I’m so very proud of my bestie @mbmcandrews.bsky.social being in Variety's Horror Impact Report! 😍

Text reads:

Editor-in-chief, Dread Central
A filmmaker, author and critic, McAndrews’ Dread Central is a go-to website for horror fans. There, she has sought to expand the content and writing pool to “provide a platform for underrepresented voices not just in film, but in horror journalism” with a spotlight on minority voices in the genre. She also co-hosts the “Scarred for Life” podcast and has run fundraisers with the site’s “Horror Is Political” merchandise to raise money for such organizations as the Trevor Project.

I am constantly proud to know @mbmcandrews.bsky.social, one of my personal inspirations for keeping it going despite the horrors, and I’m honored to have a small home at the site for a column I care deeply for (soon to return). This is incredibly cool for MB and @dreadcentral.bsky.social both!

So, I had to unexpectedly drop $1600 on a major plumbing repair today. Whee!

Kinda really changes the whole vibe of Spider-Man swinging around NYC, doesn't it?

Mary Beth McAndrews @mbmcandrews.bsky.social · 13d

Hey so today I learned that spiders essentially have dick hands. The males cum from a set of shorter legs and insert it into what the internet tells me is called “the female’s genital pore”.

You’re welcome!

OK correction: they cum on a web and then pick it up to uh finish the deed?
