I stand with AOC. It's too bad the rest of you old DNC millionaires couldn't do the same before we were here. She is exactly what we need.

Sarah Elizabeth Lewis highlighting the essential role the arts and culture play in the pursuit of justice as part of the annual MLK speaker series at Juilliard. What a privilege it was to hear her speak on this occasion and all because of a billboard on Broadway. #visionandjustice

For NightTide, @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social explores Carrie White’s journey; exposing the trifecta of self-loathing, isolation, & ridicule that defines adolescence, fueling her own work & understanding of how we internalize these rites of passage. nighttidemag.com/2025/01/31/m... #horrorsky 👻📽️

The best newspaper ad in the history of movie marketing?

Sorry to hear about David Lynch. I worked beside him (same studio) while he was making BLUE VELVET. He answered my questions about his work with grace and honesty. I especially enjoyed his deeply existential comic strip, The Angriest Dog in the World.”

i wanted to bake a cherry pie today for David Lynch, but i didn’t have any cherries and it would’ve taken me multiple days to prepare the dough. so instead, i baked these cookies that i thought had his “golden sunshine” ☀️ 🍪

'Eraserhead' (1977) dir: David Lynch 📽️ #RIP

It says a lot that every single creative I love and respect is pouring out the heart felt sentiments for David Lynch.

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

I wouldn’t be a published author if not for David Lynch. In the 1980s I stopped writing because I was tired of collecting rejections. It was after watching Twin Peaks, which scrambled my brain in the best way that I went back to writing. I am full of tears and endless gratitude.

If you’re planning on watching any Lynch, my advice is: don’t watch any analysis videos, don’t think about what stuff is “supposed” to mean, just get your own unique experience from it!! I think people have become far too concerned with the “correct” interpretations of media. Just experience it!!!

To pay respect to everything we've lost with Lynch's passing, I'll be showing a selection of his films in the Deadlights Theater tomorrow from 2pm to midnight. This day of programming is free. All are welcome. ERASERHEAD THE ELEPHANT MAN BLUE VELVET LOST HIGHWAY MULHOLLAND DRIVE FIRE WALK WITH ME

FYI, per the Criterion Insta, they’re showing Lynch all night on the stream.

Just a random pic of me and @sgj.bsky.social because I really dig it.

Exciting! Congratulations!
