Can't comment on the post. Must be limited. I'll be starting on Quill & Crow's edits of MASQUE within the next few weeks, to be released in 2027, when you can finally enjoy my alt-Victorian gothic pandemic novel inspired by Phantom, Poe's Red Death, Jack the Ripper, and Scream. #HorrorWritersChat

Nothing But The Willows & Other Things That Are Not There

Perception is reality. But how much can you trust with only two eyes? Cracks in the fabric of the universe reveal facets of a prism. Worlds where gods and monsters are real, houses are haunted, and ti...

Q4: #HorrorWritersChat It’s not something I’ve written yet, but I would love to remake Carnival of Souls (1962) to the tune of (using the lyrics to inform the plot) of Hotel California by the Eagles.

Q2: #HorrorWritersChat I am slowly completing a novella about a band writing a haunted song. It fucks up anyone who hears it and they try to keep it under wraps. Except, police, the feds, and reality TV keep trying to control it…

One of several things I was worried about with Doomsday and this Infinity Vision BS was trying to increase ticket prices for smaller theaters. Fortunately my theater is charging the same price as any other showing. 🤷‍♂️ Marvel should have moved. I’m seeing both, but I think Dune holds the weekend.

Even though a lot of Nirvana is being chosen, I want to shout out You Know You’re Right, which reignited my love of grunge when it was released in 2002. It also feels natural that Kurt kind of opened the book on SNL in 1992, and closed it with a final unreleased song ten years later amidst numetal.

I don’t see how this is relevant to governmental communication nor really enforceable? Demanding legal bodies to use Super Nintendo naming mentality seems beyond parody and, like, reasonable grounds to call his mental fitness into question in an enforceable way. Plus 1A and all that…

We’re gonna fire hundreds of people and shut down channels to deliver slop that costs more financially and environmentally than hiring humans and making real art—to “save” money. I believe the Doctor would oppose this with both hearts.

(Even though I’m saying none of my cool friends have shared this song, ergo, it must not be cool, I understand I’m scoring an own-goal here. I recognize why my dad liked the classic rock station now that I’m his age when he was only listening to the classic rock station)

I gave up listening to terrestrial radio years ago when I got a phone that held my entire music library. I can listen for weeks nonstop and never hear the same song twice. I get new music through people sharing or talking about cool tracks. I never heard of this song until it broke the record.

Retroactive impeachments for the likes of Andrew Jackson for Removal, Andrew Johnson for Confederate Amnesty, Woodrow Wilson for rampant racism, even LBJ for Vietnam, and probably many more. We must acknowledge the harms of our past to heal the present and set up a future worth pursuing. IMO.

In my perfect, impossible world, these people, this admin, this party, through decades, through eras, all the way back to the fuckery with the writing of the constitution enshrining slavery and setting up the confederates and allowing imminent domain on native peoples should be litigated.

She’s got a ton of personal and social work to do, but being loudly, obnoxiously antagonistic to the party she used to spin these lies with, at least is a thorn in *their side. Bad people sometimes make points. You don’t have to hand it to ‘em.

After watching that Model Cult doc on HBO, how the guy they talked to the most talking about trying to convince the remaining cult members they’re in a cult—MTG coming hard for the immigrant caravan lie that always gets spun up around elections is someone coming out of the cult and angry about it.

Now I ain’t writin’ movies, but when I’m writing in the past, I try to investigate what and how swears were used, and most of the time, fuck is right there being always perfect. But I swear a lot, so I swear in my writing a lot, and a lot of that, is someone talking to themself using all the swears.
