Stumbled across this dope scarf from a local-to-Portland-Maine maker, whose print is inspired by the cover of BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES 1932. Reasonably convinced I can't pull it off... but maybe you can. headingprints.com/collections/...

Imagine you and your family becoming the unwitting enemies of a QAnon-style viral cult convinced you're about to trigger the apocalypse. That's the premise of Edgar winner @alisongaylin.bsky.social's riveting new novel, WE ARE WATCHING, which drops today. I freakin' loved it. Maybe you will too.

Dead End is a movie so up my alley, I'm shocked I hadn't heard of it before @niidasholm.bsky.social found it on Prime. A campy, charming, Lynch-indebted indie horror romp that punches above its weight. The trailer gives you a decent sense of what you're in for. If you dig it, we'd be friends.
