I bet there are goths and horror heads who follow me who aren't aware that my wife @thorazos.bsky.social has the best goth clothing shop on the internet

Yay! Thank you Sean 🥰

Ordered a whole bunch of comics and zines from @thorazos.bsky.social and they do NOT disappoint. The Andor zine (about Syril and Dedra’s relationship) is excellent. Looking forward to reading the rest.

Was the sparrow looking to have sex with the dove? I love a guy who punches above his weight class.

Top five film genres:

The Erotic Bummer (In the Realm of the Senses, Brokeback Mountain)
The Ordeal (Sorcerer, Deliverance)
Transcendental Horror (Hereditary, The Witch)
GoodFellas-as-genre (Casino, Boogie Nights)
"I think this movie is actually evil" (Under the Skin, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre)

How I look reading your posts

(And by “touch,” I mostly mean “arouse,” ofc)

No prize could ever mean more to me than a heartfelt ao3 comment. I don’t want to impress the board of trustees, I just want to touch a kindred spirit.

6. "My Pagan stoner-psych concept LP 'Brutalist Dystopia Doomchurch' was a massive commercial and critical flop but at least everyone agreed the cover photo was fucking brilliant."

Comics is a good mistress but a bad wife

“So there was a time when China wasn’t even in Tibet? Are you serious? So—can we take a vacation to Tibet? Can we go to Tibet? Oh word…”

Overheard on LIRR: “Their own country? What do you mean? China’s doing this right now? The Dalaï Lama can’t go to Tibet? I mean, I guess… Hmmmmmmmm.”

As an amateur Classicist and Latin scholar I guess I would argue that convincing your students that Ancient Rome is interesting is the Latin teacher’s job one

With I, Claudius you need to get over "the sets are cheap, I can see it's a wig, the age makeups a little rough, it was shot on a ViewFinder" etc early. Otherwise you sound like someone attending a Broadway show spending the whole time complaining you know it's not real bc you can see the curtains.

I had a hard time playing Super Mario as a kid. I am told to squash a Goomba. Why? What motivates the Goomba? Why is this creature attacking me? For benefit of whom, Koopa? The ‘Kingdom’? And after getting flattened, where did he go? Hell? For what? Feeding his family (ostensibly)?

Midwifery should be taught in the same course with fencing and boxing, riding and rowing.

Many of life's luxuries can be procured with time and elbow grease if money is not available

Your timeline is a fucking joke. You spent all day searching for posts about the biggest city in the US to c/p your favorite phrase “some town on the east coast” in the replies. Get back in your crib and suck your thumb til you calm down.

Facebook did this by the way. Mark Zuckerberg on-purpose melted our parents' brains for money.

More people than who live in the state of Tennessee. More people than the combined population of Wyoming and West Virginia. This list could go on and on. The Republicans try to use New York City as a bogeyman, but the reality is New York is structurally underrepresented in the senate.

There are more of us than there are of them.

FYI: Julia Gfrörer's book Vision is out of print at the publisher. @thorazos.bsky.social has a whole graphic novel sitting in her store waiting for you to read it. As close as I am to her it still confounded me when I first read it; Lost Highway confounded me the first time too. It's a masterpiece.
