Thank you for this topic. It's something I suffer from and none of my partners have ever understood the multitude of issues around vaginismus - from the physical, to the emotional/mental. I appreciate this conversation so others know they're not alone and not 'weird' for having issues with any form of intercourse.

In addition to all the above, I also recommend looking into vaginal dilators as part of the therapy to see if that's an option for you.

We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives. Raise. Awareness.

This is great, thank you! I've heard of Pumpkinhead and Sorority Row but haven't watched them yet. Dreamscape and Slumber sound great too.

Thanks so much, really appreciate it!

Hi Winter!

Could you recommend some lesser-known horror movies along the lines of A Nightmare on Elm Street or It?

I'm looking for the typical 'group bands together to stop an evil entity' sort of thing, but I've seen all the classic slashers and well known films. I'm doing some research and have hit a wall with all the usual suspects.

Thank you!

top of my head currently I’d say dreamscape, slumber, the house on sorority row and pumpkin head.

man you got me thinking and I’m sure more will come to me the more I ponder it throughout the day.

Nothing against either of them, I respect their hustle.. but can the universe please stop foisting Sidney Sweeny and Glen Powell onto me? I don't follow either of them yet they're all over my socials. 😭

I'm so tired of over exposure. Please, go away. Make me miss you for at least a few minutes before you pop back into my life.

Joe's not perfect - not by a long shot. But he's the only choice in this election that will protect your right to vote in future elections.

if i see one more article, post, or news anchor talking about how joe biden is old, i'm putting my fist through a window. i feel like i've gone through the fucking looking glass.

this is project 2025, trump's plan for what he'll do if elected. whatever you think is in there, it's worse. watch a breakdown of the highlights here. this man wants to unravel the fabric of our democracy for good - this all aside from his vitriolic hatred of poc, his determination to start ww3, and the fact that he can't string a sentence together without telling outrageous and easily verifiable lies. his administration will start their crusade to exterminate trans people on day one, and they won't stop there.

do not talk to me about how joe biden is old, as if that could ever matter to me more than my life or the lives of my friends and family. my little sister is 14, she's trans, and i don't know what to tell her when we talk about politics, because one of these people wants her dead and the other one is old and some of you are still acting like those problems are equals.

i can't fucking stand this. i'm not hearing it this time, we are not repeating 2016. refusing to vote is not an act of protest, it is an act of complacency, and our most vulnerable will suffer for your negligence. vote like your life depends on it, because for some of us, it really fucking does.

You're not voting for Joe Biden. You're voting for the people he will place in his administration. People who are trying to improve things for all of us against a machine that's been in motion for decades, determined to roll back the 20th century.

You want Stephen Miller to make decisions on what you can do with your body, or who you can love, what your education should be, how clean the air you breathe is?

Not voting for Joe Biden and every single Democrat up and down the ballot isn't a protest. It isn't standing on principle. It's a gross display of privilege that will cost the lives of the very people you claim to stand for.

Thank you for this @cinemagal! Great behind the scenes insights into one of my favorite movies of all time. It was so groundbreaking.

Wowza some of those screen test actors... I couldn't imagine how different the film would be with any of those actors instead.

AI does not create, it STEALS.

If you have to rely on AI to do, or complete your piece of art, then you are not the artist you claim to be.

Art comes from the craft of the piece, not the outcome.

There is no such thing as a protest vote (or non-vote) when there are public "policy" plans in place to put immigrants in camps and criminalize anyone who doesn't look, think, pray, love like the Christo-fascists do.

And while Biden and US policy has failed miserably (for decades) to protect numerous groups of people, Trump and his people have said publicly they will give Gaza to Israel. Jared Kushner has already talked about once Gaza is "cleared out and cleaned up", how good their beaches will be to build resorts.

Not voting for Biden doesn't punish him for decades of poor US policy. It punishes everyone else for it.

Oh thanks, I'll check that part out!

I'm currently working on a passion project that blends kids and horror so that's right up my bloody alley.

Insomnia is back. My brain just won’t shut off tonight.

For some stupid ass reason I decided to watch Terrifier 2 and now I’m just sitting here questioning my sanity.

[snarklight]

Okay thank you! I'll have to skip them then. I also was drawn to the Art character as I work in kids media but love horror so I'm always torn between those worlds.

I don't mind *some* gore, but I draw the line when it comes to feeling like gore that is made just to fulfil the fantasies of dudebros who want to violate women. Which is a lot of movies, unfortunately...

[snarklight]

Okay, I have to ask... I want to watch these movies, but I started the first one and stopped at one point because it looked like it was just going to be pure torture porn... is it??

So many people love these movies (the aesthetic of Art is amazing, IMO) but I can't watch just obscene torture of women.

A must see for everyone.

A vote for any Republican, anywhere on the ballot, is telling the world that you support the torture and killing of women.

Dems are far from perfect, but the only way to stop this madness, is to keep mad people from positions of power.

We all deserve better. ❤️

OMG, this is me! Haha, I forgot I sent this to you. 😂 Are you serious, a whole new fic???

it’s giving frankie going camping

I immediately envisioned one of those meditation retreats where talking isn't allowed so you're left to subtle looks and touches to convey the message to him to meet you in the woods later... 🫣

nonnie you sent this a while ago and i was hoarding it bc i wanted to tell you it inspired a whole fic idea 😭 i’m keeping it on the back burner for now but my god

Support all writers. Our friends to the north are also facing a looming strike. They supported the WGA’s fight, so let’s support the Writers Guild of Canada. They’re fighting against producers wanting to use their original work to train AI which will eventually make screenwriters obsolete.

Fuck AI and corporate greed.

Sometimes, you just gotta accept people for who they are, not who you want them to be, and for your own sanity, leave them where they’re at.
