“I’m interested in the vampire as a sex symbol who exists on the edge of creepy and thirst trap.”

If you read Vampires at Sea, or would consider reading a horror-comedy about emotional vampires on a queer cruise, these drink recipes are for you. The Lilitu mocktail is my favorite. Cheers!

A loss to his family, sure. But not a loss to our country or our culture. He was a vile person.

I don’t mourn evil. I grieve the violence and hatred, but the loss of a fascist is not a loss.

Enjoying this read so much. @thelincoln.bsky.social is hilarious!
