Playing charades with Tiny and @frank212.bsky.social and somehow the category we all guessed right was Tiny's idea of "tissue boxes in this house."

As soon as someone says "contemporary horror bores me" I immediately tune them out. If you're experiencing media from a place of disdain it doesn't make you the litmus test, it makes you an insufferable twat. <bounces happily into a pile of leaves>

Sometimes I think about some douchey party my ex brought me too full of aging frat guys and one pulled out Mike's Hard Lemonade and I said oh i see the drink of sexual predators everywhere and no one said a damn thing while I hit my whiskey

LOLOLOL not Cornell coming on scene acting like the f**kin victim now. That university should shutdown for good. No admin involved in that revolting decision should be employable anywhere in academia.

I think it embodies the demon which was my goal. I immediately became aspirational. And it was not but that woulda been funnier!

I misheard a my little pony line and heard Raging Cheese Demon and started shrieking cheese names and this is why children lose patience with us isn't it

Well…that was one heck of a ride! Through darkness and caves full of monsters. And answers. And…maybe a little bit of finding peace with the past and hope for a future. And this is why I DON’T GO IN CAVES AND TINY LITTLE TUNNELS. THE LONG LOW WHISTLE by @laurelhightower.bsky.social

Y'all, I've been reading BOUND IN FLESH from @ghoulish.bsky.social edited by @lormaggot.ca and it is so fucking good? Not a bad story in the batch. I slept on this way too long but I'm glad I finally delved in.

Listen to Crossroads by @laurelhightower.bsky.social yesterday and come on guys! Please stop wreaking me with your words. I’m emotionally fragile right now. This was tragically beautiful and a punch in the gut. I think today I need to just listen to uplifting pop anthems to recover.
