Today the toddler told a butterfly that it was her best friend, so those are the kind of good vibes I'm getting hit with on the daily.

Sometimes when someone is wrong you can just say hey, that's wrong, for this reason. And then sometimes the enormity of the many little ways society has failed them overwhelms you like a rat swarm and all you can do is feel sorry it happened and scream.

I made the mistake of reading a Goodreads review of Seven Steeples earlier and it made me so annoyed, because it's really just emblematic of a wider problem of people trying to "fact-check" fiction.

Are You Afraid of the Dark: Tale of the Dead Man's Float scared me so badly as a child that I got nervous in swimming pools for YEARS afterwards.

I will say, I also just have an irrational, personal dislike of Stoker outside of his work. I don't care for the man. Probably because he was a monarchist.

Dracula hiding out under the name Marx in Germany, in a film made during the cold war. That's kino.

The toddler, who has lived in Germany her whole life, who goes to a German language only kindergarten, upon hearing someone speak German to her: What is that talking?

It's actively insanity inducing to be a survivor and a feminist right now because in the face of the sheer ubiquity of sexual assault and the lack of consequences for it, we're all being besieged by demands that we think of the rapist men, forgive the rapist men, cleanse the souls of the rapist men

5yo at the playground is trying to dig to the earth's core and keeps telling me German jokes that I do not get. Every few seconds a bashful "Um...ich kenne noch ein Witz."

I don't think Kazem can get online much, which makes gathering support much harder. A worthy cause if you can spare anything. ❤️🙏🍉

Kicked off the month with The Devil Rides Out (1968). I will likely set up a Letterboxd account or something for these moving forward, but suffice to say, not amazing. Christopher Lee and Charles Grey both give performances undeserving of the material, thank God for them (it is He we should thank)

The toddler is looking for a little toy patient that came with her toy hospital set, and is running around the flat telling "DEAD PERSON, WHERE ARE YOUUUU?'

BodyPunk 2 features what is maybe my favourite short story I have written to date. I'm not saying you HAVE to preorder. But y'know. Might be worth your while. As an aside, I have three books currently out with Filthy Loot and I love this press. Long may it reign.

I just put all the (previously released) anthologies on the Filthy Loot website for $8 (each) for our 8th anniversary. I say previously released because I also just put up the preorders for two new ones, BodyPunk 2 and Fucked Up Stories 3! Here's to eight more years! 😫

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

The Automaton. Charcoal and 2B pencil on paper.

Charcoal drawing in thick stylised lines and shaded shadows of the head of a bald humanoid being, implacable face, eyes unseen in dark bleeding shadows. Something is dripping in thin lines from its mouth, silvery in graphite pencil.

The toddler, when speaking English, keeps putting her adjectives after her nouns. Proving definitively that Irish has the most sensible grammar.

Kazem hasn't had any help in a while now. It's so frustrating and heartbreaking to see him suffer so much when it literally doesn't need to be like that. He can't control what goes on around him, but we can help lighten his load through generous acts of kindness. Please share and donate if you can.

One of the Erzieherinnen were telling me that the toddler speaks in a mixture of English and German. Recently, the kids had to do autumnal paintings and these were displayed with quotes from the artists taken while working. This was the toddler's.

A post-it on a child's painting which reads "I want mehr Gelb"

Yesterday in the Innenhof. The leaves were dead but the flowers were in bloom.

A rose bush stretching against a sun-dappled wall. Its leaves are brown, its flowers pink.
