someone in some dumb video clip referred to walker percy’s lancelot as being in the second person which is a stretch, and then they said that along with bright lights big city they are the only good books written in the second person and now I’m apoplectic

I've been posting some memories and thoughts about A Softer World comics from the archives. It is nice to think back on what they meant, and where they came from. It's nice to visit.

Ballad of a Small Player was watchable. Colin Farrell and especially Fala Chen were good. There was a scene on the waterfront which made me understand and care about their characters with an effortless and surprising gentleness, and I wish the movie had lived up to that.

I've started watching My Brilliant Friend on HBO and it isn't afraid about taking its time. It delivers, but it has a patience and respect for the viewer that I find very refreshing.

This year I wrote a horror novel called UNDEAD HUNGRY GRANDMOTHER BIRTHDAY PARTY. It's a demented and unrepentant splatterpunk love story about a girl and her grandmother.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I wrote some upsetting and funny horror books!
1. SUMMER IS ENDED: Slasher movies always forget summer camps are filled with children.

2. UNDEAD GRANDMOTHER: Family can forgive, but let's make it gross enough so the reader won't!
