In turn, I have just discovered McKee (who I think was recommended in palahniuk’s book???) and didn’t know there’s more McKee where this came from? 🤯

Consider This by Chuck Palahniuk is my current return-to favourite.

However, I just picked up Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Elements of Screenwriting by Robert McKee and I’m really digging it!

PSA: Public Scholars

I'm working on a resources page for our website to help scholars find homes for their op-eds, guest blogs, and otherwise expertise.

If you run a site or podcast that regularly posts such things and would like us to share it as a potential place to pitch, please let me know!

Here in Canada it’s illegal to practice fake witchcraft.

That being said, it is perfectly legal to practice real witchcraft.

This is the truest thing ever written. We aim for some outward measure when it’s really all about how you live life on the daily.

Hey guess what!!?

🎄🎄🎄 It's 75 days til Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

And I just so happen to have the perfect gift right here in a Christmassy book bundle for the readers in your life:

My book, @aduralde.bsky.social's Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas, and @thomasruyssmith.com's Searching for Santa Claus ↓↓

Everything is terrible right now in general, but in personal good news, my book has a cover and I'm so excited to share it!!!

Selling Out Santa is about Hollywood's manipulation of the Christmas holiday for socially conservative ends in the early Cold War 🗃️
www.barnesandnoble.com/w/selling-ou...

A book cover from De Gruyter. A faded American flag's red and white stripes sets the background. In the foreground are three Christmas baubles: a darker red ball is in front coming in from the left, a white ball is behind it, and a light navy blue ball hangs behind that. White text reads the title: Selling out Santa Hollywood Christmas Films in the Age of McCarthy. On the blue ball white text reads Vaughn Joy and the series name pop culture in context

They want you to believe that people dancing in inflatable animal suits can't change the world when, in fact, it's the only thing that ever has.

Because orchestrated, curated interactions in film, television and other media became the baseline even though they aren’t real, so now real interactions look and feel ridiculous.
