So, Backrooms would have been better if they had answered less questions about how they work. I don’t want to know. Just give me creepy.

I was so happy to see this beautiful bird in the park today. This is a yellow-crowned night heron. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

Got some cowboy boots a few months ago. Used ones, but they hadn’t been used much. Breaking em in takes how long, because my feet might break before the boots.

Concerning Mann’s The Last of the Mohicans. First off, thank you historians for writing this. Second, this is the reason they don’t want you to be educated with this history.

I’m sure I didn’t agree with every view Terry Pratchett had, but in this he and I were perfectly aligned. The world is beautiful and amazing. Our existence is astonishing. Never, ever, let that slip out of sight. Always fight for it 🩶

I have not read all the books on my bookshelves. I would say forty percent of them. I am constantly adding new gems.

Man, that Anthony Bourdain biopic makes me want to scratch my eyes out.

Nathan Ballingrud wins the Stoker Award for Long Fiction for CATHEDRAL OF THE DROWNED in a tie with @acwise.bsky.social for WOLF MOON, ANTLER MOON!

It was a banger. If you haven’t read it, you should.

So, these Backrooms teens are channeling Ligotti. That’s cool.

Man, Michael Mann's Last of the Mohicans is--so depressing to watch. I'm so glad Wes Studi lives in a time where he can inhabit Native American characters written by Native Americans.

Need to know where to get my book, Punk is Dead? It’s Indigenous queer punk horror made by humans for humans.

So, had breakfast with my Auntie and learned that if i go far enough back there’s Hungarian/Russian roots. Never knew that tidbit.

Artist! Quote with your fanart!

So, the local graffiti goes hard y’all.

We live in a world where colonial whale fishing endangered whales, yet people get angry at a sustainable traditional Indigenous whale fishery on Canadas West Coast. That’s a strange thought for me.

You know what? People who don’t like kissing don’t have to watch romances. Sober realists aren’t forced to sit through SFF. Grouches can eschew comedy and squeamish people are welcome not to watch horror films. Just let things exist for their target audience.

Horror people turn up for unfamiliar movies with unproven directors and no-name actors. Horror people are the ones who don't use "low-budget" as a pejorative. Horror people will watch horror from 100 years ago. It's not weird that horror people are like this, it's weird that other genre fans aren't.

Been studying The Last of the Mohicans. Got me thinking about The New Ultimates boo and how they creat a Native American Hawkeye—a name shared with Last of the Mohicans protagonist. And, when i think about that name on a Native American superhero, it feels wholly insensitive.

Honestly, these people are making billions off of middle class suffering--while using media to blame the lower class/marginalized peoples of their problems.

Welp, another TV father figure is dead.

Reading about reconstruction and Andrew Jackson--and whoo boy--no wonder they assassinated Lincoln.

I saw this yesterday. The kids are all right. Gen X, on the other hand, feel compelled to murder the Earth.

Well, I watched The Birth of a Nation for a course yesterday--and that explains a lot about America. Also, very difficult to watch--and I watch horror all the time.

All caught up with From. The new season is fun.

The residential school legacy continues under a different name.

Are we in another Industrial era where green energy is the thing that will make countries superpowers? I think we are, and I think it will. Which means N. America is going to be left behind. That's where they're going to get Nuclear.

What a time to decide to be a writer.

RIP, Ms. Satrapi’s “Persepolis,” along with being educational and important, is also just really goddamn good.

Wouldn't it be nice if you had someone who read your shit whose opinion you admire. That's what writers do. They read each others shit and give feedback. These are known as the 'real ones' and they fucking let you know whats up. They aren't some AI garbage thats just making shit it up.

So, I watched Euphoria S1 and 2 and I feel like 3 is 'life is shit and then you die' plus 'titties,' and I'm not that interested. And I love bleak shit. And I love titties. I don't know, you do you, but not for me.

Authors, ruin these fucks.

oh no, how awful

They invented hustle culture to convince you that you needed to work more in order to succeed. We need community and time with it in order to be whole.

Buddy's in Bad Times in Toronto. Circa 2002. A friend of mine told me it was mixed crowd, and I lived a block away. I dropped some ecstasy and got a lot of attention. Ended up outside, smoking, talking about Miyazaki films. Overall, a fun night.

Seeing Backrooms tonight--probably. Because why not just add to indy horror and 20 year old directors getting theirs.

Oh, hey, guess what... I interviewed the vampires. Here's my extensive look behind the scenes of The Vampire Lestat (including last night's NYC event) with Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, and showrunner Rolin Jones, for @indiewire.com: www.indiewire.com/features/int...

Steampunk-adjacent detective noir with a sapphic love story and an entire pantheon of gods invented for this world. @haileypiperfights.bsky.social brings the heat in NO GODS FOR DROWNING, which we were thrilled to launch in a new edition this year. www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

First time I've heard talk of the 'postliteracy' of students and the usage of film in academia. That's an interesting though.

What is your favourite film about American history?

Altman talking about metered AI. If I get charged a penny by anyone for AI I am going to lose my fucking mind. ps. I don't use it.

Oops, this shit will break Albertans--sorry, I guess we're not doing it. -UCP genius'

We've got the marvel of AI, but I still can't set an alarm more than a day ahead on my Iphone. We've got the marvel of AI, but the Microsoft Word's reading option still sounds like voice recognition in 1996.

Scott Pelley is leaving, but not before he drops a big stack of receipts on what happened at 60 minutes. It's worse than you could have imagined, and bless this man for fighting as hard as he could and then tearing down the blackout curtains so we could see what's happening inside.

for those trying to find more paperback copies, looks like @wordhorde-emporium.bsky.social has SCANLINES, LOST CONTACT, & LOST SIGNALS in stock www.weirdandfantastic.com/product/keis... www.weirdandfantastic.com/product/boot... www.weirdandfantastic.com/product/boot...

Um, this is just hanging out on Youtube waiting for you to watch.

What Sean said!

You know, I love watching gamers cry when they gender swap characters. ie The new Witcher and the new God of War. Its delicious to revel in the tears of the patriarchy.
