Well... at least the horses and donkeys can act. #Svengoolie

I’ve been experimenting with essays that are exactly 100 words long and have accumulated quite a few of them. I’m looking for places to submit them, but I’ll gradually post some of them to my blog. This one is fitting for Halloween. lalehtheghost.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/s...

Just finished streaming Them! since I wasn't home to watch it with #Svengoolie . How many Wilhelm screams did you all count? At least four or five, I think...

Sharing because I always forget not to "like" posts that sound cool

Thank you so much! This journal is great to work with.

I'm catching up on some of the Godzilla movies on Tubi before they go away at the end of the month. Right now watching Final Wars, which is kind of ridiculous but fun too. Will take a Godzilla break to catch #Svengoolie .

Any enormous nerds in here who are reading all of the Star Wars #HighRepublic content? If so, does Stephen Miller remind anyone else of Niv Drendow? (Though I have to apologize to Niv Drendow; as despicable as he is, he probably doesn't deserve to be compared to Stephen Miller.)

I was thinking the whole time, "if this were a Hammer film, Carol would be the one axing people." Guess Castle had it in him too. #Svengoolie

The Svengoolie Stomp video is so much better than the Hey #Svengoolie video!

In honor of today's movie and my favorite band, here you go. #Svengoolie www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQBJ...

Ohhh, now I remember the twist... #Svengoolie

Why is a knife a symbol for murders committed by strangling? #Svengoolie

Why does Boddy Sorrel say "Hey Rob"? I missed that somewhere along the way. #Svengoolie

Okay, this commercial is doing Roxette dirty. RIP Marie. #Svengoolie

Do people find Dr. Z funny? #Svengoolie

"Completely undisturbed ... let's disturb it!" (Also that looked like a modern door with metal locks) #Svengoolie

When a TV show mirrors real life... youtu.be/YNbozdc08IE?...

What is that weird mouth noise some people make at the beginning of sentences. Kind of like a "kiss" sound but between the tongue and teeth. And why do they do it? It's really annoying and seems to be becoming more prevalent. #misophonia hell

How about online booksellers go ahead and list the publisher location along with the publisher name and publication year to make it easier for us poor saps who are editing reference lists? Seriously, why are some of them so hard to find? #amediting

I know I need a break from editing when I keep thinking "That word looks weird. This is a weird word." Today it's "chapter." It just looks weird. #amediting

Maybe "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" should be amended to "Don't feed poison to the one that bites you" #Svengoolie

#Andor Day!

Kay has a talent for choosing especially terrible music for their commercials. #Svengoolie

A David Dastmalchian reference is always welcome. By the way, check out his Grave Conversations on YouTube! They're fun and surprisingly comforting. #Svengoolie

Must be a short movie if they're adding in these bits already #Svengoolie

Why my personal essay game sometimes sucks... #creativenonfiction #writing

Breathy-voiced sad dog commercial. Snack break. #Svengoolie

Got up at 2:15 am for work and have to do the same tomorrow, but I haven't seen this movie before! #Svengoolie

Might have to read this one

A warm thank you to @andrewcareaga.bsky.social for interviewing our Founding Editor for you Friday Five feature. #editor #interview #literaryjournal #writingcommunity #musician

My neighbor's singing and guitar playing has the same effect #Svengoolie

Rodan's like, "What the hell, I take one afternoon nap and wake up on a different planet with these knuckleheads?" #Svengoolie

By the way, I published a piece in Syncopation Literary Journal that mentions both Godzilla and #Svengoolie. Called "Rewiring My Childhood with Blue Oyster Cult and Classic Monsters." It's in Volume 4, Issue 1, under creative nonfiction if you're interested. syncopationliteraryjournal.wordpress.com

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. (Thread)

I just signed up for technical writing courses. Wish me luck!

I’ll be crumpled on the ground sobbing, uncontrollably into this, wretched earth if anyone were to need me. “I never left my people’s side. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free. For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.”

My piece is called "Rewiring My Childhood With Blue Oyster Cult and Classic Monsters. Read the other pieces in that issue too; some great stuff in there! Thank you, @syncopationlit.bsky.social

Catching up on unopened emails. I enjoyed this flash essay by Anne Visser Ney via @short-reads.org. www.short-reads.org/of-peas-and-...

#Svengoolie is down in these polls. Let's fix that! metv.com/me_madness/

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

Haven't seen Puppet Master, but I'm guessing it would be too intense for my 12-year-old even with the MeTV censoring, correct? #Svengoolie

I disconnected the Mohu Leaf and reconnected the old rabbit ears; hoping for the best tonight! There are storms in the area, though... #Svengoolie

Working on a transcription; why do some people have to make weird mouth noises at the end of every fricking sentence?!? #misophonia

Our TV's reception sucks harder than Dracula tonight #Svengoolie

🧐

Help fill a thirsty snake's bowl with liquor today, and we'll send you this T-shirt... #Svengoolie

Just saw a commercial that FSU theatre dept is performing Young Frankenstein. Might have to go! #Svengoolie

The '70s had a lot of great styles. However, this movie seems to have collected all the worst part of '70s aesthetics. And a lot of beige. #Svengoolie

Well that name brought the mood down... #Svengoolie

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.
