having OCD is so stupid. what do you mean my mental health and emotional wellbeing depends on me scrubbing obscure items in my house

Force feeding myself oatmeal at 5:30 in the morning to keep my ancient (32 year old) body from careening off schedule

Sometimes I feel like a big dummy for trying to write about culture, and then the Atlantic publishes a brain dead take that gives me the confidence boost I need to continue blogging

@sgj.bsky.social Stephen Graham Jones will be like let me write a story about a man in a situation after he kills an animal he knows he shouldn’t and I eat it up every single time

A very happy 30th birthday to bisexuality, born this day in 1995 🎂

Had a really wonderful conversation with one of my favorite authors, David Sodergren (@paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social) about the incredible freedom of self publishing, Scotland as an underused horror setting, and a lifetime of loving the genre: scare-me.beehiiv.com/p/david-sode...

Tomorrow! I interviewed Matt Kirkland, the creative mind behind @draculadaily.bsky.social 🦇 💌 Subscribe to read it first thing tomorrow: scare-me.beehiiv.com/subscribe

Humbly requesting a setting for social media apps that plays all inspirational weight loss content backwards. I am proud of all of you but my ED rat brain cannot be trusted

so encouraged by Mamdani’s victory in New York and also appalled that autocorrect and closed captioning cannot seem to spell his name right

my computer is always muted so WHY did it start playing Tron Cat at top volume while Jack is on a work call ☠️

Jack and I are both so dumb it’s incredible we function in society. We’ve been trying to hang curtains for like 3 hours

It's Juneteenth, so an evergreen reminder that HORROR NOIRE is mandatory horror film history. xoxo @fangoria.bsky.social www.fangoria.com/review-horro...

One of the funniest, weirdest, most meta books I’ve read in ages. And a beautiful cover design! What more could you ask for!

I can barely express how gutwrenching it is to steal health care away from trans kids and essentially force them into conversion therapy defector.com/on-bridges?g...

IT CAME FROM THE CLOSET 🪦🌈 I love this beautiful anthology and recently had the chance to speak with its creator, Joe Vallese, for my newsletter!

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

ICE didn't exist before 9/11 and has been violating human rights on a daily basis under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Undocumented immigrants pay taxes into the same system we do, which should be funding healthcare, not war. Love to my city of LA. Peace to everyone except fascists✌️

I’m 36 subscribers away from a big newsletter milestone and whenever I hit it, I’m getting a Silent Hill tattoo 💉

happy pride ☠️

Rilo Kiley for Coldplay lol

recently I fell down a liminal space rabbit hole—so I tracked down the creator of one of the genre’s best known images scare-me.beehiiv.com/p/interview-...

✨ tomorrow! 6am PST ✨ my interview with Jared Pike, the artist who created the Dream Pools, is going live on the newsletter

Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good

my copy just came in the mail, stokeddd to read this one 🩸🩸🩸

this week on Scare Me! I sat down with Jared Pike, the artist whose liminal Dream Pools have launched a thousand copycats and memes www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjB9...

we're halfway through the It read along over on my newsletter, which means it's time to unpack all my feelings about (imo) chaotic bisexual Richie Trashmouth Tozier: scare-me.beehiiv.com/p/stephen-ki...

my hottest take is that hannibal and dark shadows have extremely similar premises: normies have trouble identifying a monstrous killer because they're ~european~

“Trans dignity is a losing issue for Democrats, Palestine freedom is a losing issue, the dignity of the homeless and immigrants is a losing issue.” I do not fucking care! Fight for it anyway or give up. What else are we fighting for if not?

there are so many other, better ways to dunk on RFK riiiight there. use ‘em!

I'm not ashamed to admit I was VERY afraid to watch Saw, until @youaregood.bsky.social (ft. Sarah Marshall, @alexsteed.bsky.social + @jamellebouie.net) persuaded me to give it a shot. now I can't believe I ever lived without the pure joy it brought into my life! more thoughts here: bit.ly/3FmRid1

this thread is a wonderful example of Chuck Tingle's profound ability to defuse the rage and hate that permeates so much of social media. he is so deft at turning these flash points into moments of measured reflection that encourage critical thought and self awareness

update: finished it last week and wow, what a story! it will 1) dredge up dad feelings 2) make you laugh and 3) viscerally remind you that Who Framed Roger Rabbit is horrifying

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

last fall, as the days grew short and dark and the anniversary of my mom's suicide approached, I decided to read @stephenking.bsky.social 's IT. I had a hardcover copy on my shelf and needed a project to get me through a period when even deciding what to read was probably going to feel challenging

my TBR is out of control but full of absolute bangers. finally read Sayaka Murata’s wonderfully weird Earthlings, rescued from my town’s library book sale last October

Going to tell my boss that “attending meetings” and “doing work” is performative and I will not be shamed for abstaining

for no reason other than my own entertainment, I'm spending Sunday night ranking every Saw movie. criteria include: presence of John Kramer / Amanda (+), presence of Scott Patterson / Detective Hoffman (-), quality of fake blood, how funny my texts were while watching

Just read this sentence. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/o...

HEY SPEAKING OF CANCER

I’m watching The Burning for the first time and didn’t know Jason Alexander is in it 🥲
