Sunstroke Volume 7: Glory and Gore
“For Sunstroke’s first-ever October release, we’re looking to visualize and discuss all things horror storytelling and its evolution, as seen in the past, present and future of film, television and literature.
What tropes have lived and died and what purpose did they serve, if any? What sets apart the horror genre from others? What role does horror play in sexuality, feminism and identity? Where do SFX and CGI gore fall in the world of art? How has the horror genre been upcycled and reimagined? Where has that fallen short? How is horror used as a cultural mirror in our society at that moment? 🔪”

Music Fans on Concert Inaccessibility and Abelism
“For music lovers, music is a cathartic art form. Whether it’s putting on your go-to comfort album at the end of the day, or dressing up to go out and see your favorite artist, music is a form of self-care that should be enjoyed by everyone. Unfortunately, this isn’t always possible.
Due to a variety of reasons, ranging from outrageous ticket prices to venues not being wheelchair accessible, concerts are inaccessible for many lovers of music. The only reason ableist practices and features are still present is that individuals higher up in the industry aren’t doing what is necessary to make a change.”
