And yet. The song came out 30 years ago and describes a 17-year time difference.

If the Smashing Pumpkins wrote “1979” today, the lyrics would be

“Shakedown…2009.”

*withers into dust*

And now I have Eleanor Rigby in my head. Meh, not the worst thing.

This is a Dropkick Murphys show with an eclectic lineup of openers. I dig most of ‘em.

Reggae blues punk fusion. I’m getting into it. Band called the Aggrolytes. Never heard anything quite like it.

Ok I think thc tincture was somewhat the wrong vibe for this show, but I’m having a good time anyway…not sure why one of these openers is reggae, but they’re *good* reggae, so that’s fine I guess.

Me: gets a knee brace, two Tylenol, an antacid, and earplugs

“Ok I’m ready to go to the punk show!”

It's hard to explain in so few characters lol. You'll just have to read the book. :)

Thanks as always, Mary!

In AWOO, I change vampire lore:

*Any* artifact will cow a vampire - anything in which a *belief* might reside. Crosses, Stars of David, Qurans, Buddhas, even "The God Delusion" by Dawkins. It's the *belief* that matters, not the item itself. #horrorwriterschat

I try to write horror that escapes reality: horror of the weird, the uncanny, the cosmic. The real world is a horror show enough right now - I don't want that in the fiction I read and write to *escape.* Just Nyarlathotep being a Joker god and malls made of rotting meat. #horrorwriterschat

Well, a lot of my werewolf characters are queer in some way or another. My novel AWOO centers around a gay werewolf astronaut who falls in love with a cyborg rock star who is inconveniently abducted by aliens. It's a whole thing. #horrorwriterschat

Tony Todd is a fucking horror legend.

Hi there, I'm E. D. Jones, and I write weird and cosmic horror along with urban fantasy, and sci-fi. Among other things.

Louis & Lestat from AMC's Interview with the Vampire - glorious filth. Maybe not strictly horror, but they're vampires. And of course - Candyman. #horrorwriterschat

No, I didn't watch it. I have no interest in watching a badly plagiarized Hitler speech delivered by a dementia-addled psychopathic rapist while the US Congress applauds.

Stumbled on these guys because that lead singer is the spitting image of Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy, but these guys rock on their own merit. #heavymetal

E. D. Jones (@writesinister) “Rocks fall; everyone dies.” I’m taking a break from “Cold.” I want to focus on other writing stuff, and I have honestly no idea where this thing’s going. And to be frank, very few of you actually ...

Moving away from "Cold," moving on to other things. #writesky #booksky #substack #horrorwriters

Gambit A fun little story about a fumbling meet-cute in a gym.

Just a cute little queer rom-com story I wrote years ago. #booksky #writesky #queerwriters #romanticcomedy #substack

Jack in the Box egg rolls. The ideal late night snack, especially when one is young and chemically compromised.

Excited to run my first Delta Green game as Handler next month for some friends. *Might* be trying to sneak them into Impossible Landscapes through a few intro scenarios before they really know what they’re getting into. And isn’t that, really, what the King would want?

Guess I'll cancel you again after the last episode of The Expelling Bodily Fluids Show...I mean, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Hey, @hbo.bsky.social? The fuck is with these 6 episode seasons? You're just teasing me with sexy hockey boys. Need more sexy hockey boys, dammit. A season is more than 6 episodes. GARGH.

Sam Reich is Nyarlathotep.

Love it when a venue gives you no notice of a rescheduled performer before you drive 2 hours to see that performer.

Community meme: I CAN EXCUSE FASCISM. BUTI DRAW THE LINE AT MERCANTILISM.

The Supreme Court:

Hmm

No, just looked like shit to me. Then in the second ep we get a naked old knight with a horse cock peeing outside. Definitely need those scenes, ffs.

Me: “huh, guess I’ll check out the new Game of Thrones prequel.”

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Enjoy some graphic shitting.

I mean…really??

Reddit screenshot. Post is about being dissatisfied with the book Project Hail Mary. My response is "You are most welcome to your opinion," and it has a -2 rating. Apparently just saying "you're welcome to your opinion" is something to downvote. Huh.
