In this six-week, online workshop with Vanessa Angélica Villarreal @Vanessid, we’ll use Donna Haraway's theory of sympoiesis, or "worlding with", to explore and write works that collaborate with the land as record, as memory and as document. https://t.co/V6pPk5NrHo

Ah the ‘is Rocky Horror problematic’ chat. Through a 2024 lens - of course it is. But babies, being gay was *illegal* in England 6 years before Rocky was first staged in ‘73.

It was brave, bold & brilliant for its time. Look beyond the end of your own nose, just briefly. Please.

It's the cornerstone of queer horror theory, and this insistence that queer characters be virtuous or it's "bad representation" seems to be on a path to eliminating it.

[Katie Rife @RifewithKatie]

I worry that the young queers are losing the transformative, liberating joy of identifying with the villain.

Look at that lineup. @StephenKing. @SGJ72. @TananariveDue. @almakatsu. @victorlavalle. @paulGtremblay. Just the tip of the iceberg. Come hang out with us! I get back from France late on the 14th, but I’ll be there, jet lagged but more than ready to #ScareUpTheVote

I'm less than $1000 away from my goal. I recently found out I'll have to have surgery on my ankle. Using a boot for now. Anything helps. even A share. Thank you truly.
