I’m listening to the Weird Studies podcast and of course they talk about sleep paralysis in the first episode and I’m never not thinking about this passage re: premodern paranormality https://twitter.com/mysunksol/status/1134696780241592320

episode 2 they’re talking about PKD’s Black Iron Prison as the particular fear produced in the Cold War that never left us & remains indicative of the age, but ahaha o u guys have not been inside the circular firing squads of queer discourse, The Fear, u see, feels different now https://twitter.com/mysunksol/status/1018201567571275776
