Truman Show is #1 on my Oh FUCK NO! list of movies.

Just the basic premise makes me skin crawl. There isn't enough NOPE! on the planet when it comes to this film. 😱 😨

Totes. Unless you'd prefer to do the application yourself, that is.

Gotta make sure it's done *right* after all! 😁

If good little queers leave out cookies and milk on Halloween, Joel Schumacher's ghost appears to bring you an overly muscled saxophone player for no particular reason whatsoever.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-No slouching! Drink some water, take your meds.
-Dance break! Take a few minutes today to flail around to a favorite song.
-Bitey Friend was told it’s not kind to eat people’s jack o’ lanterns.

Scary Samhain, @diane.dianeduane.com!

May it supply exactly the right amount of scares for you and not a scrap more.

Congrats!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts once you have finished the entire film.

I hope enjoy it!

She's a great GoH too! Sadly I was still recovering from a horror case of food poisoning the year she was GoH at my local con, so I only got to go for one day.

But I did get to chat with her and her hubby for a little bit, and they were both fun, interesting and lovely. πŸ’–

In a truly just world, neither of them would have been even considered worthy of pre-selection in the first place.

Self-compassion can be a very difficult thing for far too many folks. I know my own AuDHD (and other issues) have made it super hard to manage, though I have been managing some over the last few years.

Viewing something difficult as a gift to your future self seems like an excellent trick!

Parenting has it's ugly side.

The more I hear about it from friends that are parents, the more I feel kinda bad about some of the things I dragged one or more of my parents to when I was just knee-high to a grasshopper. :\

Ahh, yes. Not having any parental experience *would* make rather a lot of a difference.

The Wiki article on the Colombian lesser black tarantula (Xenesthis immanis) is brief but does talk about this and has a link to an 1989 paper.

A quick search for 'spider pet frogs' also brought up multiple articles. It seems to be much more common than expected.

Yes. At least one species of large tarantula keeps and guards small frogs to eat the mites, ants and other much smaller (than the spider) critters that might damage or parasitise their eggs.

I let my Prime subscription expire after barely using it all this year. I have kept my Kindle Unlimited subscription, though, because there are writers who are basically trapped in that scumbag company town and it's not their fault

If they could escape it, they would.
