Tonight I taught myself how to put lighter fluid in a Zippo lighter. Gonna be a real handy skill given I haven’t smoked in decades, but the Guinness lighter we bought in Dublin 26 years ago finally works.

If there are Emmys for Best ASL Interpretation, this guy interpreting “It: Welcome to Derry” needs to be in that conversation.

76th read of 25:
The Shadow Dancers of Brixton Hill by @nicolewillson.bsky.social
A trio are able to make their shadows dance independent of their bodies -and they’re cooking up a plan to leave the mistreatment they’re facing. Bleak and great read

74th read of 25:
The Keeper of the Key by @nicolewillson.bsky.social is a great Bluebeardian YA gothic that made me wish stories like this had been around when I was younger.

I am so fucking proud of both my birth state (NY) and my current state (VA) right now.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Thanks so much, Gabino (and happy Hallowe'en!).

I'd love a share of this post about my queer horror comedy (smalltown influencer horror with spooky woods, cryptids, and a fuckton of queerness!).

It's still October!

Why not try a queer horror comedy that doesn't skimp on any of the three?

A cryptid-hunting skeptic follows a (fake?) video of his presumed-dead mom to a former conversion camp on an isolated island, all while fleeing the "straight" co-host he drunkenly made out with.
