31 days of Horror - Anthology List: Day 31 - Tales from the Hood (1995)

I don't really say I have a favorite horror movie. My opinions change day to day and sub genre by sub genre. But if I had to pick something if there was a gun to my head it would probably be Tales from the Hood. I've probably seen this movie the most of any horror movie that i've ever been graced with. I quote it on the daily. It lives rent free in my mind. Of all the movies this one is the hardest one to pick a favorite segment. For a first time I'll just go with the wrap around. Clarence Williams III just chews up the scenery with such fucking glee. There are moments in cinema you can tell the actor is just really having a good time and i am very sure he was having the time of his life as the undertaker in this one. While i could go on an on about this movie or any of the others on the list, it is that time to blow out the candle and bid farewell to another spooky season. But the winds of fall will be back some day. I'll be back someday. Happy Halloween, spookies.

louise glück was a tremendous poet in her own life and also taught, advised, and nurtured uncountable other poets. her picking richard siken’s crush for the yale younger poets prize is a well known fact, but she selected a number of other poets for publication during her tenure as the contest judge that i think are worth knowing.

peter streckfus, cuckoo (2003)

richard siken, crush (2004)

jay hopler, green squall (2005)

jessica fisher, frail-craft (2006)

fady joudah, the earth in the attic (2007)

arda collins, it is daylight (2008)

ken chen, juvenilia (2009)

katherine larson, radial symmetry (2010)

poetry is a community! read her—and also read the poets she wanted to promote.

What I think SMG characters' Main Thing would be if they played The Sims 4 👍 includes everyone I felt like including

[cicada-heart]

it occurred to me that i don’t need fancy printmaking paper to make prints when i have dozens of antique books that i’ve been waiting to repurpose. so today i’ll be making some prints on pages of late 19th/early 20th century novels 🤍📖

Biblically accurate fem skk. Like- even the length of the dresses are perfect for them.

Something I've noticed in my Supermassive Game playing is that they love to have a dude running around the woods/out of the main location by themselves.

The Quarry? Jacob is running around in his underwear and getting stuck in bear traps. Until Dawn? Mike is completely off the map and getting a dog. Devil in Me? Matt is booking it out to the lighthouse and getting (guess what) a dog.

Personally, I love it and they're some of my favorite characters to play

Me: *casually listening to this song*

The lyrics:

Truth, dare, spin bottles,

You know how to ball, I know Aristotle,

Brand new, full throttle,

Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto.

It's true, swear, scouts honor,

You know what you wanted and boy, you got her,

Brand new, full throttle,

You already know babe...

My mind:

When I write book/podcast/etc recommendations, I try to write them how I would want to see something pitched to me—what convinces me to read/listen to a work. And I’ve got a basic formula down:

Genre

Basic plot premise, 1-2 sentences for a short pitch or a paragraph for a long one.

What does it feel like to read? Is it fast-paced and action-y, or slow and sad, or dense and weird? Did it give me the shivers, or make me laugh, or break my heart, or go confusingly in-depth about the mechanics of wastewater treatment plant operation?

Something I particularly like about what it did. If the worldbuilding was particularly interesting, or if the narrative voice was compelling and distinctive, or the humor was constantly on-point, or the characterization was consistently well-done.

Talk about the queer identities of the main characters after I have done all of these things. This one is optional.

pick a book for me to take on work travel

Ends of the World by Peter Brannen - nonfiction geology book about earth's previous mass extinction events. The author is also the writer of one of my favorite climate history Atlantic articles I read for a college assignments.

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer - nonfiction true story of Chris Mccandless, who decided to leave society to live in the Alaskan wilderness and was later found dead. I want to read Into Thin Air too but I don't have a copy (my mom probably does but that won't help me for this trip)

Dune by Frank Herbert - do i have to describe what Dune is about at this point? I've never read it and I also refused to see the movies 'caues I wanted to read the book before doing so

A Song for the River by Philip Connors - nonfiction/memoir by the same author who wrote my beloved fire lookout book Fire Season. This book also has to do that, as well as a massive fire he witnessed in his national forest, but I think it's a lot more about grief and death.

What the Eyes Don't See by Mona Hanna-Attisha - nonfiction/memoir by one of the doctors who discovered the Flint water crisis. I'm actually already 90 pages into it but got distracted and haven't picked it up for like a year. It's very good and highly relevant to my work (though I don't do lead in tap water but you know it's great information to have)

31 days of Horror - Anthology List: Day 24 - Trick r' Treat (2007)

Trick r' Treat is one of those movies that just instantly became a must watch for the spooky season. The movie just captures that magic of Halloween for me, makes my inner child giddy. I love how the segments all are related to each other in some form. Really i could just was poetic about it all day. Favorite segment is a toughie for me. I think I'll have to go with "Halloween School Bus Massacre". There is something so pleasing not just seeing the bullies get it but them being children really just made it better. Not that i dislike kids, i just appreciate movies that don't let children be automatically safe. Let's face it, some kids have it come.

(void)

(from this voidtober list)

Sometimes, when the Void drags him under as he sleeps, it offers him the sight of her. He doesn't know if it's meant to be a gift. If it's just supposed to draw out a reaction. He lets it happen, like he's let many other things happen—like he keeps letting them happen, even now, though the specifics have changed—for the sake of continuing to move forward.

Corvo reaches out, touches the cold, hard shell of her cheek. There's nothing he can feel about this that would help, so he doesn't feel anything. There's nothing he can think about this that would help, so he doesn't think anything. It's just his fingertips, though he can't be sure it's really his fingertips in this place, and her skin, though it isn't really her skin, and the vague relief that these Void-constructed shapes don't move or speak. Not close enough to real to hurt. Just a memory in the stone. Not even his.

Her hand lifted in movement, her mouth open, eyes directed somewhere outside the scene. Half a shattered table and a few empty chairs. Same wallpaper as in the small sitting room, same furniture. Her earrings are unfamiliar. A present, maybe. While he was gone. He'd have seen them, otherwise—

He turns away before the thought can deepen.

Complete rando here, but I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for your translations. <3 I'm reading through the GG Comic Anthology right now because I cannot sleep and they are delightful and a wonderful bit of comfort.

Thanks for reading them!! Sorry it's been so long between updates on that manga, but it sounds like this is maybe your first readthrough of it so perhaps the gaps between updates hasn't been that bad haha
