Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 05/10/2026My neighborhood is home to a population of feral rabbits. This morning a tiny bunny was hopping in front of my car, cavorting back and forth, filled with leaps of energy before the day even began. It was inspiring and beautiful. I hope North Portland's wild bunnies flourish. 060
Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Also Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West is one of the all-time great villain performances and she freaked me the hell out around the same time. 150
Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The bit with the insults is one of my favorite scenes of all time. I get weirdly emotional thinking about how much mileage talented writers and performers can get out of “Hey, folks, I’ve got a big nose!” That’s entertainment! 000

Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Bilppy is like "What if Pee-Wee Herman were evil?" But not like the fun evil of Dracula or Skeletor, more like the realistic, boring evil of a fossil fuel company. 210
Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Gonna wander into the living room while the TVs on and watch 80% of a show while standing ten feet away from the screen with my arms at my side, never sitting once. 010

Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 04/10/2026That moment clarified Capaldi for me. Made me want to be him. I want to be the old guy in the back of the punk club who isn’t cynical, who’s used the years to internalize the values instead of forget them. 062

Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Spent the past two nights at haunted attractions because I’m writing a thing about them. Not going to any haunts tonight. And now I’m kinda sad. I liked the haunts and I want another, different thing to scare me. 340

Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 02/10/2026"Nihongo jouzu!" I said. The Caligari/Frankenstein guy laughed. The lights went out. We were trapped in a labyrinth of darkness with only the sound of rattling chains to guide us. Good times! 050
Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Because I think I'm funny (am I funny? debatable) I replied "Doitsugo zen zen. Nihongo hanasu?" And reader, he switched to Japanese. Just like that. Best jump scare of the night. 140
Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Sarah and I went to a haunted house last night and one of the scare actors was a Caligari/Frankenstein type made scientist who introduced the haunt in German, i.e., the scariest language. "Sprechen sie Deutsch?" he asked with a menacing grin... 150

Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yeah, there were lots of people who followed us or walked with us. It was very effective! Nothing like going along in the dark and some robed figure is just matching pace with you. 020
Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It was a fairly light night. There wasn't a bit push of crowds or anything and we were often the only people in a given stretch of maze. 110

Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Currently imagining the political implications of the end of The Little Mermaid. The Princess of the Sea has married the Prince of the Land. They have sealed a great alliance. The Sky is on the wrong side of a three-way diplomatic split and is in a substantially weaker geopolitical position. 191
Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Not entirely sure the scare actor dressed up as an angler fish monster appreciated us briefly stopping to admire their costume and say stuff like “That’s a really cool mask,” and “I like how it lights up.” Love a good, unconventional, weird monster though! 151
Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Extremely impressed at how some of the most impressive scares were just people in dark robes and scary masks looming dramatically in just the right way. 140
Joe Streckert @joestreckert.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Had a good time last night! @korybing.bsky.social said “I could tell when Joe was scared because he started skipping” I was skipping and grinning through much of the maze. I love this stuff! 230
