Finally binged AHS: NYC. It's not as bad as everyone has said. But seeing it once was enough. Not a lot of Horror, just framed AIDS as a literal horror film and integrated serial killing. Some interesting choices and very emotional. Far from the best season but introspective.

Carlyle is home from the veterinary hospital, but recovering takes time. He's not out of the woods yet, but we're hopeful about his chances.

I've started a fundraiser to help with his considerable current medical bills. Please donate and share if you are able.

Yeah but I have an excuse. I've had carpal and cubital surgery on both arms over the course of the past two months. Trying to baby your arms while you sleep does not make sleeping well.

It was. I really enjoyed it. And I was right it reminded me of what I think "the substance" will be like (cuz I haven't seen it yet but will soon) and mixed with "the stuff." Definitely very ooey gooey body horror.

My 16yo Ziggy kitty is on her 2nd round of hyperthyroidism. She was tired of her special wet food. So with the dry food from Chewy, we got #Halloween toys (that Molly instantly claimed). But Ziggy is happy with her dry food and the box. #CatsSky #CatSky

Mary VanKoegel @maryvk.bsky.social · 4d

Sweet fuzzy baby. Ziggy kitty got new food today cause she didn't want her Hills wet food anymore. Molly took all the Halloween toys, so Ziggy claimed the box.

#nowwatching "body melt" (1993). 112/100. 316/365.

As referred by Shotzi on Busted Open , this sounds kind of like "The Substance." She described it as "ooey gooey," and i do love a good Aussie indie horror.

We just watched a Treehouse of Horror: The 600th episode. I remember when they did the full Marathon that year. I watched it all the way through. This is about the third rewatch of Treehouse of horrors for me this year
