New story up, and this one’s got it all! We’re talking an accursed plastics factory, living mannequins, a ghost, and an otherworldly horror, all along a truly bad stretch of road.

You can read this new story in the Your Bundle of Fear section at bloodytwine.com.

Here’s an excerpt:

The first sign was all white with the figure of “Fancy Joe” on the left side of it. Fancy Joe was a cartoon man in a dapper black tux and red bowtie, his shortcut blond hair slicked up and back in that iconic ’50s style, his dress shoes a gleaming black in the late-day sun. The words “Do you know Joe?” were doled out in a curvy red font right next to him…

Staring blankly again into the night. My thoughts halted, my senses dulled.

I don't know what to think of this malaise. How to grasp it, what does it mean.

So I pick up my phone and engage with content.

Trudging through this plastic ocean full of curated versions of what I assume to be people at the other end.

Posting poems and pictures, pouting lips and poised hips, politics and puppy dogs.

My malaise becomes depression, wich gives way to laughter at an absurd realization.

The world is in my hand. I have no desire to explore it.

All I want to do, is break it.

Nothing is sacred…everything is a scam…

It’s a plastic world with plastic people ,with plastic intentions that feed their fake plastic souls by scamming everyone out of their genuine hearts. The plastic population of this world needs to burn until there is nothing left.

there's something kinda funny to me about certain ways scar tends to be drawn because it's like. okay imagine hypothetically you took a distillation of fanon scar designs and showed it to someone who's never even heard of a minecraft, and asked them what they think this guy might be like. we're ignoring context here, pretend we're showing them a ref sheet. and it's like, alright, here's a rugged looking buff guy. nice abs. lots of scars. he's got a smug grin on his face. very shirtless. he looks like the love interest in a bodice ripper. i bet he's got some dark angsty secret he keeps buried underneath that suave facade. but not buried too deeply, just enough to intrigue.

and then you go watch third life and he is like a cat whose owner keeps desperately trying to make him stop eating plastic.

Plastic People: The Hidden Crisis of Microplastics (dirs. Ben Addelman & Ziya Tong) x DOXA 2024.

You probably don't want to know how just many microplastic organisms you've consumed inside of your body that are slowly destroying you from the inside. Doom and gloom aside, the environmental documentary dives into the scientific impact of our plastics-dominated consumption throughout all levels of society. It's an informative piece diving into the history of plastic as a material and its ubiquity in everyday life.

Screening at the 2024 DOXA Documentary Film Festival as part of the Justice Forum program at the SFU Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema on May 10 and also at the Rio Theatre on May 25.

SXSW: Plastic People

Did you know most plastic is not recyclable & Less than 10% of plastic worldwide ever gets recycled. #plasticpeople #documentary #SXSW2024 #SXSW

One never really realizes the environmental impact of everyday items we use in the 21st century from toothbrushes to carpets to hair used for faux locs, braids, wigs and weaves.  There is plastic that has been ingested living within your body right now that could possible become an invisible invader  to your health.  Can anything be done to stop the invasion ultimately making us plastic…

I’m sticking with 2X2s for the time being, mainly because who am I to pick what I think is the best of the four? This one seems hyper focused on fake faces. Pretty wild, not especially useful?

The Plastic People of the Universe - psychedelic rock band from Prague. These freaks performed behind the Iron Curtain. Some of them went to prison for it.
