make sure you choose a password that contains capital letters, numbers, and special symbols so that someday the data broker who purchases your info can go "ooh good password" after your login details are inevitably leaked in a data breach you can do nothing to prevent

Oof, this one resonates with my CPTSD so hard, I'm sitting here vibrating like a tuning fork 😬😂

Ah yes. If you got caught up in the whiny techbro blocking tantrum then feeds that they created, which include Quiet Posters and Latest from Mutuals are unavailable too. Bsky devs really need to maintain separate personal accounts to the ones they use for infrastructure!

Join #FrightClub Tuesday at 10 PM ET for our annual presentation of The Fog (1980), jointly with #FullMoonFrights. All are welcome! Happy birthday, Annie! 🖤

In the grim darkness of the not-too-distant future, there will be me giggling constantly while playing this.

I also didn't realize it, and now am so relieved I decided I was too lazy to stop and get my sleepy gummies today 😬

This almost made me snort coffee out of my nose 🐳 😂 Oh Melville, so delightfully kooky

Oh my greedy gore hound gorgons of #HorrorWatch! What shall we watch for our third Musical Horror movie for April? 1️⃣ Rockula 2️⃣ Queen of the Damned 3️⃣ Your Monster 📊 Show results

Ageing: the condition of becoming less serious about all you were once far too serious about and more serious about all that you once undervalued.

Seriously, if you like fantasy novels even a little, Sabriel as read by Tim Curry knocked my socks off 🤩

"And Tim Curry, WHO DID NOT DIE"

This description had me place a hold with the library immediately! 4 weeks wait currently, but happily, my TBR runneth over due to following so many authors here 😄

Hey Bluesky! Could you help me spread the word about my Patreon? Signing up will help me to survive and create more fabric art creatures. Today on the Patreon, Mothman shared some etiquette advice. I also posted some lovely pics from today's town sorcerer walk. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature

I have great news! They're being made! There's only a limited amount being made. So get yours soon!!

When people are talking about their joys, that may be an act of trying not to drown in despair. So perhaps think twice before bursting into their internet space to tell them why you hate something they love. No one owes you a debate or discussion. And you might just be tearing someone down.

Indeed.

Bumping the thread again. Submission form at the end.

First watch of Anna and the Apocalypse, starting now with #horrorwatch

Tonight, Tonight, the Greatest Night of the Week! Join us @ 9PM EST for #HorrorWatch! This is our third night in our musical horror themed month, & we've got a fun little treat for you. That's right, Anna and the Apocalypse! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfWI...

here's the thing about calling AI errors "hallucinations"--real humans who experience hallucinations (or make errors) get fired. take all this energy on comparing [being wrong] to human mental illness when it comes to AI to actual humans with mental illness and I'll forgive the false equivalence

Joining #FolkHorrorFriday a few minutes late, but luckily I have watched Ring / Ringu multiple times including not very long ago 😍

It's time for #FolkHorrorFriday with Ring (1998)

Today in Everything Is Worse Than It Was 10 Years Ago: phone tried to 'correct' plump to plumo, and to remove the closing quote mark 😮‍💨 I'm tired y'all

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! The greatest night of the week. Join us as we watch the musical holiday horror nightmare, Anna and the Apocalypse at 9PM EST www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfWI...

The pattern is: cortez-masto and rosen vote with the Rs whenever it's just enough to give the Rs what they want while keeping everyone else's hands clean (since they're not up for reelection any time soon) So I hesitate to applaud Ds who vote against things that squeak through with their votes 🤨

Looking at today's memes brought me a story in four parts:

7. Montana's court put it simply: if a cis woman's birth certificate says "M" by mistake, she can fix it. If a trans woman's says "M," she can't. Both want the same document. One gets it; the other doesn't. The only difference is sex assigned at birth. That is a law that by definition hinges on sex.

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

Vonnegut: 1965

I like to imagine that Zohran Mamdani, Socialist African-born Muslim, was literally willed into existence by the collective psychosis of the Tea Party GOP over Obama, like the ectoplasm under NYC in Ghostbusters II

First new music Waits has released in 15 years. genius.com/Massive-atta...

Non-agricultural people are being ignorant about the difference and uses of hay and straw in my mentions as a result of this discussion so let's break it all down in broad strokes but finer than these to explain why no one is using hay for a mattress in a medieval setting.

Once again, they updated/modified something on this site, and autoplay got re-enabled 😒 Reminder folks: you get to toggle it back off in every device and/or browser you access bluesky from 🤡

Happy Thursday, I wave, as I clutch my hand sanitizer

First watch of The Old Dark House (1963) for me I'm already charmed by the intro illustrations #FrightClub

Whole new fields of rehab will need to be created, the way things are going; everything about this is at least as bad as the tall tales they told us in D.A.R.E in my youth.

And just now, I got the email; Shudder is going up to $10/mo unless I want to stay at $8 and watch ads* I keep reminding myself that back in the day I used to spend that much each trip to the video rental place, 2 or 3 times a month, IN 2005 DOLLARS, to watch the same amount of stuff.

"At a time when data center deals are falling through and AI companies ... deal with the hardware crunch they themselves caused, why and how a shoe company plans to parachute in to solve this problem is beyond me, a simple small business owner who also on occasion wears shoes." 😆 good one

*whispers* t w o d a y s

Wait- we’re still allowed to have good surprises???

I wish backstories and worldbuilding had stayed out of the blockbuster sphere and where they justly belong: in doorstop books that the nerdiest fans devour and everyone else can ignore

I make the art. I make it well. If this piece doesn't work, no matter. I move on to the next one. The work continues. I make the art Because I am a man Not a machine. I make the art To know myself. I make the art To give myself to others. I make the art To not be alone.

Join #FrightClub and post along our #HammerWednesday selection, The Old Dark House (1963), at 10 PM ET. Available on Tubi. It's an old dark favorite!

This makes him almost worthy of pity, and I'm sure some would think "why pity terrible people?" and to them I say: these people enjoy when you trash talk them because they see it as proof that they got under your skin. Whereas shining a light on how pitiful they are? That's how to do it.

This is a great book, and I'm very glad to see Josie's real name, and the lack of a certain other.

sigh. We need to get polls in bluesky. You hear that, @support.bsky.team? Anyway, #HorrorWatch! This one randomly decided to close in 24 hours, so we're watching Little Shop of Horrors this Saturday at 9PM EST

Vote, #horrorWatch, vote! And make your voice heard! What murderous musical shall we watch this Saturday?

Black women calculating orbits, Deaf students with damaged vestibular systems. Fuck, it's like this stuff is so fucking hard we need EVERYBODY. Imagine if we could find a way to let everybody do their best all at the same time? Cheers to the Gallaudet 11. Cheers to us all.

When I was young and Catholic, this meant a lot to me, that JC is cool with the criminal and is like "yeah, this sucks, but come party at my dad's house with me afterwards"
