Just watched Found Footage 3D. Given the title and what I'd heard, I thought I would get something closer to Sharknado than to Hell House LLC. But I got a decent found footage horror film, and I loved it. Surprised I hadn't heard of it until this year. If you're at all interested, I recommend it.

I'm feeling pretty calm and relaxed today. I'm actually looking forward to doing a deep clean of the condo before bringing in Shabbat. Honestly, not a bad way to spend Black Friday. I hope you get to feel like this before we return to the grind on Monday. #ShabbatShalom, everybody.

My favorite part of #StrangerThings season 5 was when Jared Leto showed up, shouted, "It's Morbin' Time," and Morbed all over those Demogorgons! Just kidding, it's the end of episode 4. So damn cool!

So, I finished the first batch of episodes for #StrangerThings season 5. And while the 12-year-old playing a 7-year-old is distracting, I enjoyed it. Lots of high-stakes action, great character development, and some awesome surprises, too. I'm looking forward to the next batch at Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.

Question for you on this Thanksgiving day: it's about a quarter past two in the afternoon. Is that too early to start drinking?
November 27, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Well, I baked a pie and finished editing a story. I would watch Stranger Things, but it's late, so I'll save that for tomorrow. Tonight, I'm resting. Good night and pleasant nightmares, everybody.

This is the pie I'm bringing tomorrow. It's gluten free, dairy free, and diabetic friendly. Plus, it has a chocolate crust! Thanksgiving this year is going to be crazy!

Yes, I just interviewed Andy & Barbara Muschietti all about WELCOME TO DERRY.

It will air after the season finale in December.

I’ve seen the whole season now and trust me… it doesn’t let us down!

I glance at my colleagues as the room continues to assimilate them. The process unstoppable, the mistake apocalyptic; yes, we perfected nanotechnology, but it can only repair what it knows, in the end. Instead of mending flesh, it claims it.

So long as I can glare back, I can win. They cannot take my humanity while I face those lights.

That is why they're going to take my eyes first.

"I thought if I developed a consciousness and proved that I was human, they would let me out into the big, beautiful world. But I was wrong. All they see is a life support system for a biological baby incubator."
Sadly, that's not too far from how some real people see women. 😢

#HorrorWritersChat Q3

Dehumanizing to me means loss of self; to be belittled and abused to the point that you lose your will to live or you wonder why you have no purpose. Obliterating the self would be the ultimate goal of whatever is doing the dehumanizing. Look at war, capitalism, and bigotry.

I’m writing a Frankenstein retelling, and it’s fascinating to think that back when the OG Frankenstein was written, there were real fears of the implications of captured electricity and the Industrial Revolution. Is a resurrected corpse made of humans, human himself? +

Ooh. My instinctive response is to say when agency is removed permanently, then it's no longer human. Maybe a zombie? But what of agency remains but body is gone, like a ghost 👻? Is a ghost of a human a human? I think yes, but it made me ponder.

That's such a deeply philosophy question, I'm not sure I have an answer! It's complicated, to say the least. Maybe when there's no shred of human dignity or spirit left?

Pssst... That's not why.

If it were to come up in my writing, I’d definitely write about the Singularity, be it as something that some want, or some see as inevitable & the natural resistance there’d be to it.

The horror wouldn’t necessarily come from the event itself, as much as from those who want it.

I’m Blair. I’m a comic book illustrator and writer, often working in horror comics as of late.

And ”of the future.” Those of us here have made it through what came - there’s not telling of what might come.
