Library assistant. My life is a Southern gothic novel. I used to do history things, but now I mostly talk about horror, books, and whatever impulsive thoughts make it out of my head. Opinions are solely my own.

Once again begging people to end their phone conversations before coming up to check out a book or buy groceries or literally anything else that requires a human to interact with you and ask questions

Thanks to you all, my remote consult for top surgery was a success, and I'm cleared for next steps. Now I need to raise $1000 for a down payment by Dec 14th to get a surgery date. Once again, with your help, I can get one step closer to reclaiming my mountains ⛰️⛰️

Oh man that’s rough! I’m sorry. But the GI side effects can be rough too. I haven’t experienced the absolute worst of them but some days are still pretty gnarly lol

I’m on the shots. I got extremely lucky and had insurance cover it about a year ago. I don’t expect that to be the case the next time I need an authorization. But they’ve been wonderful!

Never thought I’d be looking at a size 12 and thinking “nope that’s too big” again. It’s been over a decade

🎃Batsy Cline (she/her)🎃 @batsinthebrittfry.bsky.social · 9h

Last year I was squeezing into a size 16 and XXL clothing. Today I’m comfortably wearing size medium and 8-10. Flabbergasted to say the least

“How are these not viral at Home Goods?!”

Because people are broke, Kylie. Nobody is shopping at Home Goods.

People didn’t understand Last Voyage of the Demeter as a vampire movie either. I have a theory that the average vampire fan’s only knowledge is From Dusk Till Dawn and 30 Days of Night and they know nothing of the literature, folklore, or symbolism

Bingo

🎃Batsy Cline (she/her)🎃 @batsinthebrittfry.bsky.social · 14h

Vampires are sex. There’s explicit sex in the movie.

Vampirism is often a metaphor for xenophobia and racism. GUESS WHAT A MAIN THEME OF SINNERS IS

“Sinners isn’t a real vampire movie!!”

Ok. Well. Vampires are folklore. Sinners features Indigenous people, Black main characters, & Irish folklore. There’s blood drinking. The inability to enter when not invited. Sunlight death

What is your definition of a real vampire? A white dude in a cape?

Luckily I met my now husband very soon after we broke up lol

I was literally a size 4-6 and my ex-fiancee told me I was fat and ugly. And I believed him! Fucking ridiculous

Every hot girl you know spent the early 2000s being traumatized by some dude in button down business shirts and jeans

That dude went from being cool on Saved By the Bell to being the biggest loser who ever losered

Speaking of podcasts, I’m really tired of hearing Mario Lopez do commercials for DHS talking about human trafficking.

Listening to a podcast discussing medical practices in renaissance England and feeling sympathy pains for dead people. Boiling oil to cauterize wounds 😫
