Watched the first three episodes of #WidowsBay, and I'm really digging this horror comedy. Nothing is funnier than watching someone melt down because GHOSTS! DON'T! EXIST! I feel like this has "Made especially for Harmonyfb" somewhere in the small print. #SpookyTV

I worked six days this week. I'm going to work six days next week. I'm pretty sure I'm working six days the week after. For the love of all that is holy, please god, somebody apply for our open Librarian position. #LibraryLife

It is time for....THEM! (Once again, James Arness stars in a really terrible '50s horror movie.) #HorrorWatch

One hour until THEY arrive. You know, THEM. #HorrorWatch www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4UR...

Bright Blessings on Beltane! May your fields, your flocks, and your fertility (physical or creative, as you desire) increase, this and every year!

Re: Lipstick Posts I did find some interesting lipstick colors at Unearthly Cosmetics; I got two frosted ones called "Fury" & "Ancient" (kind of a bronze?), and one pumpkin orange liquid lipstick. Really high-quality, heavy packaging & magnetic caps. www.unearthlycosmetics.com/collections/...

Watched the first episode of "Widow's Bay" tonight; it seems like a slow-burn light folk horror with a lot of humor. Hoping that the tone runs a bit darker as the show goes on.

Our Youth Librarian quit & we’re eager to hire quickly (summer reading ahoy)- any of my librarian-type friends who are interested, give me a shout & I’ll pass on the info. Small town public library, national award-winning, LGBTQ special collection, within sight of the beach. #LibraryLife

I may have gone a little hog-wild & pig-crazy at Independent Bookstore Day. #Books

Half an hour 'til the doors of the club open for "Rockula!" Join #HorrorWatch for the most ridiculous horror-adjacent comedy you've ever seen - starring Dean Cameron, Toni Basil, and Thomas Dolby. Be there or be square!

The best thing about the internet is finding bands from your salad days that you've never even HEARD of. New 1980's music? Why yes, I WILL partake, tyvm. #Bandcamp #PostPunk theskarlets.bandcamp.com/album/1980-s...

May I offer a small rebuttal? :gestures in old punk lady:

Yes, I'm still on about the lipstick thing. What the hell kind of timeline are we in where Urban Decay now only carries the six same lame-ass color lipsticks as every other mainstream cosmetic company in the universe? Where are the super-cool colors? WHERE?

Guess what upcoming book I just got an ARC for??? “A Trade of Blood”, the new @robertjbennett.bsky.social novel! :squeeeeeeeee: Augh! Why do I have to *work* instead of just spending the afternoon reading???

Got up from an office chair "wrong" yesterday; twisted my ankle* & spent the rest of my shift limping. W. T. F. *I did not actually twist it - it just decided to be dramatic because I briefly twanged it. God forbid I stand up slightly different than usual. :glares at old-lady body:

Our Musical Horror month proceeds apace! Choose the horrors that will confront us! (Rockula. Choose Rockula!)

That makeup historian I see on the youtubes tried on a discontinued lipstick color that I am desperately coveting, and effing NOBODY has one close to it. I am certain this color lipstick would heal my soul, but it cannot be had. Woe.

"Why are my genetics such a bitch?" Oh, honey, I would also like to know this. #Horrorwatch

Mere minutes until we draw the curtain on "Repo: The Genetic Opera". Join us! #Horrorwatch

A really shitty day, but I have new music, so the panic is receding a bit. #Listening to The Mouth Ulcers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1ai...

So you know that librarian that got fired in Tennessee for refusing to remove books? That's my hometown (still embarrassing me 40+ yrs after I left). My director suggested I apply for the job so I can tell them all the things that they should have to hear. So tempting. Sooooo tempting. #Librarylife

Spent today putting up shoes on Poshmark (ones I've been pretending my feet will fit in again (they won't. I'm wide-foot now.) I don't know if I can let go of the Hot Chocolate shoes yet. Sure, they're bad for my back & they're mostly a liiiiittle too narrow, but they're SO dang cute. SIGH

Choose the form of the destructor for the next #HorrorWatch! What terrifying descent into musical theatre shall we embark upon?

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

Just over an hour until we slither into The Forbidden Zone (1980). Join us for a brilliant WTF of a movie, starring Herve Villechaize (Fantasy Island), Danny Elfman, & Susan Tyrrell (Cry-Baby). Directed by Richard Elfman (Danny's bro). Not really a horror movie, but a AAA-Weirdo flick! #Horrorwatch

Guess who just bought tickets to see #PublicImageLtd next year??? AAAAAAAAAAAAAA (Yes, a full year in advance. No, it's not an April Fool's prank; it was announced weeks ago.)

Why yes, I AM a cauldron of rage in a skin suit, thanks for noticing.

Surfing through #Farscape gifs made me once again long for a series that is nothing but @theclaudiablack.bsky.social and Ben Browder just snarking at one another for hours. :sigh: From my lips to the entertainment gods' ears, y'all.

I had to #SaturdayLibrarian, so I couldn't go to the protest (AGAIN, WTH, why is my schedule like this?), but I did wear my "No Kings, No Tyrants" shirt from @cellsdividing.bsky.social and everyone who came to the desk asked for directions to the local protest.

I am finding it really, really, really hard to not respond with blistering sarcasm to, well, everyone. I think I need a timeline reset and maybe another cup of coffee. And a donut. My apologies if you get caught in the bitchy splash zone.

Need some soothing today, so I'm re-reading all the Murderbot books & maybe watching a spooky movie while I fold clothes, and not leaving my house for any reason whatsoever.

All the fun movies on Tubi that would be awesome to watch for #HorrorWatch; an essay in hope. "Demon" (2019) "The Changeling" (1980) "The Hunger" (1982) "Gothic" (1987) "The Howling" (1981) "An American Werewolf in London" (1981) "House" (1985) "Suspiria" (1977) "Van Helsing" (2004) "Mirrors" (2008)

Hear the squeaking at your window? It is only THE BAT trying to get in to bring you #HorrorWatch. Thirty minutes til you must join us or mute that hashtag like the terrified villager you are! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgZC...

I finally cracked & ordered a work outfit from Snag Tights (their tights are perfect). But they came out w/a wrap top in an octopus print, and it *called* to me. Holy cow, they are NICE fabrics, perfect fit, so beautiful. LOOK AT IT. snagtights.us/products/wra...

For those who were curious: My second-hand red sparkly Docs were, in fact, grown-up sized. Unfortunately, they didn't fit (too narrow), & because they're synthetic, there's no stretch. They're being turned over to my youngest to see if they'll fit her. At least they weren't toddler shoes?

Think I accidentally bought a pair of kid-size boots off a resale site, instead of the adult size they were listed as. Cause they were an excellent price, looked good, and I thought "Man, I didn't know DM made a pair of candy-apple-sparkle boots for adults!" :BUY: Fifteen minutes later: "Heyyyy..."

Houseguests tonight means no #Horrorwatch for me this week. Have fun, y'all!

Spent today reorganizing our hall bathroom - pulled down my box of older eyeshadow palettes (incl a discontinued Lime Crime one that was a particular favorite), & discovered that they were all COVERED in mold. :cries: They all had to be dumped right in the garbage. 😭

Footsteps are approaching from the darkness? Can you hear the dread approach of #HorrorWatch? One hour until we camp out in "The Boneyard" (1991, free to watch on the Youtubes). Stars Phyllis Diller as "Miss Poopinplatz", so you know exactly what kind of film you're going to get.

This week, I've read "A Box Full of Darkness" by @simonestjames.bsky.social (spooky childhood trauma), "Leech" by @hironennes.bsky.social (late to the party but loved it!), and "Iron Garden Sutra" by A. D. Sui (meditation on death, purpose, change, human nature, unintended consequences.) #Books

Yesterday one of my employees casually mentioned that *her mother* was born in 1977. I was in high school in 77-78. I am old enough to be this adult woman’s GRANDMOTHER. I may have had an attack of The Vapors, because what the actual fuck.

To the person who recommended I play “ Blue Prince”: I don’t know whether to thank you or push you in the mud. This is simultaneously the most addicting and most frustrating game I’ve ever played.

I really want to have a third beer, but I have to drive home - an ordinary tragedy. #Beer

Day-drinking, for a multitude of reasons. #BeerOClock

Ten minutes until the soothing song of #HorrorWatch overrides the troubles of this world. Join us for a '70's Made-for-TV anthology called "Trilogy of Terror" and collect a '70's KinderTrauma of your very own! (Or mute that hashtag; we won't judge. Much.)

My beloved cat just leaned over like she was going to give me a gentle head bump, and then sneezed directly into my eyeball. She was not sorry. #Cats #SoElegant

Me: Do you have all your Passport documents ready? Patron: Absolutely! Also Patron: Forgot birth certificate, left photo in the car, wrote Social Security number incorrectly on form, misspelled own parent’s name Me: SIGH #LibraryLife

Five women authors I’ve read five books by? This century, last century, pre-20th century? Define “books” - novel-length, novella, novelette, epic? Do epic-length novels count as multiples? …this is what it’s like inside my brain, folks. Aren’t you glad you don’t live in here? 😆

Some good news: "Deadloch", season two drops next month! :makes grabby hands, mouths give-it-to-me-NOW: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEu3...
