Given that it’s spooky season, I started watching horror movies (well, I’m never not doing that at this point, but for the sake of the seo or whatever I’m supposed to worship lately…) The Bride! was a gorgeous, wonderful mess! So fucking good and weird. #filmsky

Jessie Buckley as The Bride!, hanging out the window of a car she’s driving, shouting with triumph and joy!

She’s wearing a black and white fur wrap and a black net over her wild white and blonde hair. It looks like she has a black eye on the left and she has a black stain on her mouth from something they used to bring her back to life. The car is black and they are driving down a country road.

Settling in for an evening of reading… if I can retrieve my book 😬 #caturday #dogsofbluessky 📚💙

In the foreground, there is a black and white cat laying on a pile of books on a bed. He seems unlikely to move, very studious. There is a blonde pooch in the background. She is rocking an underbite and a long suffering expression: “Reading is sooooo boring 🫤🙄.”

I finally got ahold of VenCo by Cherie Dimaline a couple of nights ago and keep trying to sneak in reading time, despite previous obligations. These are the witches I’ve been looking for ✨ 💙📚

Well I don’t know about you but I certainly wept through half of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and left feeling exhausted but giddy, on the lookout for mine own Little Death…

Two women embracing standing up, in what looks like a sunrise or sunset in the snowy conifer woods but the snowy conifer woods are clearly a painted background. They both have big, poofy jackets on. The sky is a lovely color of orange, with a tinge of blood orange on top. The text reads, “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” and the “Sex” “and Death” are in overlapping hearts, shot through with an arrow.

Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson sit together as Kris and Billy, watching the first Camp Miasma movie being projected from behind them. They are completely caught up in whatever’s on screen. Kris is wearing a comfy sweater and loose jeans. Billy is in gorgeous high femme, with full makeup, a turban, and a 40s style grey and black dress with shoulder pads.

Little Death is ready to go on a rampage. He’s in a loose-fitting, slightly see-through plastic onesie, holding a gnarly looking two-sided spear at the ready. His head is an old school camera lense.

!!! Clearing out my storage this morning, I came across Percival Everett’s book Half an Inch of Water! It’s a collection of loosely connected short stories about some folks living in the Western US. A beloved book I’d totally forgotten about, lol. Anyway, it’s wonderful.

The cover of Half and Inch of Water by Percival Everett. The image is the grey-green outline of a cowboy on a bucking horse. The background is a kind of rainbow of orange, salmon, and olive green.

Becoming Baba Yaga by Kris Spisak. I’m not that far in, but it has some lovely bits. It’s the format of Women Who Run With the Wolves but only Baba Yaga stories, from ancient history to present day.

The book “Becoming Baba Yaga: Trickster, Feminist, and Witch of the Woods” by Kris Spisak. The cover image is of an olive-skinned woman, her auburn hair blowing in the wind. There is a house walking on chicken feet in the background. The weather is stormy.

I love wandering the stacks of the library, where I’ll pull out random titles that catch my eye. Today’s find is Padoskoks: a Jacob Neptune Murder Mystery by Joseph Bruchac, who I primarily know as an author of children’s books?!? The red and yellow spine and the font got me. I’m simple person. 💙📚

This is a book with red on the tops half of the cover, except “Joseph Bruchac Padoskoks,” which is written in yellow. On the yellow bottom half, there is a criptid-looking creature drawn in red, with horns on its head and spikes down its back. “A Jacob Neptune Murder Mystery” is written across the bottom in red.

Have you read any of his not horror books? They are also cosmic strange and wonderful-weird.

Illustration from the Stephen Gammell book, Is That You, Winter? in which there is a snowy, treacherously mountainous scene. A rickety looking house is on top of one jutting peak and a rickety looking truck appears to have jumped from a cliff to a jutting peak attached to the first by a tiiiiiiiiny, precarious bridge.

I frequently have no idea why I put books on hold at the library by the time I pick them up (or get them on Libby), and Spoilt Milk by Avery Curran is no exception. Half a chapter in, I think it’s because it’s a lesbian pulp throwback and I am SO IN!

A hard-back library book called Spoiled Milk by Avery Curran. The cover is a picture of white-seeming girl-seeming students with cute bobs, looking excited about something off-screen to the right. The left half is lavender color being covered by red blood dripping from the right half.

Thank you for the inspiration! I hope you get a woodchuck! I actually managed an in-focus shot of this bug this morning. (See that tiny dot on the end of my fingernail? lol) No idea what it is yet…

Extremely cute, tiny mystery bug on the end of a dark green painted fingernail. The bug has delicate, spotted wings, like crepe paper. The background of the picture is shaded desert landscape, under a mesquite tree, but it’s very blurry because the tiny bug is actually in focus!

Omgeeeee I wonder if this dopey looking buddy knows Serendipity??

The cover of a 70s children’s book. A very cute, hot pink sea serpent with a chartreuse ridge of spikes or feathers from head to tail. The text on top reads: “A Serendipity book,” then “Serendipity, written by Bill Cosgrove, illustrated by Robin James.” Along the bottom, it says, “The moral of this story is: knowing who you really are will bring you happiness.”

Wtf is this The point is to pour the right combination of lava and water into this woman to… keep the treasure intact? Inside of her throat? So the tiny many can be released into her open mouth and get the treasure out? Ok. I gotta go to bed.

An ad for a game on Popular Mechanics, picturing a woman laying on her back with and open mouth and jewels in her throat. There is lava, water, and a little man in a contraption above her. Presumably the little man has to get the jewels.

1. Bette Davis by Barbara Leaming, In Praise of Floods by James C. Scott, Lote by Shola Von Reinhold, and It Came From the Closet, ed. Joe Vallese (a re-read) 2. Er… next one? All Our Relations by Winona Duke and Little Rot by Akwaeke Emezi for sure. 3. Favorite? Spread Me by Sarah Gailey

Three books: Lote by Shola Von Reinhold (the cover is kind of pearlescent/satiny pink with an image of a tear drop glass tchotchke with a peacock inside), It Came From the Closet ed. Joe Vallese (the cover art is a creepy rainbow behind a headstone and a pink, swishy hand coming out of the grave), and Little Rot by Akwaeke Emezi (cover art bright orange with chartreuse text. Maroon and purple grey smudgy blobs are all over it.)

This is Octavio. He’s obsessed with backpacks. He believes a sniff has not been properly snuffed until the subject has gone IN to his nostril, at least a little bit. #caturday #backpacks #sniffs

The same fluffy black and white cat laying on the same backpack. This time, he’s looking off into the distance, presumably contemplating sniffs. Or backpacks.

There is a forced feeling romantic side plot that takes us away from these Grand Dames more than I would like, though it is a break from the uncomfortable tension between them.

Latest #Hagsploitation watch: Whatever Happened to Aunt Alice? (1969) “Whatever makes her garden grow… wouldn’t you like to know?” Geraldine Page plays Claire Marrable always slightly off, Ruth Gordon as Mrs. Alice Dimmock takes no guff.

Movie poster. The text is the title: What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice, in white. There is an image of a feminine, white face mostly buried, one blue eye looking out at us. She has what might be blood or dirt running in rivulets down her right cheek. A white masculine person is in the background, standing in a menacing way, holding a knife, and a house is on fire off to the left.

Both movies lag a bit but the effects (all from Mechte Mavstrechu) are incredible.

A Dream Come True (Mechte Mavstrechu, 1963) on the other hand, ends in triumph, the cosmonauts returning with their version of the alien, who they have saved. “They came to [earth] with open hearts,” despite the concerns of the head scientist.

2/3 A crowd of white people stands in a plaza surrounded by grey, brutalist buildings. They are all facing the camera, behind which a screen displays Cosmonaut Ivan Batalov as he continues his announcement, “…a daughter of the far star, saved by your kindness and bravery.”

3/3 A giant screen displays a grayish white woman with alien head gear on looking out at the crowd in the plaza as Cosmonaut Ivan Batalov continues his announcement, “She is with us, and breathes the Earth air, though [she] was born under a different son.”

This one ends with earth maybe being taken over by the Queen’s alien offspring that the astronauts hand over to the authorities who will “take all necessary precautions” with them. (In the movie, they pulsate.)

They do a really cool thing with her eyes when she’s mesmerizing the astronauts, though.

Someone will trim it back into submission soon. This is civilization. To force nature into proscribed shapes deemed beneficial for society or whatever, instead of supporting the tree to become the best cypress it can be, in an ecological system that it contributes to and receives resources from.
