we fuck gender in THIS house

also the fact that some of the drugs I take daily could cause dementia! or speed it up in people who already have it! Or maybe stave it off, no one is sure!!

serotonin syndrome is quite rude, honestly. (as someone with lots of comorbid shit, it's something I worry about way more than I probably should.)

this fucking sucks, let's help!!!

This rings hollow, Mr Mayor, when the city’s hospitals are illegally shuttering their trans care programs and you refuse to comment on that, answer questions about it, or take any actions to stop it. Paying lip service to fighting for trans lives isn’t the same as actually doing it.

It's a fact. When you recommend a friend for a freelance gig, your soul gets a big kiss from the psychopomp, muse, or beneficent entity of your choosing. ✨💫🌟

reminiscing about Yidcore the band, as you do.

I slept too well last night, and the extra energy is making me anxious. a sleepy bitch simply cannot win!

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

I think the no kings protests are fantastic and I am so stoked for everyone who is out today! I am terrible in crowds but with you all in spirit.

holy shit, bookshop dot org has a double ebook of Thomas Ligotti's Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe on major sale.

it is rude that I am unable to purchase a digital download of Light Asylum's 2010 EP "In Tension" on bandcamp or anywhere else, for that matter.

I would prefer not to

as someone who spent far too many late nights at Denny's and Dan's Lakewood Cafe in Dallas (and their Greek diner siblings in Yonkers) in the '90s, usually smoking cigs and trussed up like a flouncy funereal pirate, I think I will skip the dinergoth piece.

omg Strega NONA I'm so sorry Tomie dePaola z''l

simmering ingredients for a soothing tea on the stove for two hours makes me feel like Strega fucking Nonna.

the other jenni miller who loves to shop online using my email address is about to get a rude fucking awakening as I am now logging into her accounts that I get endless emails for, changing the passwords, and telling the stores to delete the account associated with my email address.

i was a full adult when tsa started and watched people get numb/accustomed to having them there in real time … we cannot let this happen with ice. all kinds of sky cops are bad and also this is a definite escalation

still parsing yesterday's delightful afternoon at the Algonquin, which involved more gossip about Ben Weasel than you'd expect.

An an American in NYC, I concur with this advice for non-citizens. Especially important if you are from a group targeted by the president–Black people, Muslims, Latinos, and those from countries he reviles. If you must come here, research how to best protect yourself and follow precautions.

I have been so social lately, I have spent time with people other than my live-in partner every day since last Wednesday. as a freelancer, this is incredible.

1000 Women in Horror is delightful and I'd watch/read a million more.

it is so important to be in contact with people who remember and love different iterations of you.

Dust Bunny is so weird and delightful! I'm not sure I totally followed it, but I enjoyed it.

this image is used on the cover of a great Pain Teens album, which I did not realize was referencing this book until just now.

after or perhaps while we were watching The Last Sacrifice on Shudder and I was cackling madly with delight about all of the footage of nekkid '70s British witches, Rufus went online and bought this book for me on eBay.

Matt Johnson saying "sorry" to a raccoon from Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie

I am tired of doing things that are productive and/or good for me.

being almost 50 is mostly pretty great, but then I discover things that I would have made my whole fucking personality slash LIFE if I were still in college (like Ann Radcliffe), and that is kind of a bummer.

this is a terrific interview and very relatable.

Obligatory plug that today is the last day to get 15% off your first year of Scratch using the link below. We made the intentional choice NOT to use Substack for our literary project, which means we’re particularly dependent on word of mouth and subscriptions to maintain it. Thanks, all.

I have two clowns inside me. One is fascinated by British occultists and ceremonial magick, and the other doesn't want to be told what to do by dead white guys.

I'm obviously biased, but I think if you love books and are looking for recommendations, you cannot go wrong with Rufus. he reads deeply, widely, and constantly. And he has excellent taste!

hetero cis men have forfeited the right to attempt polyamory until they collectively get their shit together.

I got a refurbished iPhone 14 Pro as my most recent phone because I don't want to run an iOS with the new built-in Apple Intelligence, but Apple won't stop pushing ios26 on me and I may have lost the will to fight back.

Amy Madigan becomes, FINALLY, the first Oscar winner from STREETS OF FIRE

today in therapy I realized I'm about the age now my mom was in some of these early memories, since she had me at 38.

When we talk about how every god damn thing a Ryan Coogler project touches is intentional, this is what we mean. Why Misty Copeland wore not just a Firebird costume, but *this* Firebird costume #Oscars #Sinners www.vogue.com/article/mist...

thinking w/so much love of my mom, so shy and anxious but also a working woman and mentor, and how she took me to see arty movies and got me any book I wanted, played bubble bobble with me and fed mac and cheese to the crusty punks I brought home and tightened my corset before I went out gothing.

The Inwood was my favorite movie theater growing up in the '80s and early 90s, when it only showed foreign films, indies, docs, and revivals. What a film education! I wrote a piece for @dmagazine.bsky.social about the experience: www.dmagazine.com/publications...

the lower east side is filled with crowds of the most boring, normie-ass college kids waiting in line to drink green beer!!!

I really want someone to continue giving Maggie Gyllenhaal piles of money to make deeply weird movies.

Did I just impulse purchase a hand puppet that looks like a cat in a sumo wrestling outfit and also protects your arm from little claws and teeth because it's almost spring and our potato man needs enrichment? reader, I bought it. catsumo.co/products/cat...

tonight on our walk home, in between telling Rufus about the east village that was ("this was an empty lot!"), I remembered that I interviewed Peter Sarsgaard for Orphan??

I'm glad we saw The Bride! in the big screen. I'm just delighted with the splattery gross sexy weird hyper-literate spectacle of it all.

I finished reading "A Sicilian Romance," and Ann Radcliffe's love of vast, subterranean passages as a plot device is really putting my claustrophobia to the test.

I did, like, two things around the apartment after dinner and the CAKE song is playing in my head. she is vacuuming the ottoman! she is shredding old bills! she is taking out the recycling and installing the new modem!!!

today someone asked me what I did and the first thing that popped out of my mouth was "writer?" which felt weird.
