sweet dreams and sci-fi sunsets

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

I always feel a bit weird reading stuff by/about millennials and younger-- it's like it's relatable and I don't really like that? It feels like having a mirror held up to the worst parts of me, the parts that feel stunted, ineffectual, self-absorbed. The mortifying ordeal of being known etc. etc.

Current read. Upstate New York millennial academia cosmic horror? It's real weird so far. I'm enjoying it.

Why was this my first thought

Nosferatu was excellent! Very pretty, very spooky. A lot of writhing. Maximum Drama. I can only imagine how insufferable I would've been if it had come out when I was a teenager/young adult.

pay trans writers. publish trans writers. read trans writers.

if nothing else, I can watch Nosferatu tonight. life in this country is a waking nightmare but by god I'm gonna see bill skarsgard's fake vampire dong

Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government – The White House By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 7301 of title 5, United

So...the gender Executive Order is out. I am going to do a little thread as a trans person who thinks about law/gender a lot.

tl;dr Take care of yourself, this sucks (but we've seen it already), we can learn from others, choose an action.

Reminder: The Crypt Keeper released his own Christmas album back in 1994. Tracks included "Should Old Cadavers Be Forgot" and "We Wish You'd Bury the Misses."

another day making control 2. everyone keeps asking me if they can kiss ahti. buddy, they won't even let ME kiss him.

PLEASE

If i was the richest guy in the world i would just do stuff like give the decemberists 100 million dollars to write a concept album about the hardy boys

I highly recommend Who's Lila?

Age yourself with your first computer!

The Speak & Spell sound effects live in my head forever, but I'll go with this one. Played a lot of Hangman on this bad boy.

Some tips for people new to Bluesky:
-every time we write "skeet," the cosmic behemoth slumbering in in the moon is satiated for another moment and the apocalypse is averted for a bit longer
-the pretzels are for everyone
-if you find yourself in the room without windows or doors, play the pan flute

No amount of respect for this level of majesty is too much!

I often find bleak cosmic horror comforting because it reminds me how insignificant my little human problems are, but I don't know how common that is.

spineless transphobes & their gross comments have inspired me to once again share this very cool project we announced last week ghoulish.rip/now-consider...

I refuse to join Bluesky — I don't want to become part of an Ecco chamber

Gonna try using this again.

Finished The Lost Village and really enjoyed it. Eerie and atmospheric. It's about a creepy abandoned village but it's also a lot about women and mental illness, which is a heavy topic that easily can become exploitative in this genre but it's done fairly well.

I just sneezed and for a second sincerely expected Cecil to say "bless you." I need to get out more. Or get a cat with better manners.

Episode 4 of House of Usher has no business being as simultaneously funny and horrifying as it is.

Gonna just... let Cecil get away with jumping on the counters for a little while. Just in case.
