I cannot figure out what all the reviewers who hated this movie wanted from it. The visuals are insane, Marlon Wayans is extremely unsettling, and it has some vague but interesting stuff to say about what kind of person strives to be an elite athlete. Is that not enough for you?!

HIM was so fucking fun, and what a great role for Marlon Wayans. I just want to understand why the title wasn't THE GOAT as the writer clearly intended.

Mass market paperbacks are so good. Why did horror abandon the loyal and unassuming mass market paperback? I dream of publishing a mass market paperback someday.

As fall and baking season approaches, I would like to make my position clear on an important matter: pumpkin bread rules, banana bread drools.

Usually my Loud Music Neighbors are blasting cumbia, which is no problem, but today it's like... extremely abrasive techno. Like I genuinely had a moment of "is someone using power tools?"

Abortion could win more elections by compromising on Democrats.

A huge swath of Americans voted for both Trump and abortion rights in 2024, and I'm fucking baffled by that, but even more baffled that NO DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS seem to be putting any effort into winning over those voters.

I know so many Dems are allergic to “abolish ICE” but I really want them to get that “prosecute ICE” is absolutely a thing to run on in addition to being the transparently morally correct stance

Abortion is more popular than Democrats basically everywhere! Even in bluest Colorado, abortion protections won by a much bigger margin than Harris did. There is no logical thought process that leads to "Dems should give up abortion to win elections."

Hakeem Jeffries supporting Charlie Kirk before endorsing Zohran Mamdani is really fucking nasty.

perfect timing to have encountered this rebecca solnit quote this morning

Not really the point but imagine going to Starbucks and paying Starbucks prices for... mint tea with honey?! The cheapest and easiest thing in the world to make at home?

I miss going to a video rental place with my best friend and finding the horror shelf and doing dramatic readings of the back covers of insane low-budget movies we'd never heard of.

I got spite but I'm not a spider

These are the words every woman longs to hear

I think The Minecraft Movie is the worst movie I've ever seen, and yes, I will reiterate that I have seen The Gay Bed & Breakfast of Terror.

yeah okay I gave it my best shot but turns out I cannot write scary shit about desecrated graves while listening to Cardi B

Psssst - there's no reason to RSVP to a protest and that's never been a thing protesters do. You can just show up, because your body being there IS the protest. The list does nothing to "spread the word", it's just a commodity for sale. Don't fall for it.

Please don't ever let me see you saying shit like "my book isn't really that good but I wish someone would nominate me for -" I'm not nominating you for SHIT until you COWGIRL UP AND STAND BEHIND YOUR WORK

If I may recommend a recommendation, THIS IS MY BODY is eligible in the novel category! And I'm gonna be honest with you: I think it's good as hell and deserves to be on the list.

me: making art is difficult. criticism is harsh and cruel. doctor: treatment is simple, stay away from your worst critics. go spend time by yourself me, bursting into tears: but doctor,

I love it when people post stuff like this because I get to feel like a motherfuckin hero for liking free books and a quiet place to write 🤣

You know what, the Rider-Waite tarot deck is a smug bitch and I'm tired of pretending it's not. "Oh you thought this card was BAD? Just because it says DEATH and has a picture of a fucking armored skeleton leading a fucking bone army into battle? That's adorable! You're like a baby who's stupid!"

I need to make a playlist for the book I'm writing but I am stymied by my extremely scant knowledge of any music made before I was born. What would a suicidal gay person have listened to in 1893?

Sirens would absolutely get me by just singing "heeeeyyy. Look at these cool rocks!"

You know how I'm always saying "the best horror is deeply sad"? Feels like this book heard me and went "hold my beer." (To be clear, I mean this as a high compliment.) THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS is coming for you! 3/31/26.

There was this ad on TV years ago with a fridge charging a guy a fee to withdraw his cheese. He looked sad and confused and said "but... that's MY cheese." I think it was a bank advertising their free ATMs? Anyway now we've got "upgrade to premium for an ad-free cheese experience."

My daughter explained the plot of K-Pop Demon Hunters to my brother and he said "wow, that sounds a lot like Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park"

i saw goody proctor making inflammatory posts about charlie kirk

I just finished @tamikathompson.bsky.social's debut novel THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS (coming in 2026!) and, damn, this one is hard-hitting. Scary, captivating, and absolutely sticks the landing. You're gonna want to pre-order it as soon as you can.

A lot of good, principled people have lost their jobs over this Charlie Kirk bullshit. Here's an opportunity to support one such person, and read some excellent writing in the bargain.

I am not fast but I AM furious

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

Me: As soon as I catch up on sleep it's over for you hoes You hoes: [blissfully unconcerned, knowing I will never catch up on sleep]

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

My 6yo came up to me, waved her hand up and down like she was using a tool in Minecraft, then took my seltzer and walked away... I think she just mined my seltzer.

This is not the wild and precious life that Mary Oliver wanted for me

my loneliness is killing me and I must confess, I still believe when I'm not with you I lose my mind give me a sign hit me baby one more time thank you for reading this abridged version of FIGHT CLUB by Chuck Palahniuk

This morning, the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concluded that the Israeli government is committing genocide — affirming what Palestinians and experts have been saying for nearly two years.

"over-the-counter sleep aids are correlated with dementia" hi yes do you think that not sleeping for the next 30 years might also have some impact on my cognitive function

Me: I'm going to the library for some peace and quiet to read. I need to finish these two books I'm supposed to be blurbing Also me: ... somehow I have checked out five more books.

The response to Kirk’s death has neatly folded into the broader fascist purge of journalist, educators and artists.

Just watched a guy hold up at least five cars in a crowded elementary school parking lot so he could back into a space, smiling as if to say "GOD IS NOT REAL AND I WILL NEVER FACE JUSTICE"

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

We aren't talking as much as we should about the Charlie Kirk purges being another round of resegregation. Yet another flimsy excuse for America to round up journalists and teachers who display less than full throated support for white supremacy.

Julius dares to ask the question: what if a boy, was round

Literally anything: [happens] The worst fuckin people on this godforsaken website: GRETCHEN FELKER-MARTIN WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS

Went to Denver Zine Fest and am once again wondering why I don't make zines. I really strike myself as the kind of person who would make zines.

Conservatives will really be like "can you name even ONE racist thing that Charlie Kirk said" and then when you name five they're like "well can you name ONE that I DON'T AGREE WITH"

Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl is so hilarious conceptually. "he was the handsomest and richest boy in all the world. a silver-tongued devil. a charmer without a soul. and his name... was Yeet Fish."
