I love my cafecito con demònios. ☕️🇵🇷
If you have family visiting over the next month, be sure to gently remind them that there will be a risk to around $500+ in plumbing repairs if kitchen/plate scraps are shoved into a disposal or sink drain. Root vegetables, rice, & banana peels are the most common destroyers.

Compost it if you can!

I honestly feel like the paranormal side of the community is scared/silenced/tone policed by skeptics, but like...

Who here would like me to share some paranormal experiences I've had?

I worked at the Wayne Memorial Drive Waffle House location in Goldsboro, NC for a few years and, I will say this:

There are two things North Carolinians do NOT play about:

🔥 Biscuits and gravy
🔥 Their community of people

Opening my feed today to see them fighting back made me so happy. 🧊

As someone who grew up wanting to have tea parties with the monsters/creatures my grandmother told me about, here's what I've learned about horror:

It thrives on our attention - if it didn't, jumpscares would be ineffective.

It is fueled by our expectation - if it wasn't...

Cool. ☕️ 🔥

Today is the Trans Day of Rememberance.

We are still losing so many innocent souls to murder and suicide. Sadly, in this climate of genocidal hostility cultivated by public figures and governments alike, it isn't surprising.

We must fight back. For the fallen. And for those still with us. #TDOR

Managing schedules for anything creative/professional/professionally creative will always have bumps and mishaps. The amount of unpredictable things that will gum up the Gears Of Deadlines ™️ are WAY out of any control of the average person so don't be like me.

I wrote an episode of the Mayfair Watchers Society podcast. It's called RED CHURCH, and it's available for you to listen to now, on most podcast / music apps.

I hope you check it out, and if you do, I hope you enioy. Thanks!!

I read the first chapter of Carmilla on Instagram Live tonight and I loved it even though I didn't get through it without fumbling several words and telling stories that had nothing to do with the book because I was SO nervous. But...I had fun. 🖤
