Hubs asked for 3 horror movie recs on Friday. I recommended The Dark & The Wicked, Baskin & Undertone. He just told me 'you watch some fucked up shit', and I'm like 'Have you MET me?' (our 20yr anniversary was Thursday.) Guess I WON'T be recommending When Evil Lurks then...

Today, I - had the aforeposted 'rundown' sitch at work - Inadvertently dined and dashed the Whataburger drive thru on the way home - Just now took my dog's leash off in the backyard, while loudly saying 'I'm just gonna take your shirt off' in front of a neighbor It's time for a cocktail and book.

I had an extremely 'office' moment just now. Boss asked me for a 'rundown' of a pending project (not usually or EVER the term he has used for the specific thing he was asking me to do) and I just stared at my screen blankly for at least 45 seconds......

I just saw 'bob wire' instead of 'barb' or 'barbed' wire in my current read, and it gave my little hillbilly soul a sense of home on this day. ✌️🖤👩‍🌾📚

I generally don't feel any kinda way regarding T Swift, but if she IS getting married on July 4 in the biggest city in the US, directly conflicting anything our pedo-in-thief planned at our nation's white trash house, I applaud her wholeheartedly & wish nothing but the best. Baller move. ✌️🖤🎆💒

Watching a possession/FF movie my IT guy recommended, and one of the characters just yelled to another "will you QUIT trying to save that girl, you dumbass?" I had to pause it for a sec, I was laughing so hard. Can't believe someone actually said that out loud. Watching Inner Demons. (2014)

I usually text the spouse when leaving work to let him know which, if any, errands/places I am going on the way home. If coming directly home, I always text 'str8 home, no whammies' 2 yrs ago, autocorrect changed it to 'str8 home now hammies' It's officially now hammies always. #pressyourluck

Attention Austin indie bookstore patrons, @bookpeople.com now has a membership program!! What's that, you ask? 2 different tiers with perks for frequent readers. I joined immediately, and so should you! Book People has been my go-to since I moved to Austin in 1985. ✌️🖤📚 bookpeople.com/list/bookpeo...

I'm NOT a social butterfly. I rarely make 'external' plans (sad, I know) I'm strictly a go to work, go home, repeat person. I have TWO events the 3rd week in July. Just got a fucking JURY DUTY summons for the same week. Any getting out of jury duty schemes that DON'T involve jail time welcome.

When you are only 27% through your current kindle read and you get the notification that the latest from @paultremblay.bsky.social has been now been downloaded to the same kindle, the only option is.....more devices?!? Happy book birthday, Mr. Tremblay! Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep out NOW!

Me explaining the difference between 'based' and 'washed' to the spouse. (Hey, he asked!)

*Whispers* Amazon doesn't need your money, but your local independent bookstore does.

IDGAF what anyone else says, this is an underrated song from a supremely underrated album. (And how sexy was Monster era Michael Stipe??) ✌️🖤🎶👓🤘

If you mosey over to @igreggreene.bsky.social Threads of Dread (link in comments) you can get Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep the t-shirt or sticker, featuring the art of @travisknight.bsky.social plus swag inspired by the work of Stephen Graham Jones and Daniel Kraus.

That feeling of accomplishment when your cursive handwritten address on your Dad's Father's Day card envelope comes out perfectly.....

26 years after publication, in the year of our lord 2026, I will finally read House of Leaves by @markzdanielewski.bsky.social It is time. ✌️🖤👹🏠📚

There's an architect in my office who is super obsessive about making his sandwiches for lunch; he toasts his bread (brought his own toaster in), and every few days, he kinda burns it, and like Groundhog Day, I feel like I'm having a stroke at my desk at least once per week. (Happening right now)

😂😂

Well, look at this news, would ya? Best news I've heard since the Stoker award winners. And I should know, my Dad invented Post-its. 😉 - The “Romy and Michele” sequel, starring Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow, is currently in production and will stream exclusively as a Hulu Original.

In the chaos of last week, I totally forgot to share my inaugural piece that went live on Darker Times! If you want an idea of who I am as a horror writer, the things that brought me here, and the style of what you can expect from me, give this a read :) www.darkertimes.com/the-need-to-...

😂

This physical therapy office waiting room has a bunch of tiny baby jesuses scattered about. I want to 1. Flee 2. Steal one.

I had a lovely chat with the wonderful writer and editor, @meproctor.bsky.social about my debut novel, IN THE DESERT, unique narrative structures and road trips. Have a read x substack.com/home/post/p-...

Retroactively pissed off that I found Archive 81 four years late and there is NO 2nd season?? Genuinely creepy, moving and SO well acted by lead Mamoudou Athie. WTF Netflix? (P.S. this could totally have been a season of Channel Zero, it was so SO good)

Spectacular Friday #bookmail from @rapturepublishing.bsky.social !! Thx for the gorgeousity that is my new copy (#299!) of @scribeofhades.bsky.social new book, Daytide. It's just so. so. pretttyyyyyy.....✌️🖤👹👼📚

Yo. I'll be at #StokerCon next week. Conferences can be a lot if you're newly sober. If you need someone to sit with for ten minutes, I'm around. Ok, back to my hole.

Go ahead and eat that extra piece of cake. I'm not kidding. We're going to be dead a lot longer than we're going to be alive. Enjoy the ride.

Probably not the best idea to watch The Bride! at the same time I'm reading Molka by Monika Kim, bc now my feminine rage is at an all time high. Both are incredible, chaotic, infuriating and beautiful. ✌️🖤♀️📚💣💥

Tonight's watch is The Bride!

Britney is rockin' 4-D chess we can't even begin to comprehend and whatnot.

Tonight's "I hate AI" double feature is Moon (2009) & Ex Machina (2014). ✌️🖤🤖🎬

When you use an Oxford comma, you're doing your part to make the world beautiful, meaningful, and understandable.

Hear me out..... This, but for pop culture references. Each volume would be a decade. (From the woman ever more pissed when ppl don't get her pop culture reference.)

I'm not saying I'm not a Beatles fan, but when I tell you I HOLLERED and came out of my chair when I heard this opening riff...🥹🥹 I LOVE Wings. youtu.be/ob3nHfBHPkg?...

It's my birthday next week and the best present you could give me is to come to my book launch at Listowel Writers Week! Please spread the word! ❤️

Good thing I only had 4 shots of espresso in my latte today, because I am not okay. BEST. POSSIBLE. MONDAY. NEWS. EVER. @paultremblay.bsky.social @gabino.bsky.social

Critical error of bringing the kindle into work with me on admin day. I'm 70% through Itch by @manylittlewords.bsky.social so suffice it to say, zero admin actually being accomplished, due to smoke breaks to read a couple chapters 'real quick' and the excessive showering due to subject matter. 🐜🐜😕

SGJ's post about weird canned meat products sleeper celled my memory of this fine product I ate my weight in growing up. Anyone else hillbilly enough to remember Prairie Belt sausages? Smoked Vienna sausages (that my Dad still eats w/mustard.) Those ingredients, Jesus. How am I not dead already? ✌️🖤🤢

This book was verrrry, very, good, y'all! Highly recommend if you like: - the desert - apocalyptic fiction + time travel - phone booths - fucked up supernatural carnivals, i.e., 'something wicked this way comes' ✌️🖤🏜️👹📚🎡🎪 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Is 63 too old to realize I'm bisexual? (asking for a friend)

Peter plays “Begin The Begin” with Man Or Astroman? at the 40 Watt in Athens Thursday at Expo 2026 celebrating 30 years of Kindercore. Thanks to Sydney Grove for the footage 🙏

I'll always love the fact that Don S. Davis gave us two of the greatest father figures on television with Major Briggs on Twin Peaks & William Scully on the X-Files. Nuanced, sensitive and brilliantly portrayed men with complicated histories who loved their families unreservedly. ✌️🖤

Thys ys not my first hopeless quest that just might be ower last chance.
