My cousin organized a series of masked concerts in NYC so immunocompromised and other covid-conscious folks can still enjoy live music events, and is raising funds so he can keep doing so! Love and appreciation to anyone able to chip in 🙏🏾♥️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/pos...

I'm having a day where my body has mandated "be flat". All of my cats are snoring in solidarity and this is very funny to me.

Way too many people are responding to this saying that it would involve paying musk money, when the option of seizing all his assets after prosecuting him for fraud and election interference and his many many other alleged and sometimes almost seemingly admitted crimes is like… right there.

Right. I don't say anything. I'm just checkin what's up. And I wouldn't if folks were anywhere else. But twitter will run on a tin can on a string and that matters.

It is crawling with disinformation so you've got to be ... wary of strangers, I guess, but if you know who's talking, you get a good starting point. It's not fun like it was tho, at least not in the anglosphere.

We used to call those press pizzas. Now that you mention it, I suspect it wasn't a widespread name but a way to avoid that one.

I've noticed it. For one of my own communities, it's a massive benefit that twitter will run under extremely adverse conditions and on any phone. Here, and mastadon for that matter, that's not true at all. People have to use what works.

Sadly, MRM also owns and has been steadily torching the credibility of les grandes dames Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine (AHMM) and Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (EQMM). If you write short stories, this thread is an excellent primer on your rights wrt magazine publication. #WritingCommunity

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

This is my favorite cover for an Amazon edition of the medieval chanson de geste La Chanson de Roland.
Cover for an e-book of The Song of Roland in which Roland is apparently a bearded, possibly Pacific northwest hipster strumming a guitar in the hills near a river.

Not trying to get on the relevant feed here but LC symptoms we noticed early: brain fog. And I feel like people don't really understand it til it happens to them. It's not being flaky, it's whole CONCEPTS are missing from your brain. Sleep disruption. Nightmares.

I just accept that Hill House original recipe and Hill House Netflix are fundamentally not the same story. Both worthwhile tho. But I guess I don't get where he's going with this.

(Some of you didn't know me back then. But I danced with Miss Rona in the 2019 holidays, and AGAIN in February of 2020. We didn't know what we were dealing with at all, that it's not something you defeat once.)

When Mo woke in the apartment she didn't know how she got there or what was going on but she remembered Wendy. That's weird. So either Wendy was also him, or carrying him and mo got reinfected with a different variant of him. #FolkHorrorFriday

When Lyle was like "so this demonologist lady..." and Mo was like "Forget it..." that was the right answer. "You can't kill a bad idea" no but you can think about other things. And you can hope. #FolkHorrorFriday

Ok so I'm about to make it worse. Making it worse now. She shouldn't have talked to Wendy. It doesn't make sense she knew Wendy. And it doesn't make sense Wendy's house was quiet. #FolkHorrorFriday

It does feel like that and it's hard to hold on to what's really going on when you're so out of step with everyone else. Like reality is broken. #FolkHorrorFriday

I'm way behind y'all now. I'm really... relieved, I guess, is the right word, to see this movie. The plague shredded my life, everything is rearranged now, and the world is all "get over it." But getting through is not the same thing as shoving in the memory hole. #FolkHorrorFriday

It bore no resemblance to original hill house and I'd argue should not have tried to cLl utself an adaptation but I loved it. So chilling in spots but I was rooting for everybody.

Yeah I think you're right. It feels more like "I thought I'd do something different but still want the name recognition" and less "I think the original book or movie is fundamentally wrong about human nature in this way..." which would have my attention.
