"The term ‘folk horror’ is a loaded one, and WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED explores the many ways that we alternately celebrate, conceal and manipulate our own histories in an attempt to find spiritual resonance in our surroundings."

If you have the capacity for a rather nerdy and most excellent three hours of exploration on #FolkHorror, I recommend you watch the #WoodlandsDarkAndDaysBewitched #AHistoryOfFolkHorror #documentary for this #Spooktober.🕯️💀🧙🎃✨

"More #SevereWeather Outbreaks With Large #Hail are #Forecast with the new large frontal system developing across #Europe as we head into the final week of July"

We may get fucked again before all the damage has been assessed and repairs made, but let's hope we'll be okay. 🙏 Stay safe everyone in #Croatia, the #Balkans, and Europe.🤞🍀❤️

Too much work almost made me forget it's @derthomas's #ThrashThursday. And since my energy levels are too depleted to dig out a fresher recommendation, you'll have to do with my favorite #ThrashMetal band of all times. 🤘😜

Dance with us, Europe! 🤘

Don't let #EBU and the #genocidal #apartheid state engineer their win!

If you can, vote #Croatia even if you're not watching tonight. 🇭🇷🐈❤️🖤💚

@semantic_distorter "The Riverbed is studded with mouths that open at proximity of Resurrection Beasts, and no ghosts venture deeper than the bathyrhoic layer. Anyone who has entered a stoma has never returned. It is a portal to the place I cannot touch—somewhere I don’t fully comprehend, where my power and my authority are utterly meaningless."

Hey fellow #TechnicalWriters and everyone else who writes and maintains #documentation, have you ever used #HelpNDoc or #Paligo as alternatives to #RoboHelp or #MadCapFlare? I'm researching "affordable" alternatives for creating offline docs (PDF and/or other outputs), so if you have any suggestions, fire away. Thanks!

Note: #MSWord is out of the question. 😁

Although I don't listen to #ThrashMetal that much anymore, I like to be reminded now and then that #Coroner still rips and remains one of my favorite bands that thanks to their melding of various styles had introduced me not only to thrash but #prog, #avantgarde, #technical, and #experimental metal as well.

"The real reason bosses are freaked out by remote work" by Aki Ito is a great read and does not apply only to the America's CEOs but other continents and countries, too.

Thanks to @troberts and @yayKM I've strayed off my backlog course and started watching #Deadloch, and after the first episode, all I can say is... I want more of those insanities and profanities!!! 😍

I had caught #Creamerie recommendation via @OldAintDead and was immediately drawn to it (without reading the review until after S1).
https://mastodon.sdf.org/@OldAintDead/110791663158375801
So far, two episodes into S2, I'm enjoying the characters, the world building, the absurdity of surviving in a #feminist #dystopian #nightmare, and the whole bunch of "yeah, I can totally see that happening." It's dark and hilarious, and I love it! 🖤

Thanks everyone for recommending #Nimona, I did not know I needed a good cry today.

there is this new brand of influencer. they promote "deinfluencing" and say that not killing yourself over a new gadget is okay, great even. then they add something about vacationing in Croatia instead of Seychelles being also enough. istg, touch grass, eat grass, whatever

First communion season is here!
it's so insane. I've been living in this country my whole life, and my brain still can't comprehend things that happen around kids getting to eat the body of christ. it's a blessed sacrament. okay. fine. but business around it? deranged.

Bosnian author Lana Bastašić, who earlier this month cut ties with her German publisher over silence on Gaza, was "disinvited" from a literature festival in Salzburg.

Her presence "would imply a positioning on their part". Well, this email implies their positioning alright.
