Re: everybody getting got by an ai dog video: I want to talk about propaganda in general as well as ai in specific. We are awash in way too much stuff to pay deep attention to and that's absolutely by design.

This week's Romancing the Gothic 'Blast from the Past' is this talk introducting the Gothic author Sheridan Le Fanu (most famous, perhaps, as the author of 'Carmilla'!)

Want to know more about the author famous for his sapphic vampires?

Check it out!

It's an actual game plan on the right. They use it for book bans as well. They start with something easy: no porn in libraries. That hooks in the low information folks. Then you slowly broaden the scope until you're yanking any YA that violates Christian nationalism.
one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it
Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...

ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner:

"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

The deadline for this isn't for another few weeks but it is first come, first served.

There are only *6* (SIX) spaces left across the whole year with most months full so get in there!
We still have some talk spaces for next year's Romancing the Gothic online talk series.

A reminder that Romancing the Gothic is explicitly trans-inclusive and our programme next year will be celebrating that in numerous talks. Join us.

it does suck that my order and pre-order were bundled together. i did want to vlog more fake games this year, given that's what the big 2025 project is. but given the cost of the shipping, i wouldn't have been able to order them separately.

I like to think @fdsignifier.bsky.social took this down and only reuploaded it now solely so that I would not watch it and then ruin Thanksgiving with my family

(It was actually because of YouTube bs, if you've already watched it do him a solid and rewatch it because re-uploads usually tank views)

This was a really good and challenging talk which has implications for talking about haunting in lots of ways, but which gave me new eyes on the case-study films and the specifics of the intersections of caste and horror.

Recommend.
