Ha!

How long did that take you

"BOYCOTI SCMS 2026 FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, THE SCMS BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS REFUSED TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE PALESTINE OR DECRY ANTI-PALESTINIAN RACISM AND THE ISRAELI GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE. INSTEAD, THE SCMS BOARD HAS: 1) IGNORED THE WISHES OF OVER 700 OF ITS MEMBERS TO MAKE A PUBLIC STATEMENT CONDEMNING THE ISRAELI SCHOLASTICIDE AND MEDIACIDE IN PALESTINE 2) ISSUED MASS MESSAGES TO DENY THE PERPETRATION OF RACISM AND HARASSMENT BY A PRO-ISRAEL AGITATOR AT THE 2025 CONFERENCE 3) DISABLED VITAL COMMUNICATION PLATFORMS FOR CAUCUSES AND SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS 4) INSTITUTED AUTHORITARIAN CHANGES TO THE ASSOCIATION'S ANNUAL ELECTION NOMINATION PROCESS WITHOUT RATIONALE OR EXPLANATION SEND A MESSAGE TO THE BOARD. BOYCOTT THE CONFERENCE. Scholars of Cinema and Media Studies in Solidarity with Palestine (SCMSSP, formerly PSWG)"

If I can log Suede concert videos 9 times, then you should have this, it’s only fair.

@jamesleocahill.bsky.social just in case you wanted to figure out a way to combine your dogs project with your groundbreaking work on Cats

If you’re interested in Restoring Truth and Sanity™️ to history, consider submitting a proposal to the special issue of @femmediahist.bsky.social that I’m editing on “Reproductive Politics and Media Histories.” Due APRIL 1.

I'm blushing!

if i die because of a bike lane doug ford rips out, please stick my body in a woodchipper in front of his house

Kevin Chabot's chapter "The Diabolical Image" in his book Poetics of the Paranormal might be useful!

SCMS has successfully avoided being as splashy as MLA and AHA on this issue, but they shouldn't be allowed to skate by! The largest petition in the org's history was ignored and no statements have been made despite similar statements about Ukraine and BLM.

Abject terror!

I watch a lot of horror but this scene from Lost Highway remains the most singularly terrifying thing I’ve ever seen. RIP to a legend.

Normal cats being normal
