No blog post today, just because I injured myself in the best way (on stage) and operating tech is hard.

Next week, I will be sharing my experience on the open stage with Drag Supreme at the East Room.

Splint pic for tax. At least my nails look good.

Crossroad Demon was a win!

Sometimes, you have to dress as a crow and go dance around a fire for funsies.

One more week, friends. One more week. My headspace is just shattered from all the hate going on.

Next week? My early review of Hollow Knight Silksong.

Have disgruntled kitty in a new hidey space, as a treat.

The world is feeling a bit rough right now, and my brain has, effectively, shit the bed on what to write for this week. Instead, I am going to remember to be kind to myself and curl up with this pretty kitty.

This week has entirely gotten away from me. Why is mundane life so... Mundane?

I'll be back next week with a review of Chuck Tingle's newest novel, Lucky Day!

In the meantime - window kitty!

The world sucks right now.

Pet thread for a little pick-me-up?

It isn't a bad thing to grieve what has come before. The fact is that I do feel so much better now that I am able to just be myself. But, I need just a bit more time. Thank you for bearing with me. I will be back with my recommendations as soon as my mental health allows.
Enjoy this majestic floof.

Hi everyone!

I am currently working on moving, so the blog will be on hiatus until June 1st.

Medusa finally made their debut at Mother Loving Books yesterday!

This week has been hectic, so my review of Blue Prince will be up next week.

Mostly hectic because I have been playing Blue Prince and going into the office in my non-binary finery!

No blog post this week! I am in Vegas for a work conference (with a brief time out for some DDR). I'll be back next week with a full review of the game Wonderstop.

Me in my non-binary finery (Thanks Stephanie Sterling of The Jimquisition for that saying!).

This list was put together by Tanisha Stewart of Black Horror/Thriller writers.

The news has me worried - not just at the federal level, either. There have been so many bills introduced and pushed through.

We can do this.

So, I saw a godawful list of "Christmas movies" to watch over the month of December.

So I made my own, heavily leaning towards horror, AND I made it inclusive (there are Hannukah movies and one Kwanzaa).

Went to go see Wicked wearing an Olivia Frankenstein , because that's just how we roll.

Earrings by Heather's Cursed Curios and necklace by Ravengel Ringworks .

Hair and makeup and attitude are all me.

Some days, you just need to go back to your Rocky Horror roots.

So, as you folx know, I typically take a break from blogging during October due to real world obligations.

But! I will be back the first full week of November with some new recommendations, and hopefully some new steps in my drag journey! (Attached picture might be a hint.....)

Tomorrow's review has me thinking, what's the best fairy tale remix out there? For me, it's Sigourney Weaver's deliciously evil Stepmother in Snow White: A Tale of Terror - and who doesn't love Sam Neill popping up too?

I am obsessed with the myth of Medusa.

Interestingly, it was Ovid who really imagined her as a beautiful woman, not just a monster.

She was the only one of the Gorgon sisters who was mortal.

Apologies to all my adoring fans (ha!). I'm covered in hives right now, and I can't think through all the anti-histamines I'm taking.
I don't like half-assing my blog posts, either.
So, share with me your favorite Halloween Spooky books! (Picture nabbed from history.com)

Gearing up for a review of "House of Bone and Rain" by Gabino Iglesias. I have a bit of a teaser question for you, though: What lengths would you go to for your found family?
Drop your answers below, before next week!
