#nowwatching The House on Haunted Hill on @Shudder and #thelastdrivein. I’ve seen this movie several times and I never tire of Vincent Price in it. Dry wit, cutting sarcasm, and a smile to charm the devil. #mutantfam #horror

okay, now this is uncanny. I was reading a 1959 Screenland article about Tuesday Weld just this afternoon, saw this movie mentioned, and thought: hmmm. . . wonder what that was about? And here it is in my feed a few hours later. 😕
Sometimes, when people use "we" to try to rope me into shared blame for the fall of the US republic, I think of this movie, or at least the poster text.

Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, 2023. It’s a dark and rainy day in Portland, Oregon, and I felt the need for some color in my life. I think this fits the bill. #Photography #Architecture #Interior #Paris #France 📷

Lesson learned #1: When I moved to #freelancewriting, I knew it would take time to build a profile and solid income. What I did not anticipate is how much I would hate writing for corporate clients. My sense is that a lot of "little Eichmanns" like to push writers around, w/ no end to the demands.

Normalize slow writers with seasonal depression and full-time jobs. Like, 500 words is a good day for me and I will not be made to feel bad about it 😂
