Writing a holiday letter this year but I don't want it to come off like I'm just bragging about my kids so I plan to include one absolutely devasting criticism of each of them.

"The Skeleton Dance, a five-minute Disney short from 1929, contains everything I look for in a horror movie today: it's weird, old, uncanny, and unselfconsciously terrifying." - @summerblocklizer.bsky.social www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2016/03/28/d...

I love Edward Gorey’s theory of art: “Art…is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”

Just remembering Halloween 2019 when one of our neighbors gave the children plastic baggies filled with loose grapes and unwrapped, unsweetened baking chocolate.
