After nearly two years of rumors, speculation and anticipation, the Criterion box set is finally here! Here’s a video as massive as the set itself, featuring a rundown of what’s included (and what’s not), a history of Godzilla on home video up to now, and a few thoughts on what the future holds.
‘Roots’ is a creation of Pumpkinrot, who creates new and horrifying things for each Halloween. Roots, according to the creator, is a humanoid creature that emits the smell of decaying flesh to attract ravens or any other Corvid, though is known to eat larger animals. The work put into this creation is beautiful and amazingly detailed, and the other creations on the website are equally worth checking out.
“Solarpunks cherish nature, progress and science; the individual and the community.
They believe in a world that is green, colourful, and bright. It can be described as a literary genre, an aesthetic, or a movement. The key points are:
An emphasis on renewable energy, especially solar power.
A demand for technology and society to re-centre around sustainability, longevity, and balance.
A focus on decentralisation, community activism, social justice and civic empowerment.
A recognition that economic, social, and ecological injustices are all deeply inter-connected.”
- Sunbeam City
“Solarpunk is a literary movement, a hashtag, a flag, and a statement of intent about the future we hope to create” - Ben Valentine
Solarpunk as a concept emerged from the imagination of authors and creators in the early 2000′s, and was shared freely throughout the internet. It originated as a genre of creative writing and artwork, but it quickly began to be implemented into decentralised left-wing spaces. Nowadays, solarpunk embodies a whole range of politics, activism, design and art; but at its heart it encompasses positive, grassroots community action and innovation as a way to prevent ecological crises.
This is where I need your help - I would love to collate a list of Solarpunk-themed tumblr blogs. If you post about Solarpunk and would like to be included in this list, please comment or message me with your blog URL. Thank you!

Visit from William Rothberg, commissioner of the tomb expedition in Cairo, 1922.
The site of the tomb is extraordinary and unlike anything we have seen before. Preparations are being made to explore the only known entrance.
The bottom entrance of the tomb is a sight to behold. We think that it may date around 2688-2180 BC. Although, we cannot say for sure at the moment.
The faces of each statue have been destroyed. A curious sight, though not uncommon. This was usually done to the tombs of Pharaohs with bad reputations. To remove the face is to remove their memory and place in the afterlife.
A tight squeeze through one of the chambers. I managed to make it out just fine.
The chambers are massive and surprisingly well preserved. We have yet to find the Pharaoh’s chamber, but we are hopeful in finding it soon.
It was common for Pharaohs to be mummified alongside their cats. But this tomb is filled with chambers of mummified cats. Hundreds of them.
That’s not the strangest part, though. The mummified cats keep getting bigger the further into the chambers we go.
Surely, there cannot actually be cats in these large sarcophagi… But I wonder.
We will be taking some of them back for study.
Most unusual.
It would appear that the large sarcophagi held the mummified remains of large felines, but… with heads more closely resembling that of humans.
We checked to make sure if there were any seams to show that they had been sewn together or fabricated.
But there are none.
My comrades and I are absolutely baffled.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
