13oct - ‘the curious and quite dreadful sensation of being forgotten’

omg if you live next to a field of horses they're literally neighbours

math textbook covers for some reason:

How I look in the middle of the night when no one sees me vs the daytime when I look like a gremlin

Sorry I didn’t post like at all yesterday. Post-con fatigue hit me like a truck 😅

If you're slandering poetry as a format I have REALLY bad news about rap and hip hop.

Yor

Gonna be posting the cosplays I got pictures of at Stellar Con in a thread since you can only post 4 photos at a time here 😂 (thread)

Stellar Con today. Couldn’t get a picture of the table because the wave of people came in so fast, and we’re right by the entrance! 😂

Blue lemons. My print shop is now open for the next 72 hours with 3 limited edition prints. I only open my print shop once a year. #oilpainting #art

dude i love cats. look at this

Nah, I won't be playing it cool. I'm dropping the "non" from the chalant. Expressing joy or thoughts and being super annoying about it. Excitedly presenting those things from my balcony of many things and recent obsessions. Killing the part of me that hesitates and thinks "is this cringe and dumb?"

Why authors lead a lonely life. #bluesky #writersky #writerhumor

Can confirm.

Did you know…? Over 50% of autistic adults are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in their lifetime Causes of anxiety for autistic people include: - sensory issues - feeling misunderstood - having to mask - social challenges - information overwhelm - managing emotions - unexpected changes

Forcing you to stay awake to argue because “don’t go to bed angry” til you’re so tired that you give in to their demands is abusive. Guilting/coercing your partner into having sex when they don’t want to is abusive. Violent displays of anger (punching/throwing things, driving dangerously) is abusive

Pray for Venezuela.

me, every damn day for near enough the last two weeks:

QP your art with a sunset! 🌅 #paleoart #dinosaurs

Lies, lies, and more lies.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

This coord is god-tier 😍

This usually happens to me when I can’t write the idea down, like in the shower or driving.

I keep saying that modern rich people don’t know how to be rich

i hear a lot of news outlets saying the Steam Gamecube is gonna be a new pillar of console, and i guess you could say that?? its not really a Console, to me it’s more of a Starter PC. its for someone who wants to ditch their Console for all the positives of PC gaming but the interface of a console

That new Ditto game is just Animal Crossing NH but with Pokemon, huh? 🤔

A mysterious visitor on the roof

This Grackle had a lot to say when I got out of the car #grackle #bird #birdsky #feather #vogel #photography #photographersofBlueSky #nature

Me trying to meditate

I can’t even enjoy a nice meal I made myself without my body torturing me 😭

Spooky Soup and Texas Toast for dinner tonight. I may have gone a little overboard on the noodles, but like… they’re Halloween noodles, so why not? 😂

#HorrorWritersChat Q4 Junji Ito, the drawings I drew for the interior of my book are inspired by his horror mangas. Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi for making me who I am via Evil Dead/Army of Darkness Harry Adam Knight and Paul Zindel for their Dinosaur Horror books to inspire mine.

Shouting out @nocturnalxlight.bsky.social and @chaoticauthor.online both for bringing more visibility to the asexual community with your writings. It’s funny because one is aroace, one is demi, and I fall right in the middle 😂 Both have been a huge inspiration to me. Thank you 💖 #HorrorWritersChat

I love this.

Eyeball gummies. Anatomical heart shaped chocolates. Gingerbread men with frosted stitches. Popping candy that shocks. Human organ container. It would be cool to make drinks look black & white somehow, w/ a streak of green (homage to 1935 Bride of Frankenstein but also aro flag). #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Well, pizza would obviously be a reference to Pizza Pete. A second reference to him would be nachos. Other foods I would include are sour candy to show good and bad moments. Lastly, caffeine drinks to show when someone is on the verge of panic.

The perfect question for my cosmic horror cooking competition book! Tonight we're serving coffee rubbed roast (pork???) sandwiches with spicy pickled apples, truffle gruyere and apple cider mustard, accompanied by a cranberry spritz made with a mystery spice rich simple syrup #HorrorWritersChat

A folk horror needs cider, & The Five Turns of the Wheel has a pub based on my childhood home, The Cider House. I'd dish up a 'steakwich' alongside this. This was popular amongst the farmers we used to serve and I liked it too! #HorrorWritersChat

MAGNETO WAS RIGHT 😃

#HorrorWritersChat Oh God. So, the menu will include... Epidermal flan from Wilthaven A keg of Blackwater Stout from Welcome to Ferrendale Bacon from Deep Down There A Bad Sandwich from Bad Sandwich And lashings of booze.

#HorrorWritersChat Oh that would be Fried Ocelot Spleen, sprinkled with the beak of a really pissed off Eagle, served with several middle fingers from rebellious gibbons and a nice refreshing cold pint of badgers piss 🤔 Hmm, personally I'd just sneak a Twix in or something

Due to my characters’ penchant for rather unhealthy diets, refreshments will come in the shape of spiked coffee and clove cigarettes. Free refills throughout the feature! #HorrorWritersChat

What a fun question! Sun-brewed black tea for my WIP called Noon because it’s a midday horror. Some kind of tough roasted meat like deer for Basement Floor 2 since the creature in that is wolf-like. And finally, cotton candy for my other WIP themed around a children’s show. #HorrorWritersChat

people love to tell ADHD people "get a visual timer" and it's like oh if you think i won't set that timer for 30 min for one task, then immediately forget it's there + start working intensely on some other thing entirely, only for the timer to go off and be like "ohh" ur mistaken

I am currently a blanket burrito watching a two hours long YouTube video about terrible spelunking incidents that is making me so thankful I don't share their yearning for a cave. I wish to stay a surface boy. Keep me away from the Below People.

"The Dedication of the High Priestess," which is like Black Swan and Hereditary had a cosmic horror baby together. As for actors, I don't know who would play MC Annie Hummel, but I'd love John Stamos as Mark Dragin, Tyra Banks as Monica Clinkscale, and Stana Katic as Mrs. Hummel. #HorrorWritersChat

I'd definitely love for Little White Flowers to get a film adaptation. I don't have specific actors in mind for who I'd like to play the leads, but I would like to see neurodivergent actors at the helm since my main character Alice is autistic and her brother Andy is an ADHDer. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat OHOHO. My delusional pipe dream is Sam Raimi adapting The Worst Summer of My Life. Mary Elizabeth Winstead for Kasey Bill Skarsgard for Kyle And a gaggle of new, actually teenagers actors for the kids.
