StoryGraph 2025!

People saying Pluribus is boring are blowing my mind. Each episode has my full attention, and goes by in a second. SO GOOD.

Your not-so-friendly reminder that most people using SNAP/food stamps are actively working, or are children, or are disabled (myself included).

Halsey at Hollywood Forever Cemetery? Fucking incredible.

N3 got Walk the Line and Bad At Love. 🖤

Chappell Roan in Pasadena was fucking transcendent.

Happy Spooky Lake month to all who celebrate!

This week I have been trapped in migraine hell, and I’m glad only that all my ticketed / time sensitive plans managed to nestle themselves around the brain fire rather than during it.

I HIGHLY recommend scream singing K-Pop Demon Hunters in a theater with as much of your polycule as you can.

I do not understand how Off With Their Heads by Zoe Hana Mikuta is so criminally underrated.

I’m having a great time. I wish I could meet the characters in this version of Wonderland for the first time again.

I forgot how much of The Walking Dead is watching men argue over stupid nonsense and make the worst decisions, all while pretending anger isn’t an emotion.

I cannot overstate how much I loved this story.

You know that thing where you’re reading and suddenly the story ends because the author hasn’t finished, but the author in question is you and you want to know what happens?

This season of You is a fucking masterpiece.

Wrap around book cover of Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell, featuring Shesheshen cradling Homily on the cover, in front of a bold orangey-red background, while her hair wraps around the sides and back, encircling piles of bones.

We did a book cover assignment for my illustration class, and of course I had to do Someone You Can Build A Nest In by @wiswell.bsky.social
I love Shesheshen and Homily so much, and it was such a pleasure to get to draw them ^-^

Jeff isn’t villainized nearly efuckingnough, in my not so humble opinion. Sure Shauna’s insane but a) who wouldn’t be in her position and 2) Jeff is the one who started the collective survivors’ current bout of psychosis.

So.

March! I’m admittedly in a bit of a slump since Sunrise on the Reaping.

Why does Yellowjackets think I give a fuck about Jeff and his little business deals?

Saw Paris Paloma tonight in LA — fucking amazing and therapeutic and witchy and feminine. SO GOOD.

Sofia Isella popped in to do a song, too, which was a fantastic surprise.

In other news: I’m still SO gay.

Hey FYI, disabled people don’t owe you shit.

Horror is an empathy cultivation tool. Good horror lets us walk alongside characters not like us so we see what we share, then turns up the heat to teach us concern for them. When we sigh with relief at their escape from the horrors, we breathe in hope we all get out alive.

Oh, Children of Blood and Bone is SO good and SO stressful.

k, exactly as obsessed with O’dessa as I’d suspected I’d be. Now to get allllll my humans to watch it.

Do you have a library card?

Do you?

Do
You

Do it

Okay, okay, at least I was right that the cat in Flow doesn’t die.

if you think you’re having a bad day i just want you to remember that haymitch abernathy is having one 10x worse than you can even imagine

I don’t think there was a character I didn’t enjoy, no matter what side they wound up being on. The ending is of the variety where things are wrapped up, but there’s the potential for more (and an incoming sequel) because we’ve barely scratched the surface of this world.

I enjoyed how fluid the magic and supernatural elements in this world are — graspable if you understand certain rules, are willing to make sacrifices, can shift your perspective. Throughout the story are themes of accountability and forgiveness, loyalty and self sacrifice.
