'Tis the season for spooky movie history - and here's a wonderful longform video essay on #JamesWhale , director of #Frankenstein , #BrideOfFrankenstein , and more.

Attending (virtually) the Queering Wikipedia conference, happening today and tomorrow. (Pre-registration was required.)
1) The speakers are 🔥 !
2) Queer Wiki editors, and content, are under increased attack.
3) Responses from the Wikimedia Foundation have been, at their best, disheartening.

Perhaps I was naïve to hope that there would be some positive outcome, or even a constructive lesson learned, or that either of these characters would find some measure of reconciliation between #queer identity and the demands of society.

All people want the same thing: to live their lives authentically, love without judgment, raise their families, walk their dogs, volunteer at the food bank, and enjoy a night out at the movies. They simply want to belong and live free from fear, shame, or violence.
