I have no idea how much longer this Kindle sale will last but right now you can grab my Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES for $1.99.

Any signal boosts are much appreciated!

www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J...

This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

As someone whose South Side childhood involved attending Catholic school and Sox games, even though none of that has any bearing on my current life, all of this is giving me giggles on a regular basis 😄

One can hope 🙏

Popped onto Nextdoor trying to find some info; now hoping the gross busybody assholes there don't represent average constituents...
was seeing too much repeating of the regime's "Dems fault; can't have nice things if we don't feed immigrants and trans people to the machine" 🤢

Well, today's the day when SNAP benefits stop. Start the countdown for when a critical mass of Republican congress-critters slam on the proverbial panic button because they don't want to get eviscerated by their constituents.

Being a horror person on Halloween seems like it would be amazing but it's actually kinda like going to your favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant that's always empty and seeing a line out the door. what are you all DOING here

Side note: due to your thoughtful coverage, I almost found myself needing to post a disclaimer while sharing the link to that video, almost the lines of "Excellent video, though it keeps referring to Ledbetter as Leadbelly, which he probably didn't care for"

Much appreciated! I would have spent way too much time deciding how to best acquire it.

Though I'm ambivalent about much of Nirvana's music, I must admit Cobain delivered one of my favorite versions of this classic chilling tune. And the clip of the Tiny Tim version in this episode? Amazing. I need to get a copy of it, deliciously creepy.

I am dino-clown.

Here's a lovely pic of me dressed as a dino-clown. I'm a colorful clown with a large dinosaur head with clown make-up and a tall clown hat. There's a jack-o'-lantern beside me with a small plastic skeleton leaning against it. I'm holding a jack-o'-lantern bucket with a skeleton sitting in it.

I use the "hide post" feature here and that's perfectly fine. A "dislike" button can be weaponized.

SeasonalPun @pixelfish.bsky.social · 2d

UX person here: in a social platform, not a critique based one, the introduction of negative yardsticks beyond what we already express in text and through blocks, would likely start generating chilling effects or inhibiting use. Nobody wants the experience of waking up to 20, 200, 2000 dislikes.

This is Meep, enjoying one of the last days this year when it was nice enough to open the window a bit.

Highly recommend! We don't get trick or treaters in our area, so most years I join my sis-in-law to help with the swarm in her neighborhood (so she actually can find time for things like eating, and peeing!)

Gives me an excuse to dress up, and see all the cute costumes 🥰

Okay apparently the bikes DID get hit with whatever magic their owners were under, since they also turned to crumbling dust 🤷‍♂️🤣

Oh, good point! They may be indestructible now, but the bikes sure as hell wouldn't be

Yeah, I'd say the sound effects agree with your theory!
