discontent yet hopeful
Started this one today. I’ve never read Malfi’s short work. Only his novella and novel length stuff.

That first story though.
Whew.
Damn.

Kind hungry now.

I miss monster trucks.
I really wish someone would take me to monster trucks.

Doc says he’s impressed with the way my hand is healing. I’m impressed I haven’t given up and let this become a disability.

Cheers to hard work when everything feels impossible.

… sigh … guess I’ll start posting over here. That other platform is getting boring.

Just upgraded (by force) to a new iPhone. 17, specifically. I didn’t have much of a choice as it was this or pay $460 to buy my iPhone 14.

Hoping to make some short horror films to justify the upgrade.

Standing in Starbucks waiting on my daughter’s order. Can’t help people watching. I love the human experience.

Still mulling over Gone to See the River Man. I loved the first 3rd and then lost interest when the sibling abuse started.

I have a difficult time respecting work that uses sexual violence or incest as a plot device.

I’ll still grab the sequel to see how this Lovecraft-esque story resolves, tho.

Not mad about being in the car for a few hours when the young one is blasting Chappel Roan and some guy called Malcolm Todd - who she insists will be her husband, so I should get used to him now, apparently.

DC cancelling the Red Hood run because GFM spoke out negatively about the Kirk shooting is insane news.

Losing @savagemouse.bsky.social is not something I expected this year. She was a lovely and wonderful woman. May she rest in peace.

It’s quite beautiful that Rue Morgue Magazine dedicated issue 225 to Adam Lopez and Nancy Kilpatrick.

A lovely gesture I’m sure means a lot to the northern horror community. They were both so nice to chat with.

It’s a beautiful and sunny election day. Remember to vote, but stay ungovernable.

This was recently quoted in the epigraph of Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book Careless People, an incredible read that will open your eyes to the inner workings of Facebook and Meta and how the affect global social issues. Well worth checking out.
“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

I blocked the word Trump from my feed and now it’s almost 100% about writing and books. 🤔

Looks like the Legend himself doesn’t keep up on this side of the tracks, so maybe there will be info to be gleaned?

Remains to be seen…

Family Day weekend. Snowed in, for the better part, and playing video games with the best partner in crime.
