now that I'm getting back into the habit of submitting my writing, I also have to get back out of the habit of checking my submissions page way too often to see if anything changed to in-progress

I don’t want to sound glib, but if a woman actually wanted to “make up a crime to ruin a man’s reputation,” they’d pick one that people actually give a shit about, like hurting a dog or something.

I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

The single most rewarding choice I have ever made is to start replying with "ok buddy" instead of arguing with unhinged people online.

Saw Brandi at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte recently, and the request portion of the show was so incredibly fun and unlike any other concert experience I've had. Very excited for this tour! share.google/pOn5IKIdaXMw...

"I don't want to happen but it probably will" is classic abuser language: "look what you made me do." Except it's not on the scale of a household, but of a nation of 90 million and millennia of civilization.....

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Do y'all ever think about how Rowling's "not my daughter, you b*tch" line is just a barely rephrased version of the most iconic line from Aliens? Because I think about it a lot.

I think nearly the entire Horror genre boils down to the idea that it is worthwhile to fight until your very last breath. Even, and maybe especially, when there is no hope.

2025 horror reads so far: -THE UNMOTHERS: Loved all the lyrical moments in this book. Slow-burn cult horror; if it was a movie, Mike Flanagan would direct. -THE ONCE YELLOW HOUSE: Deeply weird (complimentary!) & I needed that. -ROUGE: thrilling, beautiful, & devastating. I would die for Hud Hudson.

Something I have long yearned for is a horror movie (or, ideally, a vampire tv series!) that uses blue gel for blood like they do in maxi pad commercials. I think it would fix me.
