Spiky author person with a rad jewelry shop. I like animals and tweeting a lot. She/they, either works. Queer, ND, and probably watching a horror movie.

While you're at home watching your 96th episode of Big Brother I remind you that everything that delights you on TV was not created by tiny TV gnomes but by real human beings who need rent, food, healthcare, and basic necessities.

Your lockdown would have SUCKED without them. Without TV and film writers, quarantine in this country would have been far worse than it was. If you made it through even remotely sane, it's probably in no small part thanks to the limitless entertainment possibilities on your television.

Act like you respect that.

I remember this article! Yes, it was excellent, and super relevant to current Horror Discourse. Some non-fans are stuck on the video nasties notion of "horror is only horror if it's sleazy and bloody," and what's terrible about that is /horror fans themselves/ uphold that outside notion by saying if you don't want to watch Texas Chainsaw, you aren't a "real fan."

Look, I'm not jumping into it, but cozy horror is a type of game I've played, kinda like Stardew Valley, but with a horror aesthetic overlay.

Graveyard Keeper comes to mind.

There are no scares. There's a spooky vibe but nothing else. It's not a kids' game. Most of the people I know who play Stardew--which is notoriously played by adults but CAN be played by kids--would call it cozy.

It's that. With Halloween type graphics.

Not intended to scare. More intended to evoke a mood.

The theater is super nice. Behold, murals to its founding fathers, the prancing gays. A painted, thin figure pran... Bruce.

We're row C in the balcony. Fantastic view. ImageImage

Almost every one of my gay father's friends, my "uncles" from the 80s, died of AIDS. This question is only ever asked by children or someone who knows no or almost no gay people.

We've had a tragedy today.

My taco truck flavored jellybeans got delayed in shipping and will NOT be present for tonight's taste test.

But don't worry. We're trying 21 different varieties otherwise! Fucking taco truck jellybeans will be here Monday so you KNOW I'm breaking them out next time we gather. No way am I getting stuck with beef jellybeans by myself.
