Sometimes the hardest part isn't standing up for yourself, it's believing you deserve better in the first place.

What fictional creature/villain traumatized you as a child?

I didn't even see the movie until I was an adult, but as a kid this poster absolutely terrified me.

If you're interested to read it, I just posted a new short story. (Only ~13 mins. long.) I wanted to do something like the 80s horror movies I love. However, when I read it, it doesn't feel like an 80's horror movie. (shrugs) Take a trip to the Nevada desert in '79. I hope you enjoy it.

Also, I was molested at 5 years old. It's all gross but I still see a difference between a 5-year-old and a 17-year-old

Just let me be happy that Metal Church is back. I know Ellefson is problematic but at least they have a decent bass player again.
I won't get into my other thoughts on the matter because they're way too complicated. Just let me have this though

I am tired of trying to lose weight, I'm tired of wearing makeup (stopped that years ago) tired of trying to look good for anybody. I just want to fucking exist with no judgment

Is it me? Am I weird? When I text or message somebody that I haven't heard from in a while, and I asked how are you? And then go on to say something, and they acknowledge what I said but never say how they're doing or what's going on with them, it feels kind of.. one-sided 😕

New Helloween, new Testament, and now new Metal Church. And all good (so far). This hellscape of a year has at least brought me a few blessings

I haven't even listened yet, just still kind of in shock. But happy they got Ken Mary 🎉

Today seems as good a day as any to “release” the Epstein Files song. Sorry, couldn’t help myself 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lyrics by yours truly, based on “Edelweiss” by Rogers & Hammerstein (with apologies to “The Sound of Music”)

PS. Gizmo is not impressed
