In 2025 I started keeping track of my media in my planner. At each month’s end, I’d share those pages in my Stories, which sparked convos & recs from pals. It was a really fun hybrid of analog and digital record-keeping, and I’m excited to continue in 2026!

Here are my year-end totals and faves.
A page for my planner tallying 2025’s media with stickers, washi tape and different color markers. 163 movies. Top 3: Superman, Sinners, The Ugly Stepsister 45 TV shows. Top 3: Severance, A Man on the Inside, The Summer I Turned Pretty 81 books. Top 3: King Sorrow, The Bright Sword, The Bewitching

Spent some time in Boston and NYC for Christmas, and cherished every minute.

It’s been 5 years since I last popped by @certifiedforgot.bsky.social, but @donatobomb.bsky.social @monagle.bsky.social made it feel like 5 mins. Grateful these guys let me gab about my gateway horror/fever dream The Peanut Butter Solution. Real movie btw!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Don't listen to my face here - I had the BEST TIME hollerin' about Hellraiser with my @escapehatchpod.bsky.social besties, @haitch.bsky.social and @goldman.blue. These fellas are so welcoming to me even when I'm being a loudmouth.

Join us in the further regions of experience: solo.to/escapehatch
A screencap of a recent Escape Hatch episode video chat. I'm in the top window, white curtain behind me, looking DEEPLY skeptical for reasons that will be revealed if you listen to the ep. Matt Herrero is in the middle, a nice kitchen behind him, looking patient. Jason Goldman's in the bottom window, bookshelves behind him, with a shit-eating grin on his face. We're all wearing glasses.

In my final recap (sob!) of the Friday Night Lights Rewatch Project for @foreveryoungadult.bsky.social, it's VERY fitting that there's a Lavon Hayes-George Tucker reunion since I'm such a huge Hart of Dixie diehard.

We landed in Germany four years ago today! We were so very overwhelmed 😆 Moving to a continent where we knew no one and nothing has been strange and stressful but also rad, thrilling, beautiful, mind-expanding. I’d change it for nothing.

AND what's cool about the Single Issue Publications, or bookazines, is that you can pre-order them online OR find them in newsstands, bookstores, grocery stores, drugstores and airports. I'm very excited to have a publication with my name on it at my mecca/mothership, HEB.

Werewolf Superman & Vampire Lois Lane, of course! At last, a costume that unites my love of Superman, monsters, and good journalism.

I'm thrilled to lead this project, but we also have a phenomenal cast of contributors adding to the compendium's wealth of knowledge. It's a big undertaking, especially bc, along with the book, we're releasing a robust, indexed, searchable digital archive of the magazine's entire original run.

It’s been a year since we lost Zelda. Two since we lost Miri. I still pet the air where they should be, talk to them, feel them around me. Today I will walk with them.
A foxy mutt and a husky mutt on a porch. The fox (Zelda) is standing and smiling at the camera. The husky (Miri) is reclined, eyes closed, face peacefully turned upwards. I miss them and this is exactly how I remember them both.

Extremely proud to help represent @fangoria.bsky.social at Variety's inaugural Hollywood & Horror event last night. So many good buds doing good things in this space and I'm always happy to pop by.

I’m always like “woof, I dunno, I don’t think LA’s for me” then I go and have the most perfect night possible here.

Spent the last day at the Horror Show walking to Telluride Cemetery with some of my favorite horror writers. No place like that fest on earth.
