We’re so humbled by the kindness of friends, family, and even strangers this week. Our son has a complex, degenerative condition, and caring for him has become harder than ever.

Times are tough for so many, which makes every donation and kind word mean the world. Thank you ❤️

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

Reminds me of when I still collected comics and had to get all the variant covers.

Love how they continue to infantilize this 22-year-old woman. She scares the shit out of them, doesn't she?

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

YouTube tutorials and some beginners books on chords. She went to stay with my sister’s family for a week and they’re all musicians so she got a few free piano & guitar lessons. As soon as she came back she’s been hooked!

Ohhh I didn’t know that. Agreed, it would be sadder if he wasn’t so awful.

The house is filled with magic thanks to our daughter learning keyboard and playing Ocarina of Time songs.❤️

We usually stick to the first 10-12 seasons, so this just blows my mind.

From 2020, when I had some time and energy to do little sketches.

Hey y'all - sharing again as I'm really proud of the work I'm doing here & just trying to promote my writing however I can. I'm pretty good at promoting everything else but myself these days. All subs are appreciated but the paid subs will help me keep this going (plus we have a big vet visit soon).

Heatherface Wixson @thehorrorchick.bsky.social · Aug 28

Hey y'all - so everything has now been set up on Ghost officially. I'm sending an email to all current subscribers soon about what the happs are. And for those who would like to sub, I have paid & free tiers: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io (you can even tip too instead! LOL)

It’s probably long Covid but admitting that would betray their grift so sure, let’s go with “someone has put a hex on us”

I first saw him in Legion and he really stood out to me. I love his voice? 🤷‍♀️

My forthcoming book about one of history's most delayed albums has once again been delayed. Funny, right? Anyway, on Dec 4th you be able to purchase and read MAGNUM OPUS: THE UNBELIEVABLE 15 YEAR SAGA OF GUNS N' ROSES' CHINESE DEMOCRACY and if it gets delayed again I will jump off an oil tanker!

Hot take: I should be able to sell one of my kidneys. It's MY kidney!

Apropos of nothing… here’s our GoFundMe for our boy. We're *this* close to getting a life-changing wheelchair accessible vehicle. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

When I realize I put Raisin Bran instead of Raisin Bran Crunch in our grocery order and it's too late to change it.

My mom used to say, “Only scream if there’s an emergency. Do NOT scream outside just because you’re having fun.” She was a nervous wreck like me.

The neighbor kids never got that memo. Their favorite game, Bloodcurdling Shriek, is often played right outside my office window.
