What are your top 5 movie genres? Mine are: -That thing that's haunting you is your shit mental health -That thing that's haunting you is your trauma -That thing that's haunting you is your parents -That thing that's haunting you is garbage health -That thing that's haunting you likes you, actually

the world is a bit smaller tonight with the death of Alice Wong. if you aren't familiar with who she was please pick up any of her books.

Four and a half years in, it's time to try something new. Estradiol, meet progesterone. I hope you two get along. 🏳️‍⚧️

Say what you want about Facebook, but the boomers over there are just as with the shit lol

I hate that I had to pause and consider if this was fake, but that's where we are with the NYTs.

It cannot be remembered enough that these were the same people who got worked up about drag brunches

I hate his mistrustful ive become of pretty much all media, but this—a thousand times this. The establishment needs to die. It -deserves- to die.

I don't know what trigger I hit or where, but it seems like over the past week I have managed to catch the attention of every phony book and art marketer in existence, because they have hunted me down at every email address I have—including one that's unlisted—and sent me the same AI-written post.

Evergreen.

I’m sorry but the Telegraph saying “we should all celebrate the worlds first trillionaire” is an instant block from me. Fuck off with that shit unless the subhead is “and now we can sacrifice him and spread his wealth to fix the world he helped break while the rest of us dance the dance of joy.”

Idk who needs to hear this, but the less Islamophobic cops in NY, the better. It's so telling where they want to transfer to. Good riddance to xenophobic rubbish. 👋

he was here, he did his best, and he stayed alive long enough for me to take over. i am glad he is gone, and i think he is too.

www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025... Yes, by all means, secure an astronomically absurd pay package for a petulant, greedy, fascist manchild whose presence has sullied your brand beyond repair for untold numbers of people. 🫠

A dark Miss Piggy movie from Emma Stone and "I don't know if I should say anything political" coward Jennifer Lawrence was not on my 2025 bingo card... www.polygon.com/miss-piggy-m...

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Trans girls America 🤝 Happy to finally get rid of dick

Something-something leopards eating faces… In short: no, Bri, you can’t sit with us because we cannot fucking trust you not to toss us all under the bus again the next time you decide to play pick-me. Want us back? Do the fucking work, or fuck off and keep fucking all the way off to Fuckoffville.

Married my best friend in the whole world earlier this month—can't really think of a better way to celebrate Halloween than just being together and weathering the horrors of the everyday.

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, I've got a new SF-horror story coming out in just a couple of weeks—pre-order here: rattiincantati.com/products/up-... It's about accepting the breaking of the world and having a party while it ends. Fun, lighthearted stuff, not at all a cry for help.

Damn, look at all the quality chills and thrills you can find from trans writers this Halloween! And, OH LOOK, Moonflow is there too 👀👀👀

As the dread day approaches and the spirits begin to stir, now is the perfect time to hunker down with a horror novel! 😈🗡️ This Halloween, TFR shares twelve chilling tales from transfemme authors to match the mood 🖤 A handcrafted rec list with a scariness rating for each book. #halloween #horror

I don’t enjoy this whole- waiting for the collapse of society due to the reckless greed of like 20 dudes

Well, I loved Withered by @agawilmot.bsky.social and look forward to more books from them! I still love the classics, like Halloween. Maybe it’s Jamie Lee. I love her so much. Streaming series, eh? Any recommendations? #SpoonieAuthChat

If you don't throw down a gauntlet with your opening line, what are you even doing? ;)

Oh gosh, thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it. 🏳️‍⚧️👻

Wedding is all said and done, all projects but one wrapped up for the year, let’s gooooooo

I was not expecting to laugh so hard I hurt myself during Osgood Perkins’ The Monkey. Hit exactly the right tone of deadpan absurdism that makes horror comedy work for me (less so the Raimi-esque slapstick that works for so many but sails right past me).

It's a way too busy time of year.

Wow it’s that thing that always happens happening again who could have foreseen.

whomst amongst us

"How do you expect to win back men...?" We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

Happy Ace Week! If you’re looking for ace rep with a splash of mental health-focused horror, might I suggest: ecwpress.com/products/wit...

So I guess I’m married now whaaaaa?

Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head. -The Thing -Event Horizon -Assassination Nation -The Loved Ones

Done work for the day, which means it's officially wedding time. Tomorrow we start the getting-ready process for Friday's ceremony and OH GOD HOW IS IT FINALLY HERE AHHHHH. *deep breath* It's cool. Totally cool. Everything's fine.

Yesterday we posted a big Shadow of the Colossus oral history. Threading a few bits of trivia about that story below...

RIP to Drew Struzen, the greatest to ever do it. 🙌

Death keeps showing up for the wrong D's.

whoa october is around the corner! reminder that we'll be open again for novellas soon. more info here: www.neonhemlock.com/submissions

With all the wedding prep and stuff, I've been neglectful of my spooky season duties, chief among them, self-promoting with abandon. Because what's the point of writing queer mental health–based haunted house stories if you're not going to push them on the populace? ecwpress.com/products/wit...

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

While the film Children of Men is one of the best SF films of the past 30 years, the EL James novel upon which it is based is pretty terrible. Also, as a bonus opinion: Novellas are criminally underrated as an art form. Give me a fluff-free story taken to its logical end point and walk away.

You know you're marrying the right person when she messages you the week of the wedding to ask if you wanna skip out on the whole thing and just hit a drive-in double feature with the Exorcist and Blair Witch Project instead.

Eeee I hope you like Withered!! 💜

The Civil War is heating up

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Sometimes a panic attack smashes into you out of the blue, and sometimes it builds and builds in the background, a daily presence slowly increasing, gaining strength for weeks on end until one day you wake up and your chest and limbs are just -heavy- and you’ve been clenching a fist in your sleep.

Weekend movie watching update: new Naked Gun is as fun as the first film, One Battle After Another is a tense and electrifying ride, Death Becomes Her holds up beautifully, and I finally get the obsession with Kpop Demon Hunters.

So glad to report that PTA’s One Battle After Another is indeed terrific—which is a relief after the total misfire (IMHO) that was Licorice Pizza.
