Yessss I'm psyched to be signing at @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social on November 2nd with the amazing @beaujohnson44.bsky.social ! It's the release of THE LONG, LOW WHISTLE from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social and I hope you'll come hang out!!

PABRIK GULA is an Indonesian folk horror on Shudder and it absolutely slaps. Excellent spooky season fare

💙📚🩸 Speaking of, I recently got ROCKY HORROR: A BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK AT THE CULT CLASSIC by Mick Rock, filled with his photography from the set and tons of promotional images, chock-full of trivia and inside accounts & memories from cast, crew, and (famous) fans. It's a beautiful book.

Last night Ruby (pibble) went behind the shed which she's not supposed to do. She wouldn't come back when I called so Tiny in his strictest voice yells "Ruby Dooby DOO" like he's full naming a recalcitrant child and y'all it WORKED.

I gather the rapture is supposed to happen, yet again, tomorrow. Great. So, when ppl are randomly being picked up off the street & floating around, my boss will call me on my day off to come in, because, well, a majority of the store will be floating around in the sky with Kirk Cameron & Dean Cain.

Jessica Fletcher called a dog to the stand as witness to a murder literally all your arguments are invalid.

Everything Hailey writes is gold

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Feck yes

Grab a copy!!

Yeah new Alex Warren album may have permanently messed me up. Just gonna be emo over here about situations that are in no way applicable to my life AND YET

nice lighthearted post you've got there. would be a shame if someone sneeringly laid their own personal emotional baggage on it and made it seem like it's your fault for expressing the merest scrap of joy

i’m not going to accept any statement on the “steep environmental cost” of air conditioning while countries are backtracking on their climate goals to keep powering AI

This is an absolutely stellar new release and you should snap up a copy

I've always liked Hard Case Crime covers. In fact, I'm a huge fan of 60s through 80s pulp art. Here are a few I dig. I own more, but sorry only 4 photos on Blue Sky are allowed.

Just close your eyes and jump in (ok then you'll have to reopen them to read)

One of the five poetry collections I published a long while ago went into a 2nd printing (Punk Hostage.) I have 6 hanging around my apt. I don't keep copies of my own work. If you'd like 1 of the 6, pay for the envelope & shipping (3-5 bucks total in USA) & you can just have it free outside that.

It's heeeere!! The follow up to my fave Gothic ghost story is out today and dude if you're lookin' for a lil treat here it is
