At the newsletter: On the persistence of the human spirit despite futility, and 2005's "DeVour," where Satan is the rare Mom who DOES want you to play video games: https://jude-doyle.ghost.io/herediterrible-devour-david-winkler-2005/

Not to make this ENTIRELY about me, but I do have male gender markers on my documentation, and at this point, I'm starting to worry that if I left the country for a work trip, I wouldn't be able to get back in. [contains quote post or other embedded…

SPEAKING of under-acknowledged influences, if you watch "Night of the Comet" (1984) about two quippy teen girls brawling with zombies in post-apocalyptic LA, you will instantly understand at least 80% of the DNA for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

For a while, my goth daughter's favorite movie was "Coraline," and I'm so relieved I can now tell you that it's a sexist garbage movie where the mom is a Big Old Bitch because she has to Work all the time and poor, lovable, storytelling writer Dad is just…

I've been thinking about how Gaiman surrounded himself with talented women -- how he ultimately was a man who made his career on women's names, on women's art, on women's faces, on women's fandom, and how he turned around, out of that debt and dependency,…

When I watched "Lord of the Rings" I used to get so irritated by Legolas using his magic elf senses to say, like, "a red sun rises" (in front of the sunrise, which is obvious, to everyone) and now whenever I see someone tweeting "this is illegal" about the…

My "Chloe Zhao does Buffy" enthusiasm is muted by the fact that "Nomadland" was amazing, and as far from "Buffy" as humanly possible, whereas her Marvel feature was... bad. It was bad! Can we not just have "I Saw the TV Glow" and all the millions of things…

I'm trying not to be a doomer. I just think it's important to know that, whatever fight you THOUGHT you were in as of November 2024, that fight is over now, and we lost. He's in. He does not have many checks on his power, and won't obey the ones that…

Nothing in history has ever suggested that people in crowds are capable of deploying sound logic or thinking about the long-term consequences of their actions or reining in their anger once it's sparked, and if your strategy for survival is to make human…

I am as weary of "here's the one neat trick Dems can use to beat Trump" takes as I am of "here's what trans people could have done to avoid being sacrificed at our Satanic altar of progress" takes and it's because both of them assume blind, unthinking…

My daughter is a Cancer with her moon in Leo -- same as my grandma, my childhood best friend, and Lana Del Rey -- and I am not asking you to believe in astrology, but I WILL tell you she has brushed her hair ten separate times this morning waiting for her…

Every time I clock another trans person out here I look them in the eye and nod and -- because I have gone feral after 10+ years of working at home and 6+ years of living in the woods -- don't do much else, and now I'm just wondering who they were and what…

I have historically been resistant to the idea that Men are Traumatized by Patriarchy because it's like saying that I was "traumatized" by all the times my grandparents let me win at Candyland, but I genuinely have no other explanation for whatever the…

This ties into the problem of people not knowing women can tell jokes, and thus interpreting everything they say very literally -- like, on some level, the billboards for "THE NEW YEAR'S EVE SHOW" or just "SUE: COMING SOON" are gags, and funny ones. We'd…

I'm sure that everyone is going to talk about "Why D'Ya Do It," which is only fair, since that song is terrifying, but this song from her mid-2000s comeback is with me all the time. Which is saying something, considering like a third of the album was…

Endlessly, legalistically arguing over precise verbiage is how we got suckered into spending a full week explaining why Elon's sieg-hail was a sieg-hail, while they managed to release 8 different executive orders criminalizing trans existence and open…

"Grow your own food" and "start a queer farm commune" are two ideas that regularly enter my mind until I remember the disastrous summer I tried to grow one (1) cherry tomato plant that I bought from IKEA [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Look: Anybody who makes a lot of money on Substack exists at such a level of fame that they would make a lot of money without Substack. If you are a rising or marginalized creator on that platform, please know that its purpose is less to enrich you than to…

Donut the Dog has shown me how to lifemaxx by being an absolute demon of unmitigated destructive energy from 5 AM to 8 AM, running around and sticking his face into the snow for half an hour, then falling asleep until the rest of the family comes home

ICYMI: In which I posit that David Lynch fetishized women's suffering, and also had profound compassion for it, and spent his life trying to reconcile the conflict (but, like, with weird saxophone riffs and dumpster demons):…

I have been trying not to post constantly about all of this, because I don't add anything to the conversation by freaking out, but I am aware of all of it, and I am slowly getting used to the grind of waking up to 17 separate catastrophes every morning …

True story: I tried to watch LANDMAN, a story where a Man works the Land, thinking "it can't be that Republican-coded" and it literally opens with a dude ordering a latte and his coworkers throwing it out the window of a car in protest [contains quote…

Every time I see MAW panels in the wild, I am just blown away that I got to be part of it. I feel honored to be a very small footnote in A.L. Kaplan's inevitable rise to world domination [contains quote post or other embedded content]
