I wish I could tell @cyndimac.bsky.social about my awful last two weeks, share our Halloween watch lists, and just generally catch up. Autumn is hard, it was her season, our family camping trip season. I miss her so much.

Is anyone else watching the Highway Horror series on #criterionchannel? I am particularly excited to watch Hitcher, a movie I saw at like 6 years old and never quite forgot but also can't quite remember, all I know is it made an impression.

I’m guest editing the next issue of Agita; send me your weirdest <1000 word stories about weird art. Authors from marginalized backgrounds encouraged and prioritized. No AI bullshit. The weirder the better. agitamag.com/submissions/

Issue 3: Ekphrasis
Between October 17 and November 17, guest editor Zachary Gillan will accept submissions of weird flash fiction that features ekphrasis.
Ekphrasis is the verbal representation of a work of visual art.
Weird fiction is a verbal representation of the world, in order to unsettle it.
We want stories that live at the intersection of the two. Pieces that emphasize the eerie power of weird art, whether fully ekphrastic or embedded within a traditional narrative. How does the weird seep in as reality is doubly estranged from these two layers of representation? Cursed paintings, uncanny statues, haunted mezzotints-send us your stories of weird art.
Publication date: February 1, 2027

📽️Tonight I'm finishing Thief (I am watching it in pieces & then will watch it all at once, feels right somehow), & speaking of a guy who's just one big payday away from quitting, I'm on Breaking Bad's season five death spiral. I'll watch until bed then I will have some ANXIETY dreams.

Listening to Before the Dawn by Kate Bush on vinyl (absolutely gorgeous cover & art design). I used to not listen to Acts III and IV as much as the rest, but I've been missing out. This is gonna be my fall ritual, all the Aerial songs and tea & reading (Moby Dick & H is for Hawk).

Here to tell you that the chemistry and tension in this scene still hits for 2026 teenagers, as evidenced by the very vocal reactions of my students today

Tried 28 Years Later & gave up at the 35 minutes. Felt like a video game. The cutaways to the kills & repetitive jerky camera & rage virus sub-type game-style tutorial beginning was rough. Feel like I'm missing something considering the general reception but had to DNF & that's rare for me.

It's the first cold day in Northwest Arkansas and my funk has lifted, I feel alive, I'm working on my novel draft, my son is old enough to watch spooky things with me, I might make a soup, maybe I'll bake something. The long summer slog is over, thank you nature.

For the last two nights I've been watching the Silence of the Lambs commentary on #thecriterionchannel & this is not new information, but Jodie Foster is very smart. I love hearing Demme talk about his directorial choices. It's gorgeous, those beautiful varied close-ups!

God, old school forensic files is brutal. It's a weirdly comforting watch for me usually, but damn did they not hold back on crime scene photos, and I don't need all that. I just want the guy with a good voice narrating investigations.

delighted to be back in Rejection Letters with my new story “The Funerals” — so grateful to @kevinmkearney.bsky.social for his thoughtful edits, D.T., & any of you who read it in @rejectionlit.bsky.social 🪦 ♡ rejection-letters.com/2026/07/07/t...

Title: The Funerals
Author: Anna Vangala Jones
Image: a narrow alleyway behind a bar with a lit up red neon sign. nearby is a large tree under a gloomy sky.
Excerpt from the story: “For years, they’d all taken bets on who would be next. I tried not to resent anyone who guessed me. ‘We’re sorry, Diya,’ they said as they collected their winnings. ‘Where do you want the funeral?’

It began with Jill. After her divorce was final, she sent us formal invitations that insisted we wear black dresses and heels. At the cemetery, she placed flowers at the base of a tree before saying a few words. She claimed she did it to be funny, but she seemed to take the proceedings pretty seriously. Around the midway point, we went from finding the whole thing annoying to cathartic, finally telling her all our unspoken truths about their doomed trajectory as high school sweethearts turned bitter divorcees. We’ve since paid our respects at a mini-golf place, where Sarah’s first date had gone horribly but she married him anyway, and an old abandoned building, home to the lousy apartment Kavita and her ex had once shared. The last one was a bonfire in which Melanie torched every memory and smiled at the leaping flames. The funerals help us mourn and celebrate these endings. The drinks let us temporarily forget. Merlot at a classy restaurant after Jill’s. Yuengling at a dive bar after Sarah’s. Soju at a karaoke lounge after Kavita’s. Root beer floats at a drive-in movie after Melanie’s.”
