That's what I was basing it on too - commentary. Nuts!

What a whacky way to end a football game. Ol dude was absolutely a sore loser - and has a history of it.

Well, I'm fucking psyched for this! Interview with a vampire was horny and great; this will be hornier!
I only read a few Anne Rice books, but The Vampire Lestat was my favorite. It was so thorough and intense; a rich, selfish, wounded glutton. This actor really gets it.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Finally binged AHS: NYC. It's not as bad as everyone has said. But seeing it once was enough. Not a lot of Horror, just framed AIDS as a literal horror film and integrated serial killing. Some interesting choices and very emotional. Far from the best season but introspective.

Carlyle is home from the veterinary hospital, but recovering takes time. He's not out of the woods yet, but we're hopeful about his chances.

I've started a fundraiser to help with his considerable current medical bills. Please donate and share if you are able.

Yeah but I have an excuse. I've had carpal and cubital surgery on both arms over the course of the past two months. Trying to baby your arms while you sleep does not make sleeping well.

It was. I really enjoyed it. And I was right it reminded me of what I think "the substance" will be like (cuz I haven't seen it yet but will soon) and mixed with "the stuff." Definitely very ooey gooey body horror.
