For. REAL.

Found a new aquarium shop around the corner. Owner's fb features a multipage screed about how they just CANNA SURVIVE without using AI in ads, and "we checked our records and nobody complaining about the AI art has spent money in our store, thus, suck it" or whatever. Correct, I won't. Fuck off.

See, I'm willing to watch Martyrs again sometime. Re: Sauna: it's been so long that I can't remember anything about it other than "waking nightmare; once was enough," so, grain of salt.

I really like "Parents" but I can absolutely see how your experience made appreciating it impossible. That happened to me with a movie called "How I Live Now," which I thought was going to be a cute teen comfort romp and WAS NOT AT ALL.

Antichrist. Sauna (2008.) Hard agree on Kids and RFAD.

This is what we had for trash dinner tonight, in fact.

Is there a technology the left is excited about?" It's called the clamshell e-reader from It Follows, and I've been waiting for it since 2014

Same but swap Howard Goldsmith's "The Whispering Sea" for Chris Claremont.

The wainscotting and panelling draw nearer, but nobody seems to mind, and when she points it out, they tell her it is not so, and was not so.

Twenty Years Later: Paranoia Agent Anime Series I cannot speak more highly of this show. It came together under the same harrowing pressure it used as a catalyst in its story and came out smiling after the strike of the bat. Despite the chaotic circumstances under which the episodes were assembled, everything—the art, the script, the voice acting, the perfectly unnerving OP and equally unsettling ED—managed to come together to give the world a real good look at itself.

You're a dishrag wandering the desert and yelling at stuff.

I'm so sorry. I subbed to her mag around 1996 and she sent me a 2 page single-spaced letter just like yours, very cruel and very personal. I thought it was normal and that I deserved to be screamed at and berated for wasting her time. It did damage that persists to this day.

I don't think Kevin can F**k Himself applies here (no spies, for one thing, plus probably other reasons) but I'll promptly go rewatch right this minute just in case.

Looks like the spine of a book with the title "every day we plant trees".

It's actually a box of vaguely eco-friendly cotton buds.

I've got so used to horror novel titles in first person plural that I assumed "Every Day We Plant Trees' was sparse-prosed gruesome biome-collapse ecohorror.

They are dancing. B&W photo of four feet. Two human, two feline. on the left, the bare feet of a woman up on the balls of her feet. On the right, a white cat up on its hind legs. Its tail curves up as it balances. The image crops the woman above the knees and the cat below the shoulders

8 different editions of The Haunting of Hill House

And this gives me the opportunity to post my collection of Hill House editions :) 💙📚🩸

When I'm EXTREMELY FURIOUS I get extra-super-intensely into running/repairing machines and right now it's sewing machines. And sergers, which have needles AND knives.

So sick of AI chat and "productivity" discourse especially now, when we need art with teeth and claws and raw edges.

So send me your weird little projects, your self-published odd books, your cool scuzzy zines, your quick and dirty games. I wanna see them all. Gimme 👇

I'm so jealous! Scallops are forever my favorite even when not-quite-right.

Did you buy "dry scallops," which haven't been soaked/treated? They're the ones that sear the best. Others are going to drop so much moisture that they steam and get tough no matter what you do. They cost an everloving fortune. Your method was right, though. Dry further, season, screaming hot pan.

This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The book is resting on grass and there are white petals strewn about on the grass and on the cover. The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?

My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle and Bookshop. I have no idea how long this sale will last.

Sorry You Live Here (2025) | Bonnaroo Disaster Documentary YouTube video by Big Stupid Horse

I watched this delightful documentary/well-edited vlog and vicariously went on a shitty vacation with a trio of funny women. Highly recommended. I legit want a physical media copy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynVL...

Lawlessness is a hallmark of fascism. The law and the rule of law are an agreement we make between each other to be ruled by something other than violence and the inane egotistical urges of a dictator.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

The fact that conservative movements have dollars slushing around with random ancient billionaires has made them think that's the only way social movements are funded. Genuinely do not realise that this is not normal or how solidarity works.
Pathetic.

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end.

I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.

They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.
