Shocked and saddened to hear of Sam Neill’s death. Always a joy to see on screen and a rare actor who could skip between genre and mainstream film, treating both with equal respect. RIP.

They gave US zinester Elizabeth Soto *50 fucking years* in prison for publishing a zine that supports an anti-fascism stance. Prosecutors also used her feminism themed zine, and an anti-AI zine as evidence against her. This is unprecedented.

Bit of a last-minute one, but me and @bobfischer.bsky.social will be bringing the Scarred For Life Folk Horror show to Whitby's Hand of Glory Festival next Friday 1 May at 9pm - and it's free. You heard me: free! Mayday weekend in Goth Central? It's like folklore Christmas!
