Now watching: (I love this movie so much)

A thing I've noticed about @jasonsanford.bsky.social is how very gentle he usually tries to be with the world. I could honestly say a lot of nice things about Jason (he's easy to compliment) but this is the most important thing: Jason approaches the world with such curiosity and genuine interest.

With alt text, because this is important.

Mini #FolkHorror thread for you. This morning I found this old confectionery box from the 1940s or 50s in a charity shop. I did some delving and found that the horned, devilish character is called 'Der Fulehung' or 'Lazy Dog'. He was supposedly the...

this, but unironically. maximalism will overtake the scourge of minimalism that has plagued literature for too long

Parked on the street with the windows down; a dad and a kid are biking up the hill. The kid is struggling a bit. The dad says, “What I care about is you’re doing your best. You’re doing great.” 😭😭😭 And don’t we all need to hear that, damn.

YOUR ENEMIES LAMENT YOUR VERY EXISTENCE. DOES YOUR BODY NEED STRETCHING?

I was going to make a joke about this but then I actually read it and the answer is literally "your partner not respecting you" and now I'm depressed

OH HEY WANT TO READ A STORY? I wrote this weird soup for you, friends. www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/nomo...

This is terrible advice.

tip: if your dear ones complain about energy prices (valid) and the cost of running ac, point out that it costs less money and energy to just keep the system running than it does to start and stop it every time you wanna cool off ENDURING HEAT IS NOT A MORAL VIRTUE FFS. IT WILL KILL YOU DEAD.

Ok writer pals, looking for a particular craft book. I found it in a used bookstore in LA once upon a time and to my regret didn’t buy it. It used an example of a character with a lot of stuffed toys on their bed (to show greed/need for comfort). Does anyone know what this is?

On my little stretch break walk around at Merry Pin, I found some patches and some stitch markers that I need to gift to a couple of local friends and, really, I know there is no Pride equivalent of an easter basket BUT THERE SHOULD BE MAYBE.

The demands of the body are unreasonable. What do you mean I have to get up and stretch regularly? What do you mean I have to eat food regularly? What do you mean by SLEEP? @geardrops.bsky.social always says “hydrate or die straight” so at least I have my three beverages to ward that off.

THIS IS SO CUTE.

The other night I ordered some new swimwear from Torrid as chlorine has wrecked most of what I have from a couple years ago. And then I saw they had a couple bras with a black velvety flocked snake design. And then I remembered all my house pants have holes in them and paint on them.

As a result of other morning drive thoughts, can you rec me an artist? Looking for someone taking small commissions who is good at a sort of 1970s Disney animation style (for still art, I don’t have an animation budget). No AI, FFS.

Obviously I had such productive and useful thoughts on my drive to work this morning.

Not to get into Heated Rivalry discourse on main but Kesha’s new single with Boy Throb was ghost written by Shane Hollander.

Every article/post/whatever I see from someone who is like "I believed in body positivity but I took this medicine for my metabolic condition and then my body changed, so fat = bad" is just obvious weird propaganda by people who didn't understand body positivity or HAES at all in the first place

not Charon about a thing

I'll try to lift up some other creators alongside my work today. Voice actors and narrators are struggling to keep their footing on YouTube in the face of ai overcrowding and ai moderation. I reached out to a few to learn more about their challenges: #HorrorWritersChat m.youtube.com/watch?v=QAFu...

Spent 2+ hours just hanging out with a friend at a local coffeeshop/cafe - not a writing meetup or anything with a purpose or productivity in mind. I am reminded once again that just sitting and talking with someone is so meaningful and wonderful and beautiful. Human connection is the greatest.

I hope this is his purgatory. I hope all he ever gets to do is be surrounded by fat people living their best lives and smiling. And completely ignoring him. I hope all three of my chins trigger him. I hope the gentle soft sway of my arm fat gives him the sweats.

I just watched a guy go on a minute and a half long rant about how much he hates fat people. I now want to hunt him down and force him to sit between me and Becky on a plane every day for the rest of his life. Every day. While we order snacks.

he's not special. I ALSO saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at trader vic's.

Marianne, you have to stop agreeing to meet people at 10am if you’re going to stay up until 3am. You’re a crumbling heap of bones, please act like it. Maybe make it 10:30am if nothing else.

Can’t wait for this!!!

Everyone please watch this baby condor try to get in its box like a miniature drunk person in a chicken costume.

My friends' toddler is in the stage where she asks "why" to everything constantly and as a person lowkey having a midlife crisis it's like, "same, girl."

This is the only reason I still own a printer. It’s…very old but so worth it for the twice a year I need to print 400 pages.

Speaking of my current project I'm obsessed with right now: If you ever had a truly creepy Disney World experience, I'd love to read about it. I'm especially looking for creepy 1970s Disney World anecdotes. Please repost so I can hear from more people!

One day I spent 45 minutes of a 50-minute session telling my therapist how good I'd been feeling about everything and how much writing I'd been doing and she looked at me and she looked at the clock and she looked at me and then she said "Of course you feel good. You're a writer and you're writing."

🇺🇸 Finally! An UNDUBBED version of THE NURSING HOME, the queer horror movie based on my book, is available to rent on Amazon in the States. The movie had its world premiere at SXSW last year and got great reviews: variety.com/2025/film/re... Watch it here: www.amazon.com/gp/video/det...

Is wanting to just spend time telling people how great you think they are a symptom of perimenopause? I just feel like that would be a really meaningful use of my time lately.

It's writing time so I have purchased rhinestones and rhinestone glue with which to bedazzle my headphones, eaten a bagel sandwich, run around the craft store, put my cardigan on and taken it off like three times... The focus is going SO WELL today.

I got to read an early version of this from @redscribe.bsky.social and I am SO HYPE for it to come out in a matter of days. Hit the pre-order while it's still up, pals! Also, uh, this one is gory. So satisfying. www.amazon.com/Grief-Eater-...

perhaps we may become jolly good bedfellows after all—there’s no telling

Relatable content.

because I know y’all can’t click and read

babe will u pick up some butter extract from the store but make sure its the non-gmo

Oh this sounds DELIGHTFUL. One of my fave songs from the Cure is Lullaby and this has strong Lullaby vibes.

If every restaurant with a drive thru had one small item suitable for dogs on the menu, those restaurants would make so much incidental profit.

Hotfix nailhead studs provide a previously unrealized amount of dopamine.

The worst thing about being a Native artist is that unless there are feathers, buffalo, eagles, tipis and Native people in regalia or silhouetted against a sunset, it's hard to be seen as a "Native" artist. But you know what Native art is? ART CREATED BY NATIVE ARTISTS.

I haven’t even listened to this playlist I just found but I have a good feeling about it.
