open season on Muslims—and then by extension any other marginalized group.
But that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans in the early weeks after the attack is something I’m so glad I got to experience. Because it’s the thing that I think we’re missing the most today.

you enlisted to go revenge-kill innocent muslims & you're calling that a "shared sense of purpose." you are disgusting.
The sense of unity across the country that emerged out of the rubble. The shared sense of purpose, unlike anything I have felt before or since.

somebody should do another one, just to bring that magical feeling back

Labor Day belongs to working people!
It belongs to care workers who keep our families healthy, airport workers who keep us moving, janitors who keep our workplaces running, public service workers who keep our communities strong, & working people whose labor makes America work every day. #LaborDay

the Goblin soundtrack is what stood out most to me
A cracking tale of aliens and coffee with exploding bodies galore. Rather smartly ripping off Ridley Scott and Fulci it nails the Italian pulp brief nicely. 1980.

I like how this looks like a movie about three girls in their 20s who just don't get along but all have to live together after their grandmother leaves them her rambling mansion in her will, with Sarah McLachlan as their kooky aunt who's also the mayor.

remember an art youtuber (Marc Brunet?) talking about ways to make money as an artist and saying something like "and if you have no morals you can always draw nsfw".. as if working in a games industry that tries to get children addicted to gambling is the more worthy use of your talents lol
Seeing some of my fave "big-name" artists on BSKY joking that they might have to stoop to making erotic art to make a living has me miffed.
Erotic art has A) been artistic subject matter in all time periods and cultures, and B) Erotic artists are ALWAYS at the front of threats against the arts.

I speak often about the moral weight of disgust. In this instance of censorship, the president of the university offers no rationale for his decision beyond his revulsion at the story in question.
