So… after receiving an ADHD diagnosis last March, I’ve had my initial autism assessment and … yes. It’s an odd feeling. I feel like I’m back to reframing my life and schemas again. Exhausted

A Mexican teenager has died while in ICE custody in South Florida. Royer Perez-Jimenez died on March 16 at the Glades County Detention Center — a county jail that has long housed immigrant detainees and been the subject of allegations of abuse. According to ICE, Perez “died of a presumed suicide.”

@alexwest.bsky.social dear Mesdames West and Subusatti; am I going mad (again). I showed my sis the wonderful Black Christmas (1974, bien sur) over Saturnalia and I wanted to re-listen to your episode on it. I can’t find it anywhere! Did I Mandela effect you doing an episode ?? #everydaysastruggle 🙏🏻

Reminder from across the pond. The monarchy you overthrew has already stripped everything from a Royal, for having connections with Epstein, while the US with apparently ‘No King’ can’t land a blow on their head of state for emails from a convicted p(a)edophile that include ‘Donald is dirty. . . “

Today marks one year since I've started writing my book. As much as I wanted to write something beautiful to celebrate today, my stressed mind stays uncooperative. So all I'll say is that I've learned and grown much in the past year because of this book, and I love it with all my heart.

#horrorwriterschat Hi, I’m Bean… I write weird fiction and horror, particularly fond of writing period pieces, shorts and flash. (Stop it! Not like that!) I should’ve been born in 1972 so I could re-experience The Amityville Horror, Salem’s Lot, and The Fog again at far too young an age.
