My favorite John Carpenter film, for all the reasons @wordcountess.bsky.social describes so well here. The existential dread of cosmic horror has rarely been presented on screen so deftly

Okay. Here’s my thread on the comics of Fletcher Hanks as a useful tool for making sense of certain types of popular stories… precisely because he didn’t tell stories in the way we commonly understand

Fischer and Burton just had a neutral interaction and are lying down peacefully near each other 🥹 We so needed this ceasefire in the great kitty war!

Ad: YOU GOT THE TOP! NOW GET THE BRA! Me: *looks down at flat chest* Me: Why, exactly? 😅

[world continues to burn] I’m feeling sad, for no real reason [burning intensifies] I may never know why

Indie Author Question: does anyone know of paid promo sites that don't require your ebook to be on Amazon? Especially for Fantasy & SciFi. (I've tried Bookbub ads, and found my books too niche to find enough comp authors to target them.) Related: does anyone know paid promo sites for direct sales?

The sheer accuracy 😂

Wow, the early scenes of The Avengers (2012) are a damn muddle when it’s been nearly 20 years since you’ve seen the preceding movies

Trans books, you say?

When a movie starts off with a woman’s conscience introducing himself, you know you’re certainly in for SOMETHING 😐

I should write up my “please carry my book” email today and finally start contacting shops ☺️

Hey y'all, I know there's a ton of asks out there and this one may seem less like a "need," but this kiddo could use a win for Disability Pride Month. I know the family, and she's an awesome kid who has had a really rough year and deserves some joy. Anything you can spare would be very appreciated.

Jurassic World is so very bad, but Vincent D’Onofrio in this had the exact energy of every shitty manager I ever had who saw his chance to make everything so much worse

I'm hearing that Netflix is scrambling to find its next hit and I'd like to remind you all that I am RIGHT HERE

We’re enjoying a very lesbian anniversary* *ordering in and watching Jurassic Park

We have to separate our oldest cat behind a door for feeding so that the others don’t run him off, and it’s literally this scene

I’m now a person who has to plan outfits for events

Just wrapped up the first scene of the first chapter of my new wip ☺️ 11 pages and over 2K words. This might not become the longest story I’ve ever written, but it already has the longest single chapter 😅

Happy anniversary @wendistrangfrost.bsky.social 💜🎉 It’s been a pleasure growing old together ☺️

THIS IS A VIBE RECALIBRATION DO NOT SCROLL FURTHER UNTIL THE PROCEDURE HAS COMPLETED

Burton has been sleeping between my legs for a few hours, and it’s very sweet, but eventually I’m gonna need to pee 😅

Fellow SFF Authors, Anyone got SFF about resistance/ rebellion (armed uprising in Fantasy in my case 😉) or revolution?

Put on makeup this morning and got locked out of my work account 😂

It's #PortfolioDay again! Have some random art I'm happy with. And my commission prices at the end. (DM me if you want one.)

Just saw a post praising Different From the Others (1919) for its positive queer rep and stating that the Nazis nearly destroyed it All true! What’s irritating to me is that it then claims that only a fragment or two survived when there’s enough left that you can still watch and appreciate it

The Craft vs Something I Haven’t Already Seen Many Times

hey I'm nonbinary, it's nonbinary day, buy a book or something cause some of my characters are also nonbinary and gay for girls in a dyke way or just tune in to a stream and toss me a fiver if you can. If you don't got money, boosts are nice and I'll give you my shit for free if you want

RAVENKIRK IS FOR THE DOLLS

I am mostly posting this as a reminder to myself to watch later, but Sam Neil made a documentary about the history of New Zealand Cinema and I am sharing it for anyone interested. youtu.be/ovtj1BdAr7o?...

I found out TODAY that it is International Nonbinary People's Day. Which makes me feel bad that it's NEXT month that has that as the theme sale. (You can sign up here: forms.gle/p8d8s5oULqYm...) BUT! In the meantime, share your book links: books you've written or read with nonbinary characters!

The cats have slept through their usual lunch time Torn about whether it’s kinder to let them keep sleeping or wake them up now 😅

It's not Pride month now but it IS Nonbinary Day and both your author and the main character of this Indie Ink Awards finalist story are nonbinary and want you to read this book [also I am tired so I am repurposing this post, as one does when exhausted]

Attention L7 fans: well this is some bullshit. Spread the word and chip in if you can. (Further, per a note from the band, looking ahead to their farewell tour: "Jennifer has asked L7 to continue with the tour as planned, which the band has made the decision to do.")

Highly highly highly recommended!

Celebrate International Nonbinary Awareness Week with my book about an enby werewolf finding love, acceptance, and friends to help absolutely wreck their toxic family! More info at the link below www.fungousanthropoid.com/books
