Tim Curry was a 20-something stage actor living in London in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s when he auditioned for a new B-movie musical called “The Rocky Horror Show.” In a new interview, Curry discusses the cult classic, David Bowie, Studio 54, and more. http://nyer.cm/Z9RkgrI

Oh yeah, I have a short story about this very scenario (well, trying to prevent it from happening). The research was both fun and horrifying?? Mostly horrifying actually. Less fun.

Today is National Coming Out Day!

It's also Freedom to Read Day, aka the last day of Banned Books Week.

This feels right — because the main reason they try to ban books is to keep people from dreaming they could ever come out.

My Sticker Guy order for #Halloween 2025 just arrived

Lots of fun designs to choose from (we pick random freebies to add to book orders)

These will go up in the shop shortly. Really happy with how they all turned out, especially the David Lynch quote (very last image - scroll down)

A square sticker of black vinyl. Printed in green are the words Abduction Zone - please wait your turn. An alien spaceship shoots a beam to the earth below and a small silhouette of a human levitates toward its aperture. At the very bottom in smaller lettering is the URL Patreon.com/Haunted

I lived on McCommas two decades ago. I paid for a hotel room on the other side of town for St Patrick's.

I waited a long time for an order at a place on Lower Greenville. Management was rude, so I had to fight off the urge to take over the piano and play "Masochism Tango."

There's a restaurant I picked up at called Feng Shui. I'm sure their food is good but the name was picked for trolling as it's surrounded by the worst feng shui in one of Dallas' extreme urban areas.

You might believe some of the parking atrocities I've seen since I've started gig delivery. It's bad.

Dallas used to be a collection of suburbs surrounding downtown. It's now a collection of walkable neighbors surrounding downtown. Everyone behaves and reacts as if there were still room for cars.

Circumstances sent me driving through downtown yesterday after rush hour. It was already bad and that understates it. I'm tempted to stay home today and deliver hangover cures tomorrow to those who are willing to pay well for the privilege.

What middle and upper class cis het white people need to understand is that they only have as many rights as the most vulnerable do. You have only the rights trans people and immigrants do.

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 2d

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 4d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
