Exploring the history of bizarre and often super creepy representations of babies in art. Mostly for absurdist humor - but also for what they say about adults, societies, cultures…

@booker.senate.gov what are you/Dems/courts going to do about this? It seems not only reckless, interest conflicted, and horribly prejudiced, but illegal. It is a public service and a private platform. Appreciate your criticism of it but, without planned action, that is just virtue signaling.

I also suggest more recent readings (Sontag even is guilty of quite reactionary conservatism not apt in today’s sociocultural landscape). Perhaps link fascism2025 to toxic masculinity and old school cinephilia?
Great option:

We don’t need to require or even offer screenings of Birth of a Nation. It can/should be acknowledged as a seminal text in white supremacist and racist screen culture, but I won’t show it anymore, even as cautionary tale - refuse to give it oxygen. We can start amputating cancers from the canon.

‘House of Yes’ and ‘Waiting for Guffman’, absolutely essential. Also: I want to go to there!!!
