Worst Dad in horror. The damn WORST.

New Father's Day tradition - watching horror movies that have cool and courageous father figures.

Working on a carousel for Instagram to share on @gravemoonstudios.bsky.social

Colonialism is a horror I'm exploring in one of the scripts I'm writing; some days I feel frightened of my own writing & where the story is headed. As a writer it's my job to create the monsters in these stories, & given the history of the world, it isn't hard to find the inspiration for them.

More than 100,000 Puerto Ricans are currently without running water, and some communities are also dealing with power outages. www.washingtoninformer.com/puerto-rico-...

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love my baby void Beans. However, I think I am squishy for this little baby, too. LOOK AT THOSE EARS. Tiny satellite dishes. Missed opportunity to name her SETI. Shelley is perfect, though, and so are her ears. 🐾

Thank you everyone for sharing and signing! 🖤

Colonialism in Puerto Rico is alive and well, unfortunately. A section of Puerto Rico's coastline is being privatized. I'm hoping to get five signatures added to this petition to help begin the process of stopping Project Esencía. Details in the link. c.org/LRYvZNn4rB

Hiiii. 🖤

Our kitten has found the wires in my recording space and my heart jumped out of my chest and screamed with me when I saw her chewing the ✨️FORBIDDEN NOODLES✨️

I don't mind that I've gone up a pant size since getting laid off. I mind how much it hurts when I try to walk after sitting down to work on writing or recording. Let's go, body, I don't have time for this. 🏃🏽‍♀️‍➡️

I did a brave thing today, and it is fueling me to keep doing more brave things. GIF related. 🚀

My studio website is done enough to share: gravemoonstudios.com Now all I need to do is create the content galleries, which also means I need to create the content. Most of it is ready. However I will need so much cafécito for this - I believe in myself now more than I ever have.

I think she likes my hair.

Shelley helped me work on a website for Grave Moon Studios today. As yours truly is trying very hard to excel and succeed and do more...I am slowly burning out and doing what I can to unplug when necessary. Yet, I am proud to keep going. Especially when my assistant is this adorable.

Not sure how to talk about this...people might think I'm crazy. Here goes... A Dunkin' bucket started appearing in our apartment a few days ago. Every time I got close to it, it...glitched. Disappears and reappears at random.

Did I take a bunch of liminal-style pictures around my apartment for a little project? Yep. Will it be unsettling and horrific? Yep.

You wake up one morning, and your favorite family photo is missing. You dismiss the feeling, because it isn't the first time you've woken up and...noticed things were different. But it is the first time you've noticed the outlets staring back at you. ...in shock. 🥁

Kittens are so inspiring and cute. 🥺🖤

When you zoomie yourself into a nap.

Shout-out to anyone on the hunt for work: We will find it. 🖤☕️

If you like liminal space melodies...I made one!

We have a new member of our coven. Meet Shelley.

This is what my room in THE BACKROOMS Would sound like. A sinister "Welcome Home" feeling where home doesn't always feel familiar in a good way after you've spent time healing from what happened inside it. Definitely for the @gravemoonstudios.bsky.social archive. 🖤

Just gave myself a jump-scare while trying to make a BACKROOMS-inspired melody. I think it might not be half-bad.

Sometimes I think about the witchy little cottage from the movie "CLUELESS"

The code switch that happens between talking with my Dad versus talking with a doctor's office is so wild.

Don't forget to actually record your work. 🔴🫶🏽😆

I'll be in my cave of creation a lot this summer in preparation for this. 🖤🧟‍♀️✨️☕️

The amount of inspiration in this single shot is uncanny. One of my favorite things to do is take a random photo and imagine it as the centerpiece of a scary story.

If I ever get rich, it'll look like me sitting in my yard talking to my dahlias and orchids while wearing a really big hat and a flowy dress on a random Tuesday, while also picking tomatoes and cucumbers from a garden I serenade like, "588-2300, Empiiiiire!🎶"

Cuddle time. 🖤🐈‍⬛🐾

Writing up grant letters to arts organizations for funding to expand my projects so that I may hire people for things and maybe buy an old movie theater is on my bingo card for this year. I have too much I want to do and no funds to do it with...I'll find a way. I always do.

Pretty happy with this one, honestly.

I made a little slideshow about this - BlueSky doesn't allow more than four images but if you'd like to see the full list, its on my Instagram! Here: www.instagram.com/p/DYucju0jvu...

There has been several cafecitos and a lot of food, and I think I've written close to 2k words today. Planning out a launch for a few months from now for a smaller project has been so fulfilling, and creating towards it is even moreso. Working hard to prove myself to myself, I think. 🖤

I would like one cafécito the size of my butt, please. ☕️

The list is pretty long, honestly.

Always be authentic and honest. I am always striving to live by that, even through difficult times. Never know how far someone will go into any era of success; best to be remembered kindly, fondly, and with a smile.

Might read you a spooky story, or become the portrait demon that will steal your soul. 🖤

My inner demons waiting for more caffeine

It's World Goth Day. 🖤🖤🖤 I like that any day can be a thing if we all collectively celebrate it. This is the whimsy I like.

There are several moments in cinema that have stuck with me, and this scene in "The Land Before Time" is one of them.

Production still goes on - halfway there, and pacing myself over the next few months for Project A. Noir thriller, horror and paranormal elements.

Final Draft has been helpful as a writing tool, glad I've been able to cleanly organize my documents. I still like using Notepad but...having something new to organize all the craziness that's been pouring out of my brain feels really nice. Now if only I had several more hours in the day. ☕️

No, YOU are having a lot of feelings as you write a story that both serves as a little catharses while listening to moody lofi.

Very fun meet-up at Hunter's On Halsted here in Chicago, tonight! Learned about the bar's history and the very haunted basement. Did not go into the basement! Also - ritual dagger. Very creepy - the history behind it involves actual human sacrifice.

Okay, my cozy little noir horror thriller is almost done. Three of six scripts finished, concept music done. Why am I stressing out?! 😆

Sometimes you know the world is burning like a giant s'more but you put on red lipstick anyway and handle the day as it comes, like a true final girl would.
