Renewed a few books at the library and said “if I can’t renew I’d like to place a hold” and the clerk said “based on the titles I don’t think anyone else wants these” :/

Being a teenager is hard. Being fat, poor, and queer makes it harder. Being all that and also a werewolf just fucking sucks — but it did win first in The Olive Branch Review’s Hunger category! olivebranchreview.com/2025/10/15/o...

two panels of a Nancy comic by Ernie Bushmiller. Nancy sees a NOTICE board and then blacks out the T with a pencil so the board reads NO ICE. Nancy smiles.

💜Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves because revenge feels fucking awesome and you're gonna be like "wow, that was really great! let's do more revenge!" so you'll need the 2, it's like pringles: once you pop you can't stop

unfortunately I just came up with a sick as fuck dnd character so now I have to cajole every single person I know until either we have another table or I drive all my friends away. Only time will tell which.

HBO has a bunch of silent movie shorts that have no text cards for dialogue, it’s all just gesture, and it’s fun because my cat is also watching them and there are really no barriers for her to understand them — she’s having the same experience I am.

seeing Gaetz’s Venmo notes forces me to envision an FBI agent sliding me a piece of paper listing mine, except they all read shit like “petition to make Nic Cage’s legs longer” and “the well scene from Hausu happened to me in ‘04” and they’re all for $7 coffees

It’s really pretty cool that one thing you can do to support people you like is ask your local library to get their book because it doesn’t cost you anything, it helps them, and the librarian gets to know someone actually wants to read a book and not just use the computer for Roblox

Every story out of the US right now is like: "Sources say Jimmy 'Coal Baron' Ashton to be named head of the EPA, he says he'll be stepping down from Baby Seal Clubbers International but remain Board Chair of the Climate Change is a Chinese Hoax PAC... but Trump insiders worry, is he too liberal?"

obsessed w how horror-movie coded this photo a friend took on the way to a protest is
A scratchy Polaroid of three people sitting on a stoop, one holding a “ceasefire now” sign. Their faces are blurry and indistinct, they are outside on a sunny day yet the lighting is bad.

so interesting the fear that some buckaroos have over letting their art into the world because it is 'not perfect'. first of all it never will be. second of all the dirt and mess and truth are not problems we learn to get over and accept, they are literally what makes art great

Enough about “emerging writers” — we're looking for retreating writers. Descending writers. Stagnant writers. Bog body writers. We’re looking for writers who share traits with anglerfish. #writingcommunity #horrorwriting #paranormal #litmag
