Among the most hideous & ubiquitous historical fables taught in this country are about the “discovery” of America and the “settling” of North America by pioneers. But there’s even more.

This Indigenous People’s Day,decide to learn.Ned Blackhawk & @rebeccanagle.bsky.social’s works are extraordinary.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, as we recognize the history and deep cultural traditions of the diverse Indigenous Tribes, we must also reflect on the trauma and damage they have suffered in this country.

Today, we recommit to lifting up and supporting our Indigenous communities.

Ok, to sum up: what a 1950s “kill everything first!” manly man sci-fi movie, but it still captured the dread and paranoia of the source material.

Favorite characters: Nikki and the dogs. Favorite plot device: electricity solves everything.

I like the naturally flowing dialogue - it’s nice to watch characters not carefully waiting turns to talk. #horrorwatch

Carpenter’s “The Thing” is one of my all-time favorite horror films, so I’m especially excited to see this take. Onward! #horrorwatch

After a month or so of being unavailable, I get to enjoy some #horrorwatch tonight! If vexed by color commentary about “The Thing From Another World” (1951) please mute!
