I'm over the (Full) Moon thrilled that @randomhorror9.bsky.social will be covering Puppet Master 3 next week. As a scholar of the series, its engagement with fucking N*zis, and justifying the series' wild inconsistencies, I'll be taking notes through the entire episode. 🔪

Without downloading new pics, what’s it like dating you?

Several-- that's how he stayed alive.

🎶 Must be the season of the witch 🎶 The next 3 books in my queue, after @shewolfmanc.bsky.social's Unburied, are How to Kill a Witch, That Very Witch, and The Conjuring of America. The fall of patriarchy is my favorite time of year.

What are the odds that someone will tell me that I look tired today? I am, I do, but no one needs to tell me that. Comment on my cool dress instead.

This is a thing I'll be doing next weekend. You could come if you're interested.

Our first panel at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social 2025 is the premiere of #TractionParkMassacre. 🎢🎡🔪 #GetYourGeekOn

@bsfwriters.bsky.social hosts its final WDS of the series: DEATH REIMAGINED w/ @plaguedr-richards.bsky.social @smartinez-conde.bsky.social @csecooney.bsky.social @micaiahjohnson.bsky.social and @csecooney.bsky.social www.eventbrite.com/e/1712374200... #Halloween #stories #brooklyn

The pun is irresistible, so possible #Peacemaker spoiler. I did nazi that twist coming.

I wish I could see this. While it's possible that I'll be in Aberystwyth and maybe London this fall, the dates don't line up. Sigh.

Save the date! @csecooney.bsky.social @micaiahjohnson.bsky.social @smartinez-conde.bsky.social @plaguedr-richards.bsky.social www.eventbrite.com/e/we-demand-...

At Brooklyn Paramount seeing Wet Leg to kick off a week of anniversary-ing. (21 years, thank you for asking, and no, reader, I never married him.)

Yesterday was Trey's birthday (observed). Everyone with fur got small pieces of poached, shredded chicken. Look how handsome the shyest and most three-legged of my children is!

I think my goal for this AY is to have a meeting that can only be described like this.

I learned, seeing this play, that "Bella Ciao" can make me cry. Read our review, and see if you can tell where John acknowledged the scene but protected my reputation as a steely bitch through skillful use of language.

Just as television in the 70s led me to believe that I should be worried about quicksand on the regular, the Final Destination films--which we're marathoning--have me wondering how I haven't died every time I spill water, given the apparent normalcy of worn cords and faulty sockets.

I'm like Snow White of the urban landscape or something. Seagulls, rats, pigeons, squirrels, and the occasional raccoon or possum flock to me. I love them too, and we often chat. This guy hung out with me for a while today. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't show how beautifully iridescent he is.

While in the grand scheme of the ongoing fascist takeover, the status of a crosswalk is insignificant, I'm glad that folks keep chalking bc it makes space for meltdowns over "forcing us to accept your rainbow of chalk," that notoriously permanent medium that spreads the gay to all who see it.

I'm thisclose to giving up on the only job that I ever wanted. This addresses why. www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

Learned today via a billboard in Cheyenne, WY, that this exists, but I'm delighted to learn that it's failing pretty spectacularly.

Movie pitch: all the Brontes are emperor penguins, except Branwell is played by a Muppet.

Thanks to the Journal of Supernatural Studies for including my review here. If you’re interested in horror films or Marxism you should check this book! www.supernaturalstudies.com/reviews/book...

Don't you just love a day wherein you learn something new about your ice cube tray? 🧊🧊

"I had not touched a cat in 15 yrs when an orange kitten wandered over to sit w/me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

Everyone should have a song that makes them happy under any circumstances. I have two: "Mr Blue Sky" by ELO and this one, a jaunty, profane lil banger. youtu.be/th4Czv1j3F8?...

I'm in a train station pub and they're playing Old Crow Medicine Show's version of "Wagon Wheel" instead of the lesser Darius Rucker version, and I'm very happy, considering I'm in a train station pub.

A trans woman wrote to Wetherspoons to ask which toilets they're meant to use. Wetherspoons replied acknowledging the Supreme Court's verdict...and that trans customers can use whichever loos they want to but to please lock the cubicle door. Labour now being outflanked on the left by Wetherspoons.

The news today is just one what-the-actual-fuck after another.

Please support the great & crucial @booksinc.bsky.social for #IndependentBookstoreDay tomorrow & buy my San Francisco #TrueCrime history, THE MURDERS THAT MADE US, from one of their Bay Area locations (even SFO!) or order it from them online.

Congratulations to @socialistdogmom.bsky.social and Weird Little Guys, the best and most bravely researched pod out there.

i hope this conclave is like the one in the movie conclave

Andrew Tate is so fucking disgusting. Check out this ep, its Thursday Part 2, and their 4-part earlier series (re-aired last week), and join me in active revulsion. 🤢🤮

I know I say this all the fucking time, but the idea that toilets and changing rooms are some kind of legally restricted space is a complete fabrication. Anyone can use any facility they like. It's a sign on a door, not a forcefield.

I ended my Easter Sunday by watching Conclave on my flight home. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

At the Folk Festival of the North for some Scandi metal. 🤘 More 🦩flamingos🦩 than you might expect.

I'm so grateful that @miskatonicihs.bsky.social lets subscribers access a video after the lectures. Being back at work, i.e., so many fucking meetings, those Tuesday afternoon talks become less possible to attend.

First of 3 Call for Proposals for an in-person session at MLA 2026 in Toronto. This is a Gothic Studies forum session, although not our guaranteed session, and participants need to be MLA members by April. Minority-Language Sustainability and the Folk Gothic mla.confex.com/mla/2026/web...

I'm behind on listening to new eps of Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff because last week's eps are @margaret.bsky.social talking about the AIDS crisis and some cool lesbians (and nuns) supporting the sick and dying, and I have to keep taking crying breaks. #mutualaid is #superfuckingcool

I saw a live theater show at a community center. Afterward, the director explained how federal budget cuts to the NEA are hurting theaters citywide. Still, they refuse to censor or change their programs. I admired their commitment to their values—and felt ashamed that higher ed gives in so easily.

A young adult violinist is playing the most melancholy, but lovely, cover of "Don't Stop Believin'" at Grand Central, and I can't be cynical right now.

Sharing again-please share with interested parties. We'd love to see: * Native American/ First Nations or other indigenous language narratives * Also interested in Celtic languages, Basque, & similar * film, television, (video) games, graphic novels, and written (and more) Happy to answer any Qs!

After a year + of no hair color except color-depositing conditioners, I'm thrilled to be at 1-900-BLEACHME in the handed of the best colorist in the city!

New York City voters: we are four months from a ranked choice mayoral primary! That means you get to list candidates you like for mayor in the order in which you like them. Crucially, if you don’t want someone to become mayor, you *shouldn’t rank them at all* A rank is effectively a vote for them

I can't give this workshop on supporting undocumented students my full attention because I have to keep checking to see what new fuckery has unfolded.
