My 9-yo and I wrote the cover story for Interzone #303, and we've created this handy synopsis using legos. Pictured: shark wearing a mech suit made of pirate shipwrecks, attacking a surfer on a chainsaw board. Oh, it gets weirder.

If we're doing Favorite Weird Horror stories, there are a lot but I'm awful fond of Milk Teeth by @noirbettie.bsky.social

I regret to say that I did indeed used to think Theo was a nice boy

I realize this reflects poorly on me

in my defense it also reflects poorly on God’s Cruel Joke, which literally publishes stuff like this all the time

truly shameful

Sasha's review of Goodnight Moon 5/5: Margaret Wise Brown's nihilistic classic is a howling renunciation of God, here depicted as a "quiet old lady whispering 'hush'." There is no afterlife here, no reward, no release from the crushi...

I learned everything from you, Jon!

Conveniently, this is free to read online: www.oldmoonpublishing.com/pain-wins

it is not a ghost story, though, I feel compelled to say. It's something else.

Caleb Motherfuckin Bethea's badass new book, held in front of a disco ball with a...what's that plant called? I don't remember. A plant. Tradescantia! That's what that is! Zebra tradescantia.

OH SHIT Y'ALL
GUESS WHAT I GOT IN THE MAIL

(seen here bonding joining the disco community with my homemade disco ball plant hanger)

is fuckin terrific. I think it's weird horror? At no point does anything I expect happen, almost even on a word-to-word level.

glowing flaming skull rawr (also a lava lamp)

look at this glowing flaming skull we found on the Everything is Free group omg

Our 9-yo "purchased" it with two week's worth of poker chips earned by keeping his room clean

so friggin metal

We're watching Frozen for the first time since the pandemic, when we watched it about a thousand times with our then-toddler, and wow does it make me feel weird. Pandemic vibes, this sort of wistful lonely deal.

so good job continuing to set the standard for being some COOL guy

HA we were just talking about this in a Discord - there was a new pub with no masthead and we were saying this:

just a massive bunch of hydrangeas this is like a funeral amount of flowers

my wife thinks this is a bit much but the dog is fine with it

I CLEANED THE FUCK OUT OF THE GARAAAAAAAGE

Very pink! Dahlias & phlox, mostly. They're just in a jar - I'm doing the rustic "oh, these old things? Just random flowers" thing today.

Here's what I got outta my garden today
