the best part of being a guest speaker at the hs horror writing workshop was when the kids asked if we *actually* thought The Blair Witch Project was real-- I took great joy in explaining to them that there was a fake TV special that fully warped my reality lmao

I was the guest speaker for a class of horror writing high schoolers yesterday and it was surreal! My biggest takeaways were that they hate AI with a passion (based) and will shower you with finger claps (nice)

I probably keep it too light on social media (we can talk dystopian shop off-mic) and there are so many more pressing things to post about...but we DO all understand what the WB purchase means for our only culturally and politically important industry, right? bye, bye Western cinema 💔

when I tell folks I get paid to write, I think it's important to include that I also have to work full-time at a grocery store for health insurance 'Merican artists need to stop fibbing when it comes to the harsh reality of this world, even if it makes you sound less cool

totallyyyyy-- if there's no Ice Queen Bride of Frankenstein sequel in the next three years, I'll be excited to revisit this and just pretend that the ship lifting isn't a dealbreaker

it feels like the Marvel movie hating homies have fallen for an MCU entry in a Frankenstein's clothing lmao I agree that the production design RIPS, but, like, so does Black Panther's or whatever still a bloodless, sexless, superhero origin story!

there's always one guy that incessantly talks to you about becoming a writer, and he will never read your book

it's going to get harder for creatives to survive, so when you're fighting, remember this: we cannot let rich kids make all the art

i used to be super self conscious about my inability to focus on anything but entertainment news or creative efforts...suppose I STILL feel that way, but it's awful nice to get paid for it

starting a new non-fic writing gig this week! once I get through the research jitters, it'll be real swell to flex some more of my *useless* pop-media knowledge

there's a beautiful neo-folk track on the latest AFI record, and it might be my new favorite AFI song because I love guilt-free neo-folk

no woman should ever be held responsible for the crimes of men...however, I saw six fellas dressed as three different Jokers for Halloween 2025 and ALL of them appeared to have partners please do not fuck a Joker, we can fix this

I got two tickets to a fancy weed dinner but realized I don't know ANY other stoners! Maybe I'll just eat both portions and completely lose my mind at a public restaurant.

GDT's NIGHTMARE ALLEY is streaming in b&w right now; it still (somehow) needs another half hour in the last chapter to fully work, but this version is undoubtedly the best way to see it
