most people on instagram seem to get it, except for the reporter who DM'd me asking if it was a joke. facebook is about 50/50 people who get it and people who are absolutely fucking pissed. Threads is like 97% people want to kill me about this.

PLEASE READ: Yesterday someone who no longer works for this company shared a meme on this page with the caption "Fuck Christopher Columbus." Many, many people who have never followed our account before nor shopped at our store were offended by this post. If fact, you could say they were quite triggered. We *did* approve this post, but only because we were told it was directed at Chris Columbus, the director of MRS. DOUBTFIRE (1993). If you were personally hurt by our ex-employee's poor judgment, please forgive us, and let us know how we can make it up to you.

since we keep getting this question, hope this helps clear some things up
So the employee was fired for a comment that "upset" people who have no idea who you guys are or what you do? Strange choice. Don't give in to the bully culture because I assure you you didn't gain anything and lost an employee, because the snowflakes that whine still aren't going to be customers. Be careful.

in yes they were terminated immediately without any
severance. it's kind of sad since this means they will also lose their insurance, which is very bad timing as their child was just diagnosed with a horrific disease. but what choice did we have 1m Like Reply

Hey folks, this Wednesday the 15th, I'm the guest on @scaresshapedus.bsky.social podcast. I chatted with @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social about my novel debut THE SMALL HOURS and LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH, a formative film for me that I saw at a way too young age.

I’m going to keep harping on this book until everybody I know has a copy, I swear to god. I already gave a copy to a student because she was complaining about the lack of “people like [her]” in fiction and I’m like, Oh man just wait

Man, “Cop Car,” the first novella in Nadia Bulkin’s new collection, ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY, is such a banger. Her novellas always surprise me with their depth of character. And little tendrils of thematic connection reaching out between the stories—self mutilation, possession, resistance to authority

Hell yeah re: ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY: "This collection dabbles in the paranoia and abuses of power happening in our everyday lives. Bulkin takes the dial of these concepts and turns it up to the max." 🎚️

Wrote out some Postcards to Voters while listening to music and now I’m settling down to finish reading the ferociously great collection Issues with Authority by @nadiabulkin.bsky.social

Thoroughly enjoyed @nadiabulkin.bsky.social's "She Said Destroy" - efficient, merciless, and savagely alive, Bulkin's anthology dishes out short spec horror whose shadows will linger. Looking forward to picking up "Issues with Authority"

This movie really stuck with me as a kid and I've been recommending it to lots of friends lately. It's about a night in LA with an incoming nuke on the way.
