"A crash is not enjoyable. It was and continues to be horrifying and traumatizing, a leviathan constriction of world and self, the kind of thing you only wish on your worst enemies. But it is clarifying." -- Sloane McNulty

Read Forrest Arnold on Texas Chainsaw Massacre fifty years later:

"There is no conspiracy, only a reckoning with the totality of American white supremacy: a set of mouthless teeth, artificially motorized and ambiguously animated, ripping flesh."

Read Vienna D'Angelo on Makoto Shinkai’s Weathering With You, "a challenge to normative demands of capitalist work, sacrifice, and kinship, embracing oceanic ruptures as pathways to transformation."

Some exciting news: @sean_obee & I are editing a book called "The Return of the '90s: A Cultural History of the Present." And today we signed a contract with @PlutoPress 🥂

Thrilled to be working with so many incredible contributors. Much thanks to our editor @DYShulman!

On October 1, 1974, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre premiered in Austin (the wider premiere was October 11). October 1, 2024 is the 50th anniversary of this premiere, & we've got a cluster for it!

Ed. by @StepfordDotter & @InfraBrutalism, ft. art by @kayteterry. Essays are POWERFUL!

“As a former childcare worker, I have held many babies… But I had never held a baby with so much rigidity in his form, as if he felt himself to be a burden and was trying to hold himself, as it were, together, make himself lighter.” Miranda Mellis

“If capital helps the university stay hard, graduates are perhaps the cum spewed out.”

🔥🔥🔥 from Olive Demar on universities, @BigMeanInternet’s Palo Alto, @EliMeye’s Beyond Education, and much else.

We’re devastated to hear of Fredric Jameson’s passing. His influence is truly immeasurable.

A decade ago we decided to start a non-academic / anti-capitalist publishing project by and for Jamesonian-feminists. We keep going, now in his honor.

RIP

@eleanoir @oliviastowell @snarkademic @stevenwatts @la_louve_rouge_ @lint_ax In her introduction, @eleanoir prompts us to think through suspicion as a framework that shapes narrative, action, and relations, and *not* just as an interpretive analytic. https://t.co/to3zqZe9WR
