This vertical poster for "The Immortician" features a black-and-white high-contrast composition with gold-toned typography. ​Top: The title "The Immortician" is written in a serif font with gold gradients, framed by a black ornamental archway. ​Center: A black silhouette of a long-haired figure in a gown stands against a white background. Parts of the silhouette, specifically the head and arms, appear to be disintegrating into small particles. ​Middle: Three words—"Love.", "Obsession.", and "Decay."—are spaced horizontally across the center in a black serif font. ​Bottom: The base features dark, textured shapes resembling clouds or terrain. White text centered at the bottom credits "WRITTEN and DIRECTED by B. VAN BODEGOM" followed by a four-line synopsis. ​Footer: The bottom line lists three film titles: Corpse Bride × 50 First Dates × Warm Bodies.

CORPSE BRIDE × 50 FIRST DATES × WARM BODIES

A bored immortal mortician resurrects the woman of his dreams—again and again. But love becomes obsession, and she's decaying faster than he can let go.

sick shit (laudatory)

A thing I love about Star Trek is how often I'll be like "he would NOT say that" and then a minute later the show is like "you're so right, bestie! That was An Impostor."

Happy Neil Banging Out The Tunes Day to all who celebrate

Headline on Hollywood Reporter that reads ”Paddington 4, Escape From New York' Reboot in the Works”

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

It definitely can be! It's also validating in some ways when they go "bro what the FUUUUUUCK" about it.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

This made me laugh very hard.

I keep wanting to tell funny stories from during my marriage and then realizing partway through that they're not funny and are actually vile and traumatic but by then the sunk cost fallacy has kicked in so I just get to finish the tale to the slack-jawed horror of my friends. Oopsies!

I watched a bunch of TNG all day (still not feeling well) but I'm now getting ready for bed.

Everyone will be delighted to know exactly how professional the clowns' behind the scenes communications are.

Everyone read "Rawdogging Wellness" by @joellekillian.bsky.social today!

On a green background, centered, a painting of the author (a person with long, red hair and a nest of snakes on her head a la Medusa) looking over her shoulder toward the viewer. In the bottom left corner of the frame, an illustration of a creepy clown peeks out from the corner. Top text: Joelle Killian's story "Rawdogging Wellness" is free to read on the Die Laughing Website. Bottom text, in a speech bubble coming from the clown: Be a REAL MAN, go RAW

Do you have what it takes to be an Alpha? A real man's man? To eat like the apex predator you are? It's good for you, we promise. Now get ready, everyone is watching. "Rawdogging Wellness" by Joelle Killian , the final story of Issue 6, is free to read today.

That is SUCH a good film. Damn.

Found it! Yippee!

I'm feeling super under the weather and was just seized by a powerful and inexplicable urge to rewatch Twelve Angry Men. I hope it's streaming somewhere because I don't have a DVD player yet.

So the image has nothing to do with the movie AT ALL but you should absolutely watch the movie because it is VERY good. I saw it when it streamed through the Brooklyn Sci Fi Film Festival and adored it. Go go go!

I've a little bit experienced that when I switched to Theodore from my old name and put it up here...like...I am a Theo, if we're shortening, and I will never forget how my soul left my body the first time someone called me Ted lol

But if "it's sir actually" would be a somewhat normal thing to say I can practice that.

Yeah I guess I just don't really want to be called "sir" either but that's more like "why are you calling me anything please I just have a question about my internet bill" lolsob.

This isn't for people I know. I just want a quick, undramatic way to end the agony for the duration of a single call.

Like, can I just say "I'm a man, actually"? The sheer number of times I get called ma'am on one phone call probably would impact me less if each one felt less like a punch in the jaw.

I want to be decisive without making them feel guilty or disclosing that I am trans (and thus making correctly gendering me "political" or "optional").

I have a question for men (particularly cis men) following me: if you were talking on the phone to a customer service representative and that person called you ma'am, how (if at all) would you correct them? I can't be the only man with a high voice and I doubt you're all just swallowing the error.

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

In case anyone is wondering how I ultimately felt about The Iron Garden Sutra by @thesuiway.bsky.social the answer is DEEPLY UNWELL (positive). Highly recommend the audiobook as well. Gorgeous performance. STUNNING book.

I'm glad!! I sincerely loved it. So much.

I finished the book and I wanna be flippant and say something like "how dare you" but truly I just need to let you know I just stood in my kitchen and sobbed through about the last 20 minutes and now am rung out and breathless and elated and telling EVERYONE. So um. Thanks for writing that. Jerk. 😭🫀

You never seen dudes rock as hard as this!

Just sent this to my boyfriend. He's gonna be horrified. 😈

Oh THAT is a mood.

QUESTION:

Who knows of ANY research funding for US humanities scholars that has been awarded to a trans project in the past year?

Not saying that the awarding org *claims* to be open to those projects.

But actually *awarding* anything.

Please repost for visibility, it'd help me a lot!
