Still pretty stoked on my weekend thrifting haul!

So #BoneTemple was thrilling, deeply uncomfortable, & fascinating. One moment that lasted less than a second gave us what I assume is the first zombie’s-eye-view in cinema, akin to 1973’s Westworld giving us the first cyborg’s pov. Nickname: “A Failure of Religion”

Basically #28DaysLater is underwhelming. I call it “A Failure of Morality” #28WeeksLater is better, w/ a surprising cast. I call it “A Failure of Bureaucracy” #28YearsLater is the best yet, is a failure of nothing…if anything it’s “Life…ah…Finds a Way” #BoneTemple, releases tonight on Prime!

My continued fascination with pianos showing up in postapocalyptic media has a new entry: Know the movie?

I’m gonna post fridge poetry more often.

Remember to look up.

Last night’s writing sesh puts our novel at….*drumroll*….

Why the light gotta be so 🥵 today?

Godmorgen.

…and NO questions. You in?

In other news, I just finished When Jackals Storm the Walls. These books are massive, so I’m not ravenous about them…prefer to leave some space before & after such a commitment. But the middle-eastern-coded fantasy is fresh & compelling!! @bradleypbeaulieu.bsky.social @katereadingvo.bsky.social

I’m gonna DNF Dark Matter, and I’m sad about it, but I also think we should be able to talk about it without being disrespectful. The concept is pretty great. But the writing style and the narrator just aren’t hitting for me, AND THAT’S OKAY. Obviously, it’s well reviewed. Have you read it?

The elemental witch in me loves this mural.

Cool design! Looks like magical wards, to me.

How would you describe this to someone who hasn’t seen it?

Wait, wait…at 2:24 does Cap’s shield ricochet off of Thor’s HEAD?! 😂😂😂 youtu.be/kjiSVunIWpU?...

Groceries for Mango = happy healthy parent to some epically cute kids + very heartwarming very spooky very gay creative projects for us all!

Noice. (Good morning!)

Gotta toss out gratitude for Michael Ghelfi Studios …their #DnD ambiance videos on YouTube are proving to be top notch for accompanying my writing sessions. Tonight I’m running Panicking Crowd, Building on Fire, and Battle With Magic, simultaneously.

I love that this is zoomed in so far that it looks like a painting, but it’s an actual unfiltered photograph I took at the zoo.

I never realized “fuck matches” was Smokey’s platform. I have so many questions. Like, is Smokey tiny?? Does he know that match can still be lit?

Nature trips me out, man.

Teehee! #languageisfun

Un. Hinged. 😂

The Testament of Ann Lee is like if Sinners, Die My Love, and The Crucible: The Musical had a baby. In a good way.

I just love it when people have a shelf of crusty old books. What an aesthetic. 😍

On today’s episode of “Mirrors with Frames That Are So Extra”:

Pray for California. (But seriously, snowmageddon check-ins from east coast USA folks very welcome!)

Just over here swooning over the author of one of my all-time favorite books after finding out he’s on bluesky (and protests ICE). @michaelswanwick.bsky.social , thank you for Bones of The Earth, and The Iron Dragon’s Daughter. They cracked open my ideas of what fiction could do and be.

Seeing lots of food posts today. I can play:

And now for a little game I like to call “Smut or Religion?”

I saw this human-made art recently and liked it a whole bunch.

I took my colorblindness-adjusting glasses to an art gallery.

“Gavin is Navarog” is a MUCH bigger reveal/betrayal than “Vader is Anakin” #isaidwhatisaid #fablehaven #brandonmull

Officially part of the altar. ☺️

If it’s you, it’s you.

Kayla‘s ideas and writing are equal parts adorable and spooky and emotional and suspenseful and sapphic. Get this book!

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale reported, "The White House has confirmed its official X account posted a fake image of a woman arrested in Minnesota after interrupting a service at a church where an ICE official appears to be a pastor."

BREAKING: The White House shares an edited photo of a Black woman being arrested by federal agents to make it look like she was sobbing and inconsolable instead of calm and collected. There really is no bottom with these people...

What cutesy or suggestive phrase do YOU add to fortune cookie messages?

I just wanted you to see the mega-extra frame on this mirror!

Not a bad evening. Not bad atall.

I counted 32 books in my possession that I’ve not read or finished. That’s more than I can realistically finish in a year, but I’m gonna work at putting a dent in that number!

🥵😍🤤

Not a digital filter; this photo was taken through colorblindness-adjusting glasses. How would you describe it?

Closing day! Sold-out matinee for Christopher Durang’s wacky comedy “Beyond Therapy”, about love, sexuality, & mental health (?) in the early 80’s. Day job versus night job. Gonna get a haircut after this. 😂😂😂

They won’t say it. #fascistsgonnafascist
