Finally became a shapeshifter ama

POV you ask for uppies and I decide to be nice

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson. I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.

It’s so easy to just not watch/support content that actively harms marginalized communities. If you can’t do that maybe you’re a bad person

Don’t forget Spyglass dropped Melissa Barrera from Scream for vocally supporting Palestine. Fuck that movie. I hope it flops

During my annual review today at work i got negative remarks for wearing dark makeup at an event we hosted six months ago. Apparently my department head thought i was making her look bad even though no one said anything. Hard not to take it personal when no one brought it up beforehand

I’m doin my best out here

Church of Frendo is. definitely an ending to a story. It wasn't my favorite, and it takes some WILD swings, but you can't deny that it is a book with a clown in a cornfield. #bookreview #horror #clowns #clowninacornfield

For some reason #FrendoLives doesn't seem to be as popular as the first Clown in a Cornfield book, but I think it improves it in every area. The story is bigger, gorier, and more dangerous than ever. Do you think it suffers from middle movie syndrome? #bookreview #ClownInACornfield #horror #clowns

I think #ClownInACornfield is actually a lot of fun! It can be a little silly at times, but I think it's self aware enough to still make a couple solid points. If I had to choose between this and the movie I think I'd take the book, but clowns are popular right now so why not watch both?

T. Kingfisher is another author whose works I have fallen in love with recently. #WhatFeastsAtNight is an excellent addition to the Sworn Soldier series and I cannot wait for the third book to come out. If you like cold, dark, and folksy fairytales this is the book for you. #bookreview #swornsolider

I saw The Vegetarian in every book store I went to last year, and it may have been one of the most uncomfortable stories I read (that's a good thing) The Vegetarian is a biting commentary on loneliness, violence, and misogyny. It's unsettling and worth a read!

How your email finds me

As someone who has watched every Scooby-Doo movie/special, I feel like I'm in a special position to review this. Meddling Kids sure is something. It's weird but not horror weird, more like "my mom heard this is gay so she bought it for me and she's not WRONG, but she's also not entirely right"

I think it's safe to say I didn't enjoy Stolen Tongues as much as booktok. It would make for a great short story, but with its pacing and the way it falls into the Magical Indigenous Person trope I just couldn't vibe with it. An effort was made, but there are better versions of this story out there.

Ryan La Sala's #thedeadofsummer was one of my most anticipated books of 2025, and frankly, it rules. Give me more ocean-based body horror and survivalist drag queens please. The only downside to finishing it so quickly is now I've got to wait for the sequel. #bookreview #horror #ecohorror

I love sci-fi horror and Dead Silence hits every right note for me. Equal parts Dead Space and Ghost Ship, it was something I couldn't put down. Give me more anti-capitalist space horror, it's fun, it's creepy, and I enjoyed every bit of it. #horror #bookreview

Not enough birds for me. Did you know the concept art for the creatures in the netflix adaptation depicts them as gross grey babies? how am I supposed to be afraid when that's all i can think of now? Is the sequel worth checking out I'm GENUINELY asking. I think the birdbox challenge was worse

Need to know y’all’s favorite video essays pls

Gotta love a good anthology, and Never Whistle at Night hits all the right notes for me. It's hard to pick a single favorite out of the 26 options, but each one has its own flavor of horror, mythology, and lessons. The audiobook is great too. I have so many new authors and artists to check out now

I've never read a book yank the proverbial football away from me at the last second like #WeUsedToLiveHere. Did I enjoy it? Yes I thought it was unsettling and I read it in one sitting. DID I APPRECIATE THE ENDING NO I DID NOT. I'd understand if there was never a sequel published, but... please?

I wasn't sure the #southernreach trilogy needed another story but I'm glad we have one! Absolution may not be everyone's cup of tea- its three stories vary in tone/horror/absurdism but I love this series with my whole heart. I also got my copy signed so I may be a bit biased. #bookreview

Hehehehehehehehe

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is SO COOL. I'm a sucker for vampire stories (ha) and the way this story blends mythology with classic vampire tropes had me immediately hooked. Gory, tragic, and so much fun, I think this might be Stephen Graham Jones' best work. #bookreview #horror #vampires

Hope you're ready for mostly #horror reviews because it is in fact Halloween season. #ThisCursedHouse was one of the last books I read in 2024 and it was one I thought about for a long while after. There are so many turns through fear, anger, and grief that make it so compelling.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder capitalizes on the trend of small town true crime content and evolves it into justifiable rage. I really liked #AGGGTM, especially once it shakes off its high school setting. It has one of the most satisfying conclusions to a story. I give it a WHAT? HELL YEAH! WHAT?

It’s the final week of my workout plan! It’s tricky to say how I feel. I’m a bit heavier than when I started but I’m also feeling pretty strong. I don’t focus on my own weight, just feeling good. Might try to see what my new three rep max is soon 👀 #powerlifting #fitnessprogress #lgbtqfitness

#IFeedHerToTheBeast might be one of the most unique series I've ever read. I didn't know I needed eldritch horror and ballerinas together but I'm so glad they've entered the depths together. The characters are ambitious, messy, and bloodthirsty. I can't wait to see what else Jamison Shea makes

We are currently at $141/425. Thank you for the support and donations. I am still trying my best to get these bills paid off as quickly as possible. If you are able to reshare, it would be appreciated.

Books 3 and 4 of the #Murderbot series are so much fun and continue to build on its corporate espionage and action sequences. I just love this lil guy. Whether he wants to admit it he embraces his human side more and more to great effect. #scifinovel #bookreview #space

The best thing about #WickedBeauty and #RadiantSin is how much they shake up the formula for the #DarkOlympus series. A tournament arc and a murder mystery in my romance novel? Yes please. Wicked Beauty also has some of the best polyam rep I've ever read so double points there. #bookreview

I'd never read the #JurassicPark novels before and honestly i think they might be better than the movies? If you love dinos and hate capitalism you should definitely check them out (then rewatch the ones with Jeff Goldblum) #bookreviews #sciencefiction #horror #dinosaurs

Adult friendships are hard. That's why I'm glad books like #Mimosa and #InFiveYears Exist. Honestly I'll take any story involving queer adults just trying to do life, even if they break my heart. #bookreview #lgbtqia #friendship #graphicnovel

Still going strong in our #powerlifting routine! Feeling very sore today but honestly worth it. Leg day and squats are always my favorite anyways so good job team. #lgbtqfitness

It's always neat going back to read an author's first book. #Reverie by Ryan La Sala sets a strong foundation without leaning too much into the horror that his future novels take. It's fun, glamourous, and worth checking out! #fantasy #bookreview #YAnovel #RyanLaSala

Today's the day! Come catch up with me at 7pm Pacific over on twitch.tv/strawberryshortk8 ✨ See you then!

Is the original Doctor Moreau furry-adjacent horror? #TheDaughterofDoctorMoreau adapts HG Wells story taking direct aim at colonialism and patriarchal society. I like this author, i just always feel like i'm left wanting more. I want revolution! I'm just waiting for the claws to come out

The #LoveofmyAfterlife is a full-blown #romanticcomedy and it's all the better for it. I read this book very quickly- it's predictable, tropey, and a little more than silly but it's a fun time! I think this is the first time I've encountered "and there was only one bed" in an actual book lol.

Have you ever had an author that just didn't click with you? I don't like getting negative with books, I know it's hard writing a story, but Grady Hendrix just doesn't work for me. Not quite DNF material but I probably won't pick up any others. #bookreviews #horror

As someone who loves #BryanLeeOMalley it was interesting going back to one of his first stories. You can definitely see how it would influence #ScottPilgrim and Seconds but it doesn't reach those same heights. Very personal story and extremely early 00's, for better or worse, it's worth checking out

Thank you Justin McElroy for putting the #MurderbotDiaries in front of me. It only took a couple years for me to pick it up but it's so much fun. It won't surprise you that I relate to a lot of robot and alien creatures in #sciencefiction but going through this series has been so good #bookreview

Today you get a double dose of #JeffVandermeer books #HummingbirdSalamander and #APeculiarPeril are two WILDLY different approaches to writing. Both are extremely Jeff, and as always kept me captivated. #bookreview #fantasy #mysterythriller

I've gotten really into the #DarkOlympus books this year. If you like modern retellings of #greekmythology with bit of #romance and danger, this might be the series for you! Each entry feels a little noir to me with just a bit of spice. #bookreviews #neongods #electicidol #hades #persephone

I’ve been posting to TikTok and it’s kind nice using my creative skills for me 🥺 www.tiktok.com/@acryptidcut...

This week we’re focusing on #circuittraining and I am NOT GOOD at it. Cardio and endurance are definitely something I want to work on but at least I get to use the heavy bag 🥊🏋🏽 #powerlifting #gymgay #GymTok #lgbtqia #lgbtqfitness

The theme for today is rural horror! Some of the best scary stories take place in isolated towns/parts of the country where the societal pressures can be just as violent as the supernatural. #CompoundFracture and #WhereDarkness Blooms are great examples of that #horror #bookreviews

Sometimes #YAhorror gives you things like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. And sometimes it doesn’t. The Mary Shelley Club and Cemetery Boys are two books that I wanted to like, and didn’t quite hit the mark for me, but aren’t bad entries into genre itself. #horror #bookreviews

This one is for the #monsterhuggers out there 🐺 I’m sure there are GOOD ones out there, #sacrilege and #bride are proof enough, but like sometimes silly stuff is fun too. #bookreview #romancebook #horror #spicynovels

After many years it was nice to go back to the world of #eragon! while #murtagh didn't hit the way I wanted it to, #TalesFromAlagaesia was a fun way to dive into some slice of life. If you haven't ready Inheritance in a while it may help to do a wiki dive first. #bookreview #fantasynovel #dragons

Time to get beefy again  hopefully these little videos will help motivate me to keep track of my #powerlifting goals 🏋🏽🏳️‍⚧️ #gymgay #musclemommy
