Whether you like his movies or not I don’t think you don’t need to go out of your way to mispronounce or misspell M. Night Shyamalan’s name

Being #psychic and also having dyscalculia means I’ll get all the lotto numbers but they will be in the wrong order #BlackHorror #BlackSky #Spirituality

Okay well my dad’s ghost lives in this locket & he said you have a brain for a reason & you should use that instead. He never had a cell phone or learned to use a computer. He is AI’s final boss. Don’t make me let him out. #AI #BlackSky #WriterSky

Apparently, I now get thunderstorm-induced migraines 🫠 I HAVE LIVED IN NEW ORLEANS FOR LIKE 90% OF MY LIFE. WHY IS THIS STARTING NOW?!? This feels anti-Black. JFC 🤦🏽‍♀️ #ChronicIllness #Fibromyalgia #NewOrleans

My newest horror collection, Clairviolence: Tales of Tarot and Torment, releases in October with @tenebrouspress.bsky.social, but you can snag an ARC at the upcoming @stokercon_official next month! Happy to connect with ARC readers and those whose fancy is any of the topics discussed here. 💋

Book promo image featuring the ARC cover of Clairviolence by Mo Moshaty, surrounded by handwritten genre themes like body horror, possession, alien invasion, and generational curses. Background of dark green foliage.

Text-heavy promotional image with a poetic description of Clairviolence: Tales of Tarot and Torment, exploring themes of despair, terror, and the supernatural as they relate to tarot, identity, and unraveling lives.

Love this for us #Louisiana

If you liked “Sinners,” I’d love for you to read my post on Black Horrific! And please let me know what you think about the film! #SinnersMovie #BlackHorror #HorrorSky

Gambit article here: www.nola.com/gambit/news/...

Living on the street in New Orleans could be effectively banned under new bill

Living on the street or in other public spaces would become illegal in almost any situation under a new bill authored by New Orleans Democratic Rep. Alonzo Knox.

www.nola.com

Black Horrific @blackhorrific.bsky.social · Apr 27

All this despite Knox’s website saying “Alonzo’s commitment to service began with family, when Alonzo grew up in a small shotgun with a big extended family who served each other.to [sic] pool limited resources and increase their quality of life.”

This bill is hypocritical and downright evil.

Black Horrific @blackhorrific.bsky.social · Apr 27

Gambit, cont.: “Knox’s bill, House Bill 619, would also give private citizens and businesses like his Backatown Coffee shop the ability to compel the city to enforce the law.”

Black Horrific @blackhorrific.bsky.social · Apr 27

This is disappointing and absolutely disgusting. From the Gambit: “Living on the street or in other public spaces would be banned in almost any situation under a new bill authored by New Orleans Democratic Rep. Alonzo Knox [owner of Backatown Coffee].” #NewOrleans #Local #CommunityCare

Y’all I swear, I get the best ideas for my scary stories when I’m falling asleep 🔪Usually around 1:00 or so 2:00 in the morning. Must be the sleep demons helping me with my writing career. #HorrorSky #BlackHorror

They have the capacity to show “Sinners” how it was shot, and it’s guaranteed to be an amazing experience. (Plus they have the best popcorn of any movie theater anywhere 💅🏽)

The Prytania Theatre in #NewOrleans is over 100 years old and is the longest continiously operated theatre in the South and one of the last single-screen theaters out there! It’s also my personal happy place 🍿

If your white child is bored at a protest, and that’s their biggest problem, you need to teach them about their #privilege. If we’re expected to handle this burden so early, the least you can do is be honest about the history of this country and why you’re out there in the first place. #USHistory

Black Horrific @blackhorrific.bsky.social · Apr 8

Black kids have always had to learn early that we’re different from white kids our age. We were taught to be careful at such a young age because our parents and ancestors had to learn these lessons the hard way. #BlackHistory
