Eraserhead is a rite of passage many encounter in late high school or first year, pitched to them as a 'fucked up movie,' rental store contraband, basement watched deep in the night, only to haunt them for the rest of their lives like a shadow in ways they won't fully comprehend for decades

it feels as though there have been so many repetitions of patterns of 2017 in early 2025 and I simply wish… there weren’t. I do not need the past to be quite so present. or quite so demanding.

Financial statement today reminded me HOW GREAT IT IS when folks request that their libraries acquire books. 😍 Seriously, if you want a totally free-to-you way to help an author, submit a request with your local library. Those sales help us so much, in whatever format.

My dear friend Alison Lang had a new project for 2025 - MOVIES MEN RUINED FOR ME. She previously put out two volumes of the zine Music Men Ruined for Me which were heartfelt, hilarious and cathartic. If you’re interested, all the details are below! (Follow them on IG for more)

I am honestly just so thrilled to see an incredible performance in horror be given the recognition it's due. The Substance was an unhinged ride, of which I enjoyed every moment, and I'm really happy for Demi Moore. www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...
