Caught in a Bad Fauxmance by Elle Gonzalez Rose (5th) Devin Báez is prepared for a relaxing winter break after his rough, first semester of art school. Sure, his family’s old Florida lake cabin is falling apart, and everything in it reminds him of his late mom. And yes, the Baezes’ next-door neighbors, the Seo-Cookes, are still petty, but things could be worse. That is, until Devin runs into the…

Amended Petition.  October 15th 1922.

A PETITION TO THE PRESIDENT

From

THE INTERNATIONAL UPLIFT LEAGUE.

To His Excellency,

The President of

The United States of America,

The White House, Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. President:

For the GOOD and true HONOR of our beloved country, the United States of America, in the NAME of ALMIGHTY GOD, LYNCHING should be abolished.  Opinion seems unanimous that the United States Government possesses permanently the greater jurisdictional control (about 3/4) over each United States Citizen; and the State in which the citizen resides holds the remaining (1/4) jurisdiction.

Hence the elimination of LYNCHING, our most heinous STIGMA, should be accomplished through the Federal Government, because the respective States, for more than fifty years, have failed to suppress LYNCHING.  Therefore, we urgently appeal to our honored President, and hereby PETITION him to URGE the enactment into LAW, during the Extra Session of Congress, of either Senator France's or Representative Dyer ANTI-LYNCHING BILL.  By such worthy and magnanimous ACT, Mr. President, you will immortalize your NAME like the illustrious Lincoln when we signed the Emancipation Proclamation.  Amen.

For the Women.

(Miss) Emma J. Chrichton

For the Men.

David Newton E. Campbell

Secretary I.U. League

P.S. We hope to secure millions of signatures to this PETITION and forward same duly.

Indie Ink Awards Voting!

There are a lot of books on the ballot, but my favorite read by far this year was The Orchid and the Lion by Gabriel Hargrave. It's sequel; the Lion and the Dahlia, is also in several categories. They include-

Best Setting (Both)

Writing the Future we Need: LGBTQ Rep (Both)

The Lion and the Dahlia is also in the categories-

Side Character MVP

Wittiest Character

Trans and Non Binary rep

Other Cool People I know- Including A.E. Bennett and Patrick Dugan also have books on the ballot.

Patrick Dugan is an IRL friend of mine and an all around good dude. His two books, Ashen Orb Bounty and Never Steal From Dragons are also up for Indie Ink Awards. Patrick has been helping me through my own journey to become an indie author myself.

A.E. Bennett has Gathering of the Four on the ballot as well. Bennett has also been kindly answering my questions as I work on getting my first book published.

I believe very strongly that creators can do a lot of good by lifting one another up and all three of these authors have demonstrated that they'll help and encourage other indie writers.

The highlights and lowlifes of Hollywood history. A classic film podcast for the people!

What’s in the Basket is a female-hosted film history podcast that combines research, comedy, and progressive politics to deliver the absolute hottest of takes on Old Hollywood, modern movies, and fan culture.

Episodes available to date:

01. Basket Case (1982): Do You Think Belial Had the Dick?

On the debut episode of What’s in the Basket, we take a trip to 42nd Street for our discussion of Basket Case (1982). Tiff learns why God invented pop filters, Amelia chows down on some hot dogs, and Candice wants to see Belial shake that nasty thing.

02. Pillow Talk (1959): Iron Maiden in a Pillbox Hat

On this week's episode of What's in the Basket, we hop on the party line for our discussion of Pillow Talk (1959). We tackle the significance of Ross Hunter, Doris Day, and Rock Hudson in mid-century popular culture, express our undying love for charismatic powerhouse Tony Randall, and bring up class warfare more times than you might expect.

Bonus 01. Two Constance Bennett Pre-Codes: Oh Please, Dear Little Fat God of Love

On this week's bonus episode of What's in the Basket, we break into the RKO vault for our research-free discussion of two minor pre-codes starring Constance Bennett: Sin Takes a Holiday (1930) and Lady With a Past (1932). We mourn the tragic but very brave death of our late comrade-in-arms Amelia, Candice accidentally records an entire episode with her laptop mic, and Ben Lyon takes a beating.

03. The Thing (1982): Is This the Most Hated Movie of All Time? (NOT CLICKBAIT)

On this week’s episode of What’s in the Basket, we’re zipping up our parkas for our discussion of The Thing (1982). We marvel over Kurt Russell’s luscious locks, tackle the film’s lack of women and its approach to gender, struggle to comprehend the negative critical response that it received upon release, and learn way, way too much about Candice’s love of puppets.

Bonus 02. Two Anthony Mann B-Pictures: My Cousin Knows Someone Who Swallowed a Can Opener

On this week’s bonus episode of What’s in the Basket, we’re heading out to Poverty Row for our research-free discussion of two Republic Pictures programmers from early in the career of director Anthony Mann: Nobody’s Darling (1943) and Strangers in the Night (1944). We jam out to “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” with our cool teen friends, bond with mysterious women over the homoerotic poetry of A.E. Houseman, and have a few questions about phenobarbital and the physics of falling portraits.
