I was watching some interview clips from the cast of Scream and there’s a more recent one with Matthew Lillard where they talk and watch clips of one of his old red carpet interviews and it gets to a point where heβ€˜s fixated/can’t stop critiquing how weird he was acting/dressed in that clip hehe

Shout out to @ivygrimes.bsky.social for a truly phenomenal piece of writing with The Cellar Below the Cellar, creating a soft Southern Gothic apocalypse digging its fingers into the raw, rich dirt of life.

A fairy tale for our fallen age, with teeth & heart to spare & great depths below the surface

Terrestrial by Suzy Eynon - Independent Book Review TERRESTRIAL by Suzy Eynon (Malarkey Books) is a psychologically rich portrait of a teenage girl suspended between the rituals of 1990s girlhood and the otherworldly possibilities that beckon her.

Excited to see that Independent Book Review reviewed Terrestrial 🌡 @malarkeybooks.bsky.social

Unrelated: At like 19 I had a crush on a guy who wore a hoodie with a piece of duct tape on it and when you asked him why the duct tape he said β€œit’s a conversation starter” and then quit talking and walked away.

I think the unspoken policy of wearing a blanket like a hoodie over one’s head during Teams meetings is unspoken because it’s meant to be broken. It would be a great conversation starter, for one.

Basking in Glory At the booths, I’m unable to decide whether to enter II or III. I wonder if there is an expectation as to which side of a glory hole belongs to the giver and which to the receiver. I wonder if it w…

"Basking in Glory" by @danielmiller.bsky.social is a day in the life of an adult video store employee. With a mysterious encounter, online gambling at Insect Sport World, & the last active Glory Hole in Howard County, it has the makings of a literary classic!

It’s all very funny until she grabs your head with claws out

Me: up in a castle tower screaming and groaning behind a closed door
Husband: Please children. Do not go up there, whatsoever you do. halt your ingress. It will only serve to remind her of the hour she lost
Kids: But daddy, the cats
H: The cats are exempt. They are free to torment her day and night

Omg Neko Case’s Fox Confessor Brings the Flood is 20. I have memories of sitting in a Barnes and Noble doing my homework and jamming to this magical thing when in college. Listened to it soOo many times over the years 😭

A book cover for The Walls are Closing in on us by Joshua Trent Brown. A very dark green snake coiled up that appears to be floating above a black and white image of ravine. A horizontal rip splits the image just above the halfway point with a blurb by Austin Ross, author of Gloria Patri. The quote says β€œβ€¦a book that examines not only the soul of a man butβ€”perhapsβ€”the soul of a nation.”
