Fuck everybody. This year I’m doing anything I want. I’m getting into the pool IMMEDIATELY after I eat and going to bed even if my hair’s wet

Started reading Blood Meridian and I just finished the first chapter and I can already tell this judge fella is gunna turn out to be a loving father figure to the kid ☺️

“I should buy a ping pong table.” Me after watching Marty Supreme.

You want Black and Brown immigrants to go back to where they come and then you want to bomb them once they do. You know what that's called? Genocide.

Yo it’s so stupid that the US can just do that

My Letterboxd Year In Review finally came in and my Most Watched Actor and Director is fire ngl

I always tell people that my parents named me after Professor Charles Xavier, founder and leader of the X-Men. But that’s a lie. My parents actually named me after Saint Francis Xavier, founder and leader of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

So many subway ads for a new spaghetti sauce with maple syrup in it. And like, guys, I get it. I’m Canadian. I down that shit too. But we gotta draw a line. Like as a nation. I fear this spaghetti sauce business strays us too far from god’s light.

January 1st and I'm already writing. So sorry to any ops, but I'm afraid I'm so back.

New Year, New Me. And by this I mean that I'm growing a homunculus in my bathtub that has 10x the mac n cheese eating capacity as I do so that I can move my consciousness into its superior body.

I think I rate movies too high on Letterboxd. But I don’t know man I just love movies. Even when it’s shit, most times I find something to enjoy

I’m going to write John Carpenter fan fiction and call it Escape from Toronto where I’m Snake Plissken sent in to save Doug Ford but instead I just eat a fuck ton of shawarma on Queen Street West with my prison homies

Finished Grant Morrison’s X-Men run. It’s wild. After Morrison’s Batman run, every Batman writer since has been fully chasing their high. I can’t believe the same is also true of X-Men. Truly, one of the greatest writers of all time. Also Cyclops and Emma are it. Don’t at me.

The leftover turkey finally ran out last night and I’m left in a deep state of rage. Them mean ass geese outside my bulding better watch out cuz they starting to look like turkeys to me

It's my birthday today. I've reacted an age that a much younger Karlo could not have conceived of being, and yet here we all are If you want to celebrate, don't worry if you've not brought a gift - just do me a favor and: 1) read something new 2) let the author know how much you liked reading it

Just finished watching An Almost Christmas Story. Highly recommend. It’s this little Christmas short produced by Alfonso Cuarón and directed by David Lowery. Feels like a modern day Rankin & Bass short. So much heart. Cried like 3x.

It’s Christmas Eve everybody! So please remember, werewolves fucking love Christmas Eve. Stay safe everyone!

Yoooooo I just finished reading this and I’m shook! @kjy1066.bsky.social manages to pack so much here. This story is so rich in nostalgia and pain and Latin American folklore and culture and history and even more pain. Fuck. Read this, man!

Just finished Welcome to Derry. I mostly dug it. Skarsgard is obvi dope. I just don’t know if Pennywise needed all those extra ingredients

French toast > pancakes. French fries > baked potatoes. French horn > the false brass, the pretender tuba. I realized this awful truth and now I must move to Quebec. Goodbye Toronto. I’m French now.

Yesterday I went to this Italian joint where their entire menu was in Italian and I confidently ordered this mushroom pasta cuz I was feeling legit and when it came out it turned out to be a mushroom salad instead and I was so mad my face could explode

Happy birthday to Anthony! May I recommend Lumberjack? It's short, and a perfect title for Weird Little Guys™️ enjoyers. store.tenebrouspress.com/products/lum...

Christmas Carol but instead of three ghosts visiting me it’s three Uber Eats drivers at my door in a single day because I can’t be bothered to cook today and I go boy what day is it and he goes doggy this can’t be healthy

Thesis: Cronenberg is to omegaverse as Romero is to The Walking Dead

I should be allowed to take any dog I want from the dog park

French fries are potatoes and therefore vegetables and vegetables make up a salad and if you put ketchup on a salad it becomes salad dressing so therefore I’m not lying if I say I’m having salad with salad dressing for breakfast.

Watched the “Finding Frances” episode of Nathan for You. And I’m shook. One of the best things I’ve ever seen. Episodes like this elevate the show into something so special. Cringe comedy but also so fucking poignant

Went to this Mexican joint in El Salvador and they were serving birria pupusas. It was the most outrageous shit I’ve had in my entire life. I love you Mexicans but you be putting that caldo on anything huh? I also don’t blame ya cuz joints was fiiiiiire

WTF! I was away from Toronto for 2 weeks and now Dundas station is called TMU!? Ugh this is why I never leave the city. It falls apart with me

Hostel remake but when we cut to the murder warehouse and the Slovakians unveil who they kidnapped, who should it be but acclaimed martial artist Jackie Chan!!!! And Jackie goes around whooping everyone and doing backflips off guillotines and iron maidens and shit

Resharing this uplifting review for the evening people! DO's a tiny press and the lion's share of promotional work falls on me to do, so every ounce of good feedback and help in getting the book out there means so damn much

Lovely surprise to have some poems in @bruisermag.com today!

Reading Dracula for the first time and I didn’t necessary expect Van Helsing to be like Hugh Jackman with a mechanical crossbow, but I also didn’t expect him to be a massive nerd. I hope Dracula gives him a wedgie

Wedding’s done and just got back from my honeymoon! Been one helluva year. But now I finally have time to write again and the energy to do it! Which means ya boy is about to go Super Saiyan 2 on some teen Gohan shit! I’m ending the year with a burning pen doggyyy

It’s fitting that tonight a snowstorm hits Toronto since it seems to herald my coming. For tomorrow I leave El Salvador and return to my seat of power

Our BodyPunk brother has slain the priest and married his Princess. Congratulations again, bud.

Ya boy got married! The priest challenged me to single combat to prove I was ready. His mistake was letting me use a halberd cuz I don’t know if any sword can take me that way. Anyway. New priest needed. But me? I married my girl, doggyyyyyyyyyyy

I just found out that jaguars have been extinct in El Salvador for years. I’m so sad, man. Cant we just reintroduce a fuck ton of them back into the jungle? I’m willing to take the loss of a few hikers

Another for the collection has arrived. @filthyloot.bsky.social is putting out great little books! I'll need a shelf just for @horrorsong.blog stories at this point.

You ever be reading a short story collection and a writer you never heard of blows your socks off so you go to look them up but it’s like they don’t exist. Yo I hate that. It feels exactly like that “xx has been dead for ten years” episode of Freaky Stories
