Catching up on @thehorrorchick.bsky.social and this essay on APRIL'S FOOL reminded me of going to a 24-hour horror fest, figuring this was the one to take a nap on and instead it's an absolute blast with one of the best endings ever. from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/one-and-done...

Making this music vid reunited me with lifelong friend - and brilliant doc filmmaker @kevinfordmedia.bsky.social - We’ve been making movies together since we were little kids. There’s nothing quite like the feeling & comfort of making stuff with someone you’ve known forever. ❤️

🎃 blayne 🎃 @ewhag.com · 21d

hi 🖤 i'm blayne (they/she/any)

my first collection of poetry, BITE BACK, is out october 9. it's about reclaiming yourself in a world that wants you to self-destruct, and alchemizing past abuse.

it's gory and queer and dark and filthy. you'll love it.

pre-order here: bookshop.org/p/books/bite...

Absolutely exhausted tonight (worked on two book projects after work last night & my brain has been dragging all day) but I get to see NEW NIGHTMARE on the big screen soon for the 1st time ever & nothing is going to stop me from this. ❤️💚🦖
