TWIN CITIES MARK YOUR CALENDARS MOON PALACE BOOKS PRESENTS ALICE STOEHR Book launch: Again, Harder BOOK LAUNCH @ MOON PALACE THURS MAY 7 6PM BE THERE!

for my locals: it begins

All Us Saints by Katherine Packert Burke | Moon Palace Books “All Us Saints is a gorgeous puzzle-box of a book, with the pieces carved from dread, sex, and secrets. Katherine Packert Burke has inventively inverted the psycho-killer, revealing something new and,...

Preorder the book at Moon Palace to get it signed btw, you're gonna wanna be on the ground floor for this one before it's the talk of the trans lit town: moonpalacebooks.com/item/H4Xn4e0...

Thrilled to get to help kick off the local launch event for this great (and very upsetting lol) book, Minneapolis crew, turn out on May 19 😤🕯

Obligatory plug again of the essay I wrote on this film for the Trylon blog, which we talked about a bit on this podcast: bsky.app/profile/nata...

Only thing I love more than watching HEAT is talking HEAT with podcasters who come slinging HEAT

The rare movie where you think everything's been said about it before, but a podcast can only crack a fraction of the film (shoutout @kransekage.bsky.social for making this an excellent guest tag team)

Wow, even more Michael Mann podcasting! This time I got to be on with @nataliesnotinit.bsky.social who is brilliant and had some characteristically incredible film takes to share.

𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆. 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒚.

Today: Womenn on Mann on Trylove!

With @kransekage.bsky.social and @nataliesnotinit.bsky.social, we finally crack open this melodramatic, load-bearing high water mark of crime cinema.

Then, it’s time for some rapid-fire HEAT-adjacent trivia. Buckle in.

A curly brown-haired woman stands in front of a bathroom mirror and holds a phone. She is wearing a pink G.L.O.S.S shirt with an image of lips on it and a black-and-white polka dot skirt.

A still of Elizabeth Coffey, a brunette woman with shoulder-length hair, in PINK FLAMINGOS. She wears a black-and-white polka dot plunge dress with a wide white belt, and is laughing in the still.

Also, because I was asked after, I did NOT intend to half-cosplay Elizabeth Coffey's flasher lol. I completely forgot what she wears and me picking this skirt was entirely divine (pun intended) trans coincidence

(Made me so happy that her scene got one of the biggest roars of laughter and applause)

A very distant picture of a woman onstage at a movie theater in front of closed curtains. In the spotlight, it's difficult to make out the details of her appearance beyond her pink shirt and black-and-white polka dot skirt.

Last night's screening rocked, holy shit, thank you SO much to all the many people who turned out to celebrate filth ❤️🦩

For @thequietus.com, had an utterly fantastic time chatting with xenofeminist noise rock duo Guttersnipe about their brilliant new album—their first in 8 years—and its ties to embodied cognition, crisis energy, and the joys of looking at and squirming around with the worms

hi folks! a year of successful freelancing has left me with a bit of a tax burden, so here's a general plug for my substack. 5/month or 30/year gets you a new article from me every week, plus access to nearly a full year of archives. subscribe here! capybaroness.substack.com/welcome

This Guttersnipe interview by @nataliesnotinit.bsky.social is very excellent

Returning with their first album in eight years, Guttersnipe's Uroceras Gigas and Tipula Confusa tell Natalie Marlin how xenofeminism can save rock music from stagnation, and what we can learn from non-human creatures

We didn't deserve this day.

Good to know you'll always be one of the premier Twin Cities' indie theater hypemen, no matter where you post from ❤️
