genuinely could not take a nap because I was thinking about the scum in the bottom of the toothbrush cup fml

having OCD is so stupid. what do you mean my mental health and emotional wellbeing depends on me scrubbing obscure items in my house

(I’m traveling today)

Force feeding myself oatmeal at 5:30 in the morning to keep my ancient (32 year old) body from careening off schedule

Sometimes I feel like a big dummy for trying to write about culture, and then the Atlantic publishes a brain dead take that gives me the confidence boost I need to continue blogging

@sgj.bsky.social Stephen Graham Jones will be like let me write a story about a man in a situation after he kills an animal he knows he shouldn’t and I eat it up every single time

Newsweek’s infamous 17 July 1995 cover: “Bisexuality: Not Gay. Not Straight. A New Sexual Identity Emerges.”

A very happy 30th birthday to bisexuality, born this day in 1995 🎂

Scottish Novelist David Sodergren on the Punk Rock Possibilities of Self Publishing The fiercely independent horror author reflects on a lifelong love of horror.

Had a really wonderful conversation with one of my favorite authors, David Sodergren (@paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social) about the incredible freedom of self publishing, Scotland as an underused horror setting, and a lifetime of loving the genre: scare-me.beehiiv.com/p/david-sode...

Humbly requesting a setting for social media apps that plays all inspirational weight loss content backwards. I am proud of all of you but my ED rat brain cannot be trusted

so sorry for your loss ❤️‍🩹 it really helps so much to have a comfort show while grieving

so encouraged by Mamdani’s victory in New York and also appalled that autocorrect and closed captioning cannot seem to spell his name right

my computer is always muted so WHY did it start playing Tron Cat at top volume while Jack is on a work call ☠️

Nothing humbles me faster than trying to do a task that requires spatial reasoning

Jack and I are both so dumb it’s incredible we function in society. We’ve been trying to hang curtains for like 3 hours

the rolling library and access oasis present free queer book fair june 22nd 12-5pm 2410 hoyt ave n astoria

our queer book fair was rained out so we're trying again on Sunday, this time at Access Oasis accessible garden in Astoria!

*hundreds* of free LGBTQIA+ books plus:
free snacks and zines from people's bodega, free button- and patch-making from qns collab, and more. tell yr friends!!

One of the funniest, weirdest, most meta books I’ve read in ages. And a beautiful cover design! What more could you ask for!

Dysphoria and all the surrounding feelings are notoriously difficult to describe clearly, so here is the best metaphor I can come up with for what I want to talk about. Imagine, when you were a kid, that there was an intersection in your neighborhood that you regularly had to walk across, and it was a dangerous endeavor every time: There's no crosswalk, the cars don't respect speed limits, and everyone runs red lights or turns without looking. You did what you could to survive these perilous journeys, but maybe not every kid got to the other side unscathed.

Imagine, then, that years later you passed through your old hometown and found that, since you left, a stylish pedestrian bridge had been built at this intersection. You see a bunch of kids, and they're laughing with each other as they use it to cross safely, not even aware of all the times that you, years ago, just barely missed getting smashed by a car.

I can barely express how gutwrenching it is to steal health care away from trans kids and essentially force them into conversion therapy defector.com/on-bridges?g...

“Pop, she was just here! The little girl—she was in my bedroom!”

This was a really joyful conversation—Joe is a delight and had so many interesting thoughts about the relationship between horror and queer culture, particularly the missing generation of artists we lost to AIDS. There also *might* be a few hints about his next project 👀

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.
